01 Flaxseed

In Week 31 (July 28-August 1, 2025), the national average price of domestic flaxseed was 5,406 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-grade screened flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,400 yuan/ton; and the price of Russian first-grade raw flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,200 yuan/ton. This week's flaxseed market conditions in various regions are as follows:

Weekly Review:

Domestic flaxseed prices fell this week, primarily due to the concentrated arrival of new-season Russian flaxseed. Sufficient supply and lower supply costs led to increased domestic flaxseed arrivals. Coupled with warm temperatures, traders were more willing to destock. Flaxseed demand was weak, oil mill operating rates were low, and flaxseed sales were slow. Low flaxseed prices, coupled with the support of previous import costs, have encouraged traders to maintain prices, providing slight support to the flaxseed market.

Flaxseed prices are expected to remain weak in the short term. With a strong desire to destock old-season flaxseed, new-season flaxseed prices are trending downward, and transaction volume is low, flaxseed prices may continue to fall. However, with import costs supporting flaxseed, the decline will be limited.

02 Flax oil

Week 31 (July 28 - August 1, 2025) This week's domestic first-grade linseed oil quotations are as follows: Lanzhou 11,300-11,400 yuan/ton; Wuzhong 11,250-11,400 yuan/ton, Yinchuan 11,250-11,400 yuan/ton, Hohhot 11,300 yuan/ton; Zhangjiakou 11,400 yuan/ton; Xingtai 11,000 yuan/ton; Tianjin Binhai 11,300-11,500 yuan/ton, Suzhou 11,500-11,600 yuan/ton, Nantong 11,500-11,600 yuan/ton. Bulk crude flaxseed oil prices are as follows: 10,200-10,300 yuan/ton in Ulanqab; 10,300 yuan/ton in Hohhot; 10,400 yuan/ton in Zhangjiakou; 11,000 yuan/ton in Xingtai; and 10,300 yuan/ton in Tianjin Binhai.

Weekly Review:

Flaxseed oil prices remained stable this week. Currently, flaxseed oil supply and demand are balanced. Sluggish demand and sluggish trading are dragging down flaxseed oil prices. Linseed oil plant operating rates remain low, resulting in limited supply. This is the off-season for flaxseed oil consumption, and weak market demand is bearish for the flaxseed oil market. It is expected that flaxseed oil prices will remain stable in the short term, with a high probability of fluctuation.

03 Flax cake

Week 31 (July 28-August 1, 2025): This week's flaxseed cake prices are as follows: Zhangjiakou 2,800-3,400 yuan/ton; Datong 2,900-3,000 yuan/ton; Shenchi 2,800-3,200 yuan/ton; Zhongwei 2,800-3,000 yuan/ton; Shizuishan 3,000 yuan/ton; Baotou 2,800 yuan/ton; Tianjin Binhai 2,700-3,000 yuan/ton; Nantong 2,730-2,800 yuan/ton; Wuzhong 2,900 yuan/ton.

Weekly Review:

Overall flaxseed cake prices remained stable this week, with both supply and demand weak. Flaxseed cake is a high-calorie feed ingredient and is not often added to feed mixes in summer. Consequently, demand for flaxseed cake is weak, sales are slow, and this is bearish for flaxseed cake prices. Recently, flaxseed oil mills have had low operating rates, resulting in tight supply, which is supporting the flaxseed cake market. It is expected that the price of flax cake will continue to be stable in the short term, and there is a high possibility of fluctuation.
