Chinese Pumpkin Kernel Market Downturn

Dalian: According to the market research report, the export market of pumpkin seeds has been sluggish recently, the purchasing power of the European market has declined, and the price this week was the same as last week. Affected by the global economy and market demand, exports to the European and American markets were slow. The United States was mainly affected by import tariffs, which increased the purchase cost of importers.

Due to the shortage of shell-less pumpkin seeds in the export market, the price of bare pumpkin seeds is stable. There is a shortage of raw materials for GWS pumpkin seeds in the market. Manufacturers want to buy at low prices, traders are reluctant to sell at low prices. The export market is mainly the European and American markets. Conventional products are the main products, and organic products are exported in limited quantities. In addition, sea freight rates have declined, export costs have gradually decreased, and exporters are looking forward to further reductions in sea freight rates. The export situation is difficult to change in the short term. Exporters are looking forward to lower purchasing costs and ocean freight rates, as well as an upturn in the market. Keep an eye out for market changes in late March.
