01 Flaxseed

In Week 32 (August 4-8, 2025), the national average price of domestic flaxseed was 5,325 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-grade screened flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,300 yuan/ton; and the price of Russian first-grade raw flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,100 yuan/ton. This week's flaxseed market conditions in various regions are as follows:

Weekly Review:

Domestic flaxseed prices fell this week. On the supply side, sufficient Russian flaxseed supplies and falling supply costs led to an increase in domestic flaxseed arrivals. On the demand side, 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 led to traders' strong willingness to maintain prices, slightly supporting the flaxseed market. Kazakh flaxseed is quoted at 261,000 tenge/ton (including VAT). It is expected that the price of flaxseed will continue to be weak in the short term. There is a strong willingness to destock flaxseed. The quotation of new season flaxseed has a downward trend and there are fewer transactions. Therefore, the price of flaxseed may continue to fall, but the flaxseed is supported by import costs and the decline will not be too large.

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.
