# Ukraine's Sunflower Oil Supply Stable Despite Plant Shutdowns and Export Duty Debate

> Ukraine's Agrarian Policy Minister Taras Vysotskyi said Ukraine does not expect a sunflower oil shortage despite temporary shutdowns of some oil-extraction plants caused by Russian strikes. Domestic consumption is only 5-10% of output, and existing capacity can process the full sunflower, soybean and rapeseed harvest. The Ukroliiaprom association opposes abolishing oilseed export duties, arguing that doing so would undermine domestic processing.

## Why it matters

Plant outages are not expected to cut available supply because most output is exported and capacity is sufficient, which limits upside for sunflower oil prices. Any change to export duties would shift processing and tax revenue and could affect the flow of oilseeds and oil out of Ukraine.
