Export Market Feedback
This week, exporters report that pumpkin seed kernel prices in Dalian remain stable. The Middle East and European markets have seen only small quantities of goods being traded. Additionally, domestic food factories have reduced their purchases, making it challenging to push prices higher.
Impact of Seasonal Weather
As July approaches, bringing high temperatures across the country, market demand for pumpkin seed kernels is expected to decrease further. This seasonal reduction in demand is likely to increase downward pressure on prices.
Inventory and Price Fluctuations
Inventory holders are increasing their sales efforts this month due to the scarcity of shelled pumpkin seed kernel inventory. Despite the overall stable prices, these efforts may lead to some fluctuations in the market.
The current stability in pumpkin seed kernel prices, coupled with reduced demand and inventory scarcity, suggests a complex market environment. As high temperatures set in and demand continues to wane, stakeholders should remain attentive to potential price changes and market shifts. Keeping an eye on inventory levels and seasonal trends will be essential for making informed decisions in the coming months.
