Chinese Pumpkin Kernel: Factories are Stopping Producing One After Another to Welcome the Spring Festival

Dalian: Exporters reported that sales of pumpkin seeds were suspended as the Spring Festival approached. Most producers and exporters export factories began to shut down. This week, the pumpkin seed kernels in the market were stable, and the GWS pumpkin seed kernels were still out of stock in the market. It is expected that procurement will become more difficult after the Spring Festival. Many exporters have stopped exporting offers. Prices are for reference only. Currently, major exporters export bright-skinned pumpkin seeds AA and A. Due to the lack of GWS raw materials, it is difficult for importers to purchase GWS pumpkin seeds, the cost increases, and the export quantity is limited. Exporters predict that the price of pumpkin seeds will remain stable in the short term. Prices will fluctuate after the Spring Festival. High prices lead to a decline in export demand and domestic trade demand. In addition, sea freight is too high, and exporters are in trouble. The export situation is difficult to change in the short term. Exporters are looking forward to a drop in procurement costs, ocean freight rates, and an improvement in the market. Pay attention to subsequent market changes.
