Dalian: According to feedback from market participants, pumpkin seeds in production areas have been listed one after another recently. Prices fell sharply, and European buyers’ inquiries increased significantly. Due to the reduction in the sown area in the new season, traders continued to maintain the price protection mentality. It is predicted that the decline will be slow in the later period. Manufacturers begin to purchase raw materials for production and processing. The gradual recovery of the euro exchange rate is beneficial to European customers’ imports. In addition, falling ocean freight rates in Europe and the US and food shortages in Europe are good news for exporters. Exporters want to reduce procurement costs and improve the market. Further focus on market changes.
