Dalian: Exporters reported that as the summer gradually entered, the price of sunflower seed kernels should have fallen, but market participants predicted that the acreage of sunflower seeds in the new season would decline, and traders were hoarding goods, causing prices to rise. At the same time, a stronger dollar is good for U.S. importers. The Middle East market is better than the European market. On the export side, prices have gradually increased. In terms of exports, confectionary-grade sunflower kernels are the main ones, while bread-grade sunflower kernels are not very competitive, and orders from Europe and the Middle East are stable. Orders from the Middle East and Southeast Asia increased. This week, the price of confectionary-grade sunflower kernels FOB Dalian or Tianjin is 1.750-1.800 US dollars/ton, and the price of bakery-grade sunflower kernels FOB Tianjin or Dalian is 1.700-1.750 US dollars/ton. Please continue to pay attention to the price changes in the Chinese market.
