Dalian: Exporters reported a drop in sunflower kernel prices this week, mainly due to a sluggish market and warmer weather. At the same time, the euro exchange rate began to recover, which is beneficial to exporting companies. The Middle East market is better than the European market. On the export side, prices have gradually declined. The confectionary-grade sunflower kernels are the main ones, while the bakery-grade sunflower kernels are not very competitive, and the orders from Europe and the Middle East are stable. Orders in the Middle East and Southeast Asia increased, and orders in the US market decreased significantly year on year. This week, the price of confectionary-grade sunflower kernels FOB Dalian or Tianjin is 1.590-1.630 US dollars/ton, and the price of bakery-grade sunflower kernels FOB Tianjin or Dalian is 1.580-1.620 US dollars/ton. Please continue to pay attention to the price changes in the Chinese market.
