DALIAN: Chinese sunflower kernel prices were affected by sunflower seed prices of Eastern Europe and the export market remained under pressure. Domestic sunflower kernel prices declined slightly as low-priced raw materials from Europe entered the market. However, sunflower kernel sales were well below the lower sunflower seed volumes.
Reference prices for confectionery-grade sunflower kernels ranged between $1,330 and $1,360 per tonne this week, while reference prices for bakery-grade sunflower kernels ranged between $1,340 and $1,370 per tonne FOB Tianjin or Dalian.
