Dalian: After Dalian pumpkin seeds were listed prices fell sharply, with the market predicting that the decline may continue according to feedback from market participants. European buyer inquiries increased significantly. Due to the reduction in the sown area for the new season, farmers in the producing areas hope to maintain a price protection mentality. The decline is expected to slow in the later period. Manufacturers begin to procure raw materials for production and processing. The gradual recovery of the euro exchange rate is beneficial to European customers’ imports. In addition, falling ocean freight rates in Europe and the US and food shortages in Europe are good news for exporters who already want to reduce procurement costs and improve the market.
