As the Spring Festival holiday unfolds, market reports from Dalian reveal a thriving domestic market, characterized by peak season demand driving prices upward. The surge in raw material costs for sunflower seeds has resulted in a backlog of export orders, prompting some Chinese importers to source European sunflowers at discounted rates to meet local demand.
This week, the reference prices for confectionery-grade sunflower seeds range between $1580 and $1610 per ton, while bakery-grade sunflower seeds are priced between $1400 and $1430 per ton, FOB Tianjin or Dalian.
The market dynamics underscore the robustness of China’s domestic demand during the festive period, with importers strategically managing supply chains to ensure continuity amid price fluctuations.
Stay updated as the sunflower seed market continues to evolve during this bustling holiday season.
