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

Weekly Review:

This week, domestic flaxseed prices remained relatively stable. Second-grade Kazakhstani flaxseed from 2025, with an oil yield of 39-40%, was priced at 4700-4750 yuan/ton at Alashankou, Xinjiang. Currently, the overall trading pace in the flaxseed market is slow, with slow sales. Market transactions are mainly based on actual negotiated prices, and the overall market is stable. The current 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. Recently, international flaxseed prices have remained generally stable, which is beneficial for the stability of port flaxseed prices in the later period. International prices remained relatively stable overall. Flaxseed in the southern Black Sea region of Russia was quoted at 34,100 rubles/ton, while flaxseed in the Novosibirsk region of central Russia was quoted at 30,000 rubles/ton, an increase of 1,000 rubles/ton. CNF prices for Kazakh flaxseed at the Yamaguchi/Gos border crossing were quoted at $495-515/ton.

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. Flaxseed raw material prices were also stable. Demand was weak, and the overall domestic oil market was weak, dragging down flaxseed oil 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.
