01 Flaxseed

In the third week (January 12-16, 2026), the national average price of flaxseed in China was 4943 yuan/ton; the price of old Russian flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 4850 yuan/ton; the price of second-grade Russian flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 4900 yuan/ton; and the price of first-grade new Russian flaxseed was 5200 yuan/ton. The flaxseed market situation in various regions this week is as follows:

Weekly Review:

Domestic flaxseed prices remained stable this week. The overall trading pace in the flaxseed market was slow, with slow sales. Market transactions were mainly based on actual negotiated prices, and the overall market trend was weak. On the supply side, the volume of flaxseed at Chinese ports was relatively large, putting pressure on the port flaxseed market. On the demand side, the operating rate of flaxseed oil mills in China is currently low, resulting in limited demand for flaxseed at ports. The market for flaxseed oil and flaxseed cake in the terminal market was weak, but with the Spring Festival approaching, consumption in the flaxseed oil market in various regions is expected to improve, providing some support to the market.

Flaxseed prices are expected to remain stable in the short term (January-February). Traders lack confidence in flaxseed, and a small demand peak is expected before the Spring Festival, supporting the flaxseed market. However, after the Spring Festival, demand for flaxseed oil will fall into a trough. If sales are slow and inventory pressure is high, prices may continue to be reduced.
