Weekly Review:

Domestic flaxseed prices remained stable this week, with sluggish trading and weak demand. On the supply side, the volume of flaxseed in the Chinese port market has decreased, reducing market supply pressure. On the demand side, replenishment is mainly on an as-needed basis, with slow sales and a strong wait-and-see attitude in the market. Overall flaxseed inventory is in a slow depletion phase. Internationally, the price of Kazakhstani flaxseed shipped to China (Alashankou) was 510-520 USD/ton; Canadian flaxseed prices were suspended; and flaxseed from the southern Black Sea region of Russia was quoted at 37400 rubles/ton.

Flaxseed prices are expected to fall in the short term (January-February). According to last week's voting results, the market is not optimistic about flaxseed prices and the overall trend is weak. The slow sales and abundant flaxseed production in Kazakhstan are dragging down the flaxseed market. However, the low flaxseed prices and the strong willingness of traders to maintain prices are supporting the flaxseed market. If the inventory pressure is large, prices may be reduced.
