Week 43 (October 20-24, 2025): Domestic sunflower prices remained relatively stable this week. Specific regional prices are as follows:

Weekly Review:

 A large quantity of new-season sunflowers entered the market both domestically and internationally this week, but arrivals at ports were limited. Currently, traders are mainly clearing out old-season inventory, resulting in slow overall sales. On the supply side, although sunflowers are concentrated in the market, arrivals are limited, leading to a tight supply and supporting sunflower prices. On the demand side, new-season supplies are arriving gradually, resulting in a shortage and higher prices. The market is mainly driven by replenishment of essential needs.

It is expected that sunflower prices will remain stable in the short term (January-February). During the transition period, new-season sunflower prices are relatively high, and traders are mostly adopting a wait-and-see attitude. However, high sunflower oil prices are supporting sunflower prices. Overall, supply and demand are relatively balanced. In the future, close attention should be paid to the harvest situation and policy trends in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan.

02 Sunflower oil

Week 43 (October 20-24, 2025): The average domestic sunflower seed oil price this week was 12,100 yuan/ton. Specifically, the price of Grade 1 sunflower seed oil in Jiangsu was 12,300 yuan/ton; in Xinjiang, it was 11,300 yuan/ton; in Tianjin, it was 12,300 yuan/ton; and in Shanghai, it was 12,350 yuan/ton. Prices in each region are as follows:

Weekly Review:

This week, imported sunflower seed oil prices remained relatively stable. New season sunflower oil is being crushed, and domestic arrivals are limited, resulting in tight supply and supporting the sunflower seed oil market. However, high prices and slow sales, coupled with a significant substitution effect from other oils and weak demand, limit the potential for further price increases. As of October 24, the October FOB price at Russian Black Sea ports was $1,195/ton, an increase of $15/ton compared to the previous week.

In the short term, sunflower seed oil prices are likely to continue to remain stable. From a supply and demand perspective, the arrival of new season sunflower seed oil from Russia and Kazakhstan has eased the current tight supply situation in the market. However, the price of sunflower seed oil may continue to be supported by international edible oil prices and policies, so the price of sunflower seed oil may remain stable.
