Chinese Pumpkin Kernel: Production Area Logistics Problems Are Solved

Dalian: This week, the epidemic has eased, and the problem of cargo transportation in the production area has been solved. Prices have fallen, which is favorable for the export of goods. The raw materials of light board pumpkin seeds are sufficient. However, affected by the Ukrainian-Russian war, European suppliers had difficulty meeting market demand. Europe and the United States mainly start purchasing from China, but the United States is affected by import tariffs and shipping, which increases the purchase cost of importers and reduces the number of purchases. The Southeast Asian market has a small order volume. Conventional products are the main products. Organic products are expensive, and the export volume is limited. In addition, sea freight rates in Europe and the United States have fallen again, and export costs have dropped significantly. Exporters are looking to clear stocks by summer. The export situation is difficult to change in the short term. Exporters want to reduce procurement costs and improve the market. Keep an eye out for market changes in May.
