Weekly Review:

Domestic sunflower prices remained stable this week. Currently at the end of the sunflower season, international supply is tightening, and arrivals are limited. This tight supply has led to traders holding strong price support, supporting the sunflower market. Due to limited supply, the market has begun stockpiling small quantities to meet demand in August and September, leading to a slight improvement in trading volume. A bumper harvest is expected in the new international season, leading to an easing supply, sparking concerns in the market and negatively impacting sunflower market prices.

Domestic sunflower prices are expected to remain stable in the short term. The current rise in sunflower oil prices, coupled with the high price of sunflower oil, driven by cost pressures, may drag down market prices. Focus on weather conditions in key producing areas of Russia and Ukraine and changes in international trade.

02 Sunflower Oil

Week 32 (August 4-8, 2025): The average domestic sunflower oil price this week was 11,092 yuan/ton. Grade-A sunflower oil in Jiangsu was quoted at 11,200 yuan/ton; in Xinjiang, 10,550 yuan/ton; in Tianjin, 11,200 yuan/ton; and in Shanghai, 11,200 yuan/ton. Prices by region are as follows:

Weekly Review:

Domestic sunflower oil prices rose this week. Currently, prices are relatively high, and the market reflects slow sales. Positive factors for sunflower oil include: First, high imported sunflower oil prices, low import margins for traders, reduced arrivals, and slightly tight spot inventories, supporting the market price. Second, as of August 4, the August FOB Black Sea port price in Russia was $1,125/ton, up $5/ton from the previous week. Rising import costs slightly supported market prices. Third, the three major oils and fats remained firm this week, providing slight support to the market price. Negative factors include: First, high sunflower oil prices and a poor price-performance ratio, leading to a corresponding decrease in demand; second, the industry's traditional off-season has weakened demand for sunflower oil, suppressing market prices.

Sunflower oil prices are likely to remain stable in the short term. Before the arrival of the new season's sunflowers, market supply is limited. Oil mills are also starting to stockpile, and traders are keen to maintain prices. However, high prices and low market demand are limiting the price appreciation of sunflower oil. Focus will be on the oil and fat market and the fluctuations of overseas prices in the future.
