Stable Prices Despite Reduced Demand

Recent feedback from market participants in Dalian indicates that the recent high temperatures across the country have led to a reduction in market demand for pumpkin seed kernels. Despite this, prices have remained stable.

Shell-less Pumpkin Seed Kernels

The inventory of shell-less pumpkin seed kernels is currently scarce, and as a result, price fluctuations have been minimal. This stability is due to limited supply, even as demand has decreased.

Bright Plate Pumpkin Seed Kernels

The market demand for bright plate pumpkin seed kernels has been affected, with traders showing less activity in procurement. As summer progresses, the market is expected to enter its traditional off-season, further reducing trade volumes.

Reduction in Raw Material Procurement

Producers have responded to the changing market conditions by reducing the amount of raw material they procure in stages. This cautious approach aims to balance supply with the reduced demand.

Export Market Outlook

The export market for pumpkin seed kernels is also expected to enter a quiet period. With reduced procurement and lower demand, international trade activities are likely to slow down in the coming months.

The high temperatures across China have significantly impacted the demand for pumpkin seed kernels, leading to a stable price environment despite reduced market activity. As the market moves into its off-season, both domestic and export trade are expected to see a lull, prompting producers to adjust their procurement strategies accordingly.
