Chinese Sunflower Seed: The domestic market is better than the export market

TIANJIN: According to feedback from market participants, at this stage, the speed of delivery of goods in various production areas is average. Affected by the prices of raw materials, the epidemic situation and other different factors this year, the asking prices of good goods by some holders remain high, which does not meet the psychological cost of buyers, which leads to the current stage. Some food roasting plants slightly decline their enthusiasm to purchase goods, and they are in a wait-and-see state. But the sunflower seed market is better than the pumpkin seed market.

Sunflower seeds have entered the peak sales season, and the domestic market demand has increased significantly. Affected by market demand, domestic sunflower seed prices rose slightly. In terms of exports, the market was affected by the epidemic and ocean freight, and the number of exports decreased compared with last year, mainly due to the substantial increase in import costs for purchasers. The purchasing power of traditional export regions such as Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey has declined. The Southeast Asian market, which is less affected by the shipping market, is better than last year. Shipping costs are much lower than those in Europe and America, and sales are increasing. The particle size of 361 standard sunflower seeds this week is 180-190/50g. The export price is US$1330-1360/ton, and the cost of COUNT 190-200PCS/50G is US$1280-1310/ton.
