Flaxseed, flax oil and flax cake market forecast (week 7, 2025)

01 Flaxseed

In the 7th week (February 10-February 14, 2025), the national average price of domestic flax seeds was 5,228 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-grade screened flax seeds at Tianjin Port was 5,300 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-grade raw flax seeds at Tianjin Port was 5,100 yuan/ton. The flax seed market conditions in various regions this week are as follows:

Weekly Review:

This week, the price of flaxseed rose across the country. There is not much flaxseed in Kazakhstan, and farmers are reluctant to sell, which supports the price of flaxseed in foreign markets. In terms of supply, the arrival volume of flaxseed in Chinese ports is relatively large, and the market volume of flaxseed in ports will be relatively large in the later period, with sufficient supply. In terms of demand, Chinese flaxseed oil factories are starting to operate one after another. Affected by the psychological influence of buying high and not buying low, the speed of flaxseed sales has accelerated, which is good for the port flaxseed market. This week, the international flaxseed price is 550 US dollars/ton for the new season in the Black Sea region of southern Russia, which is stable; 530 US dollars/ton in the central region, with a shipping date of March-April, which is higher than last week; Canada quoted 610 US dollars/ton, which is an increase; Kazakhstan quoted 520-530 US dollars/ton, which is an increase.

It is expected that the price of flaxseed will remain stable in the short term. The fundamentals of flaxseed are strong in supply and weak in demand. A large number of flaxseeds have arrived at the port. The cost of arrival in Russia is relatively low, and the supply is sufficient, which is bearish for the flaxseed market.

02 Flax oil

Week 7 (February 10-14, 2025) The prices of second and third grade linseed oil in various parts of China this week are as follows:

Weekly Review:

This week, the price of linseed oil was stable with a slight decline. At present, Chinese linseed oil factories have started to press linseed oil one after another, and the supply of linseed oil is slightly loose, which is bearish for the linseed oil market. In terms of demand, the demand for linseed oil is weak after the holiday, which is bearish for the linseed oil market. It is expected that the price of linseed oil will remain stable in the short term. After the holiday, the supply of linseed oil in the market will increase, which will suppress the linseed oil market. In addition, the demand is not strong, which is bearish for the linseed oil market.

03 Flax cake

Week 7 (February 10-February 14, 2025) This week's flaxseed cake prices are as follows: Zhangjiakou 2800-3400 yuan/ton; Datong 2700-2800 yuan/ton; Shenchi 3000 yuan/ton; Zhongwei 2600-2900 yuan/ton; Shizuishan 3300 yuan/ton; Baotou 3000 yuan/ton; Tianjin 3200 yuan/ton.

Weekly Review:

The overall price of flax cake is stable this week. In recent days, the flaxseed market has improved, supporting the flax cake market. As the weather warms up in various places, the proportion of flaxseed cake as a high-calorie feed ratio has decreased, so the speed of flax cake sales has slowed down again. After the Lantern Festival, the operating rate of flaxseed oil plants has increased, and the supply is generally sufficient, which is bearish for the flaxseed cake market. It is expected that the price of flax cake will fluctuate steadily in the short term.
