TIANJIN: According to the feedback from exporters and producers, inquiries for sunflower seeds in the Middle East have increased recently. The difficulties in cargo transportation affected by the domestic epidemic have been alleviated, and the cost of inland cargo transportation has also been reduced. It is expected that there will be a small peak in the export market of sunflower seeds from the end of April to the middle of May, and exporters will clear their inventories with small profits and quick turnover.
At present, the supply of goods in the producing area is sufficient, and exporters increase production. The best time to export is before summer. As the domestic trade market gradually entered the off-season, the market price dropped slightly compared with before the Spring Festival. The Middle East market accounts for about 70% of exports. This week, 361 standard sunflower seeds were exported, and the number of seeds was 180-190/50g. The export price is US$ 1.270-1.310/ton, and the price of COUNT 190-200PCS/50G is US$ 1.260-1.290/ton. Continue to monitor market changes.
