# New food-grade sunflower crop puts pressure on prices in China while European prices rise

> Prices for confectionery sunseed and kernels are rising in Europe, while new-crop food-grade volumes in China, including Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, are pressuring lower-quality seed. Quoted export offers include black in-shell seed at about $1,750/t FOB Dalian and bakery kernels at $1,350/t.

## Why it matters

This concerns food-grade sunflower seed rather than feed meal, so its feed impact is limited, though rising European kernel prices hint at tighter premium supply.
