The flaxseed market situation in various regions this week is as follows:

Weekly Review:

Domestic flaxseed prices tended to stabilize this week. Currently, the supply of flaxseed at Chinese ports is relatively low, but a significant amount of shipments are expected in the short term, putting pressure on the port flaxseed market. On the demand side, the operating rate of Chinese flaxseed oil mills is currently low, resulting in limited market demand; replenishment is mainly done on an as-needed basis. Recently, international flaxseed prices have remained generally stable, which is beneficial for the stability of port flaxseed prices in the later period. International flaxseed prices rose slightly overall. In Russia's southern Black Sea region, flaxseed was quoted at 34,100 rubles/ton, unchanged; in Russia's central Novosibirsk region, it was quoted at 30,000 rubles/ton, up 1,000 rubles/ton; and in Kazakhstan, flaxseed CNF at the Yamaguchi/Gos border crossing was quoted at $495-515/ton, unchanged.

Flaxseed prices are expected to remain stable in the short term (January-February). Traders lack confidence in flaxseed prices, but a small demand peak is expected before the Spring Festival, supporting the flaxseed market. However, if sales are slow and inventory pressure is high, prices may continue to decline.

Weekly Review:

Flaxseed oil prices remained stable this week. Low flaxseed raw material prices, coupled with weak domestic prices for the three major oils, dragged down flaxseed oil market prices. Currently, the operating rate of flaxseed oil mills in China is not high, resulting in a tight supply of flaxseed oil in the market. However, the demand for flaxseed oil is declining, which is a negative factor for the flaxseed oil market. With many negative factors affecting the oil industry, flaxseed oil prices may continue to fall.
