Weekly Review:

This week, a large quantity of new-season sunflowers entered the market both domestically and internationally, 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 rigid demand.

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 44 (October 27-31, 2025): The average domestic sunflower seed oil price was 12,120 yuan/ton. Specifically, the price of Grade 1 sunflower seed oil in Jiangsu was 12,400 yuan/ton; in Xinjiang, 11,300 yuan/ton; in Tianjin, 12,300 yuan/ton; and in Shanghai, 12,350 yuan/ton. Prices in each region are as follows:

Weekly Review:

This week, imported sunflower seed oil prices remained relatively stable, with actual transactions in North and East China hovering around 12,300 yuan/ton. New season sunflower oil is being crushed, and domestic arrivals are limited, resulting in continued tight supply and supporting the sunflower seed oil market. This week, the three major domestic edible oils continued to decline, with a weak domestic edible oil market. Coupled with the high price of sunflower seed oil and the significant substitution effect of other edible oils such as peanut oil and corn oil, weak demand limited the potential for further price increases in sunflower seed oil. As of October 31, the November FOB price at Russian Black Sea ports was $1180/ton, a decrease of $15/ton compared to the previous week.

In the short term, sunflower oil prices are likely to decline. From a supply and demand perspective, new season sunflower oil from Russia and Kazakhstan is arriving at ports, easing the current tight supply situation. While weakening international prices and sluggish demand pose a risk of price declines, the overall decline is limited by international sunflower oil prices and policy support.
