Flaxseed, flax oil and flax cake market forecast (Week 25, 2025)

01 Flaxseed

In the 25th week (June 16-June 20, 2025), the national average price of domestic flaxseed was 5,472 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-class screened flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,550 yuan/ton; the price of Russian first-class raw flaxseed at Tianjin Port was 5,350 yuan/ton. The flaxseed market situation in various regions this week is as follows:

Weekly Review:

This week, the domestic flaxseed price fell, and the flaxseed price in the Tianjin Port area was reduced by 50-100 yuan/ton. At present, the operating rate of flaxseed oil factories is low. Most oil factories are mainly based on rigid demand and rarely stock up. The supply of flaxseed is sufficient, and the inventory of domestic ports is at a high level, which is bearish for the flaxseed market. In terms of demand, downstream companies replenish stocks on demand, and the main terminal markets sell goods slowly and stock up less. Due to the reduction in my country's imports, foreign countries have suspended quotations.

In the short term, it is more likely that the price of flaxseed will remain stable. If the sales of flaxseed continue to be sluggish, there may be a risk of decline. In 2025/26, Kazakhstan will become the main supplier of flaxseed imports to my country. It is predicted that the production of flaxseed in the Black Sea region will increase, and the global market supply of flaxseed will increase. In the long run, it is unlikely that flaxseed will rise sharply.

02 Flax oil

Week 25 (June 16-June 20, 2025) This week, the domestic first-grade linseed oil prices are as follows: Lanzhou 11,400-11,500 yuan/ton; Wuzhong 11,400-11,500 yuan/ton, Yinchuan 11,400-11,500 yuan/ton, Hohhot 11,500 yuan/ton; Zhangjiakou 11,500 yuan/ton; Xingtai 11,000 yuan/ton; Tianjin Binhai 11,500-11,600 yuan/ton, Suzhou 11,500-11,600 yuan/ton, Nantong 11,500-11,600 yuan/ton.

Weekly Review:

The price of linseed oil continued to fall this week. The high price of linseed oil, poor demand, and sluggish trading dragged down the price of linseed oil. The operating rate of linseed oil factories continued to be low this week, and the supply of linseed oil was small. It is the off-season for linseed oil consumption, the demand for linseed oil is not strong, and the market demand is weak, which is bearish 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 25 (June 16-June 20, 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.
