Russia maintains high 2026 export duties on oilseeds: 50% of customs value (minimum RUB 32,000/t) on sunseed, 20% (minimum $100/t) on soybeans, 30% (minimum €165/t) on rapeseed, and 10% on linseed. The duties make some exports economically unviable and push domestic prices down for farmers.
High duties cut Russian oilseed exports, keeping supply within Russia and lowering domestic raw-material prices that favour its crushers. Reduced export availability could support world sunseed and soybean oil prices, while soybean exports remain possible at a cost.
After 842 past bullish policy events, Soybean Oil moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.6% to +2.1%), and -0.5% over 20.
