Xinjiang: Exporters reported that Xinjiang sunflower seeds would be listed in succession this week, but due to large-scale production cuts, prices are much higher than the new product listing prices in the same period last year. Old crop sunflower seeds in Inner Mongolia have been affected by Xinjiang’s production cuts, and their prices have risen.
The good news is that the new season of sunflower seeds in Inner Mongolia is on the rise, and it is predicted that there will be no reduction in production. When the sunflower seeds are listed in early October, the price of the sunflower seed is lowered. Importers are currently holding a wait-and-see attitude. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle East regions Are the main export area of sunflower seeds in China. This week, exporters quoted FOB Tianjin: 1.350 US dollars/ton, export standard. Model 361, 190-200 sticks/50g, October, November, and December are the peak season for exports and the peak season for domestic food factories and traders to purchase. Traders have been paying attention to price changes in the production area.
