Turkey reduces import duties on sunseed and unrefined sunflower oil
Turkey has reduced import duties on crude sunflower oil from 36% to 30% and on sunflower seeds from 20% to 12%, according to a decree published in the Official Gazette on August 27. The new tariffs will come into effect on October 1, 2025.
This initiative follows a July decision to impose import quotas on sunflower seeds and crude sunflower oil from January 12 to May 31, 2026. Under the program, industrial processors will be able to import 1 million tons of sunflower seeds duty-free or the equivalent of 400,000 tons of crude sunflower oil with a reduced duty of 20%. The changes are aimed at supporting the Turkish vegetable oil sector and increasing its competitiveness in the international market.
The new tariffs and quotas are expected to boost sunflower oil imports, especially from Russia and Ukraine, stabilizing domestic prices and strengthening Turkey’s position as an exporter of refined oil in the Black Sea-Mediterranean region.
