TIANJIN: Demand for sunflower seeds decreased in July and August due to hot weather and the traditional low season of sales. As the acreage will decrease in 2022, traders have recently tried to support prices. Prices may fall slightly. The market is expected to remain subdued as the hot weather continues. At present, the supply of goods in the producing area is sufficient. This week, 361 standard sunflower seeds were exported, 180-190pcs/50g. The export price is 1.300-1.350 US dollars/ton, and the count 190-200PCS/50G price is 1.290-1.330 US dollars/ton. Continue to monitor market changes. Markets and producing areas are closely watched as the weather forecast calls for widespread rain last week.
