[FONT=&quot]Please tell me which verb is better to use:

The company will demand for foodstuffs prices to be changed every nine months.
[/FONT][FONT=&quot]
The company will demand foodstuffs prices to be changed every nine months. [/FONT]
 
The problem is with the word "foodstuffs". Change that to "foodstuff".
 
Don't use "for" and omit the "to."

They will demand that prices be changed.

If you want to retain plural form of 'foodstuff', try this way with verb 'revise':
The company will demand the prices of foodstuffs to be changed/revised every nine months. Or
The company will demand a revision of the prices of foodstuffs in every nine months.
