Buy sunflower seeds wholesale from China - price from manufacturer 2026

I. General market situation

Today in the domestic sunflower market across China, the pace of shipments is slow, and overall trading activity is low.

A high-quality product is stable, a low-quality product is weak.
Price ranges for the main grades are formed, actual transactions are made after inspection of the goods and negotiations.
