Dalian: Exporters reported that pumpkin seeds kernels in some production areas declined this week, and there was a severe shortage of GWS pumpkin seeds in the market. Many exporters stopped quoting. Just offer a reference price. The leading exporters export shine skin pumpkin seed kernels AA and A.
It is more difficult for importers to purchase GWS pumpkin seeds, the cost increases, and the export quantity is limited. Due to reduced production of pumpkin seeds and stockpiling by traders, the quality is differentiated, and prices are unstable. Exporters predict that prices will not fall sharply in the short term.
High prices have led to a decline in export demand and domestic trade demand. In addition, the ocean freight is too high, and exporters are in trouble. The export situation is difficult to change in the short term. Exporters look forward to declining procurement costs and ocean freight and expect the market to improve.
