Dalian: Exporters reported that the country was in the rainy season in June and the weather was cool, and the sales of sunflower kernels in the domestic market were good. In terms of exports, the main markets are the United States, South Korea, Germany and the Netherlands. Due to the hot weather, some importers avoid summer purchases. Confectionary-grade sunflower kernels dominate exports, while bakery-grade sunflower kernels are mainly purchased from Bulgaria. Domestic bakery-grade sunflower seeds are not very competitive. The high price in the shipping market affects the quantity exported to Europe and the United States, resulting in a decrease in orders in Europe and the Middle East and an increase in orders in Southeast Asia. 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.
