01 Flaxseed

In the 24th week (June 9-June 13, 2025), the national average price of domestic flaxseed was 5,494 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-class screened flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,600 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-class raw flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,400 yuan/ton. The flaxseed market conditions in various regions this week are as follows:

Weekly Review:

The domestic flaxseed price remained basically unchanged this week, and the price of Canadian flaxseed at Tianjin Port rose by 100 yuan/ton. At present, the operating rate of flaxseed oil factories is still low, the demand for flaxseed at ports is relatively weak, the supply of flaxseed is sufficient, and the domestic port warehouse continues to be high, which is bearish for the flaxseed market. In terms of demand, downstream companies replenish stocks on demand, and the main terminal markets are slow to move goods and have less stockpiling.

This week, the international flaxseed price was stable. CNF in the southern Black Sea region of Russia quoted flaxseed at US$630/ton, with a shipping date of July-August. Canada quoted US$770/ton and Kazakhstan flaxseed at US$700/ton.

In the short term, it is more likely that flaxseed prices will remain stable. If flaxseed sales continue to be sluggish, there may be a risk of a decline.

02 Flax oil

Week 24 (June 9-June 13, 2025) This week, the domestic first-grade linseed oil prices are as follows: Lanzhou 11,500-11,700 yuan/ton; Wuzhong 11,500-11,550 yuan/ton, Yinchuan 11,500-11,750 yuan/ton, Hohhot 11,600 yuan/ton; Zhangjiakou 11,500 yuan/ton; Xingtai 11,000 yuan/ton; Tianjin Binhai 11,500-11,600 yuan/ton, Suzhou 11,600-11,800 yuan/ton, Nantong 11,600-11,800 yuan/ton.

Weekly Review:

The price of linseed oil fell slightly this week, with sluggish trading and poor demand. The operating rate of linseed oil factories continued to be low this week, and the supply of linseed oil was small, which was good for the linseed oil market. In terms of demand, linseed oil consumption is in the off-season, linseed oil demand is not strong, and market demand is weak, which is bad for the linseed oil market. It is expected that the price of linseed oil will continue to be stable in the short term, and the possibility of fluctuation is relatively high.

03 Flax cake

Week 24 (June 9-June 13, 2025) This week's flaxseed cake prices are as follows: Zhangjiakou 2800-3400 yuan/ton; Datong 2900-3000 yuan/ton; Shenchi 2800-3200 yuan/ton; Zhongwei 2800-3000 yuan/ton; Shizuishan 3000 yuan/ton; Baotou 2800 yuan/ton; Tianjin 2700-3000 yuan/ton; Nantong 2730-2800 yuan/ton; Wuzhong 3000-3100 yuan/ton.

Weekly Review:

The overall price of flaxseed cake remained stable this week. As the temperature rises in various places, flaxseed cake, as a high-calorie feed raw material, does not account for a large proportion in the feed ratio. The demand for flaxseed cake is weak, and the pressing plant is slow to ship. The low operating rate of flaxseed oil plants and tight supply support the flaxseed cake market. It is expected that the price of flax cake will continue to be stable in the short term, and there is a high possibility of fluctuation.
