# Ukrainian processors lower sunflower prices and ask for an increase in the export duty 26.10.2022 - UkrAgroConsult

> Ukrainian processors have lowered sunflower purchase prices to UAH 14-15 thousand/t, about $385-410/t delivered to plants, citing uncertainty over the grain corridor after November 19. Processors also asked the government to consider raising the sunflower seed export duty from 3.5% to 10% to favor oil exports.
