Chinese Pumpkin Kernel: Pay Attention to Post-Holiday Market Changes

Dalian: During the Spring Festival, the sales of pumpkin seeds in the domestic market were good. Spring is at its peak. The export market entered a quiet period, and prices were stable. This week, pumpkin seed kernels in some producing areas declined, and there was a serious shortage of GWS pumpkin seeds in the market. Sourcing has become more difficult, and many exporters have stopped making export 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 and ocean freight rates, and an improvement in the market. Pay attention to post-holiday market changes.
