This week's flaxseed market conditions in various regions are as follows:

Weekly Review:

Domestic flaxseed prices remained strong this week, with improved trading. The implementation of a 10% export tariff on Russian flaxseed has increased the cost of flaxseed arriving at Chinese ports. On the demand side, increased oil mill operating rates in preparation for the Mid-Autumn Festival have boosted flaxseed demand at ports. On the supply side, domestic flaxseed arrivals decreased, resulting in a slight slowdown in flaxseed supply. Overall, flaxseed inventories at ports are declining, easing supply pressure. Regarding international prices, Kazakh flaxseed prices are stable at 245,000-250,000 tenge per ton. New-season flaxseed prices are reported at $530-540 per ton arriving at Alashankou. Harvest of the new-season flaxseed has just begun, and price quotes are updated.

It is expected that flaxseed prices will be strong in the short term. The flaxseed market is uncertain. Kazakhstan is in the harvest season, and the output and quality need to be observed. The recent improvement in flaxseed demand and the support of flaxseed import costs mean that flaxseed prices may continue to rise.

Weekly Review:

Linseed oil prices fell this week. Mid-Autumn Festival stockpiles fell short of expectations, with only half of the supply sold, dragging down market prices. On the supply side, linseed oil mill operating rates have increased, boosting supply. Linseed oil prices are expected to remain stable in the short term, with a high likelihood of fluctuations.
