Dalian: Exporters reported that traders predict that the planting area will decrease in the new season, leading to hoarding in the market and cyclical price increases. Due to the hot summer weather, which is not conducive to the sale of sunflower kernel products, the predicted price increase is temporary. Also, importers mostly avoid summer purchases. Regarding exports, confectionary-grade sunflower kernels are the main products, 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.
