Dalian: Exporters report that traders are forecasting a reduction in some of the acreage in the new season, leading to hoarding by traders and cyclical price increases. The price increase is expected to be temporary as the hot summer weather is not conducive to the sales of sunflower kernel products. Also, importers mostly avoid summer purchases. In terms of exports, the markets in Europe, Southeast Asia and the United States are dominated by confectionary-grade sunflower kernels, while bakery-grade sunflower kernels are not very competitive, and orders from Europe and the Middle East have decreased. This week, the price of confectionary-grade sunflower kernels FOB Dalian or Tianjin is 1.770-1.810 US dollars/ton, and the price of bakery-grade sunflower kernels FOB Tianjin or Dalian is 1.700-1.740 US dollars/ton. Please continue to pay attention to the price changes in the Chinese market.
