market-update No. 60-2021 pumpkin seed kernels

2021-09-01 | Pumpkin Seed prices continue their Rally
Pumpkin seeds dealers were very active during the last days and purchased the remaining old crop material. The consumption is excellent, and we expect no carry-over into crop 2021.
We are going into the new crop harvesting period, and yields are very low. In June and July 2021, we had 45 days of drought with extremely high temperatures. The heat destroyed the melons on the fields.

market-update No. 58-2021 new crop Bulgarian sunflower kernels

2021-08-24 | Sunflower prices continue the price Rally
The Bulgarian farmers are practically out of the market and offering no raw material. Prices are going firmer every day, and no shipper wants to sell the new crop. We are facing a tough transition period from the old to the new crop and expecting further increases until the end of the year. Our shipper Sadina is out of the market, and we do not know when he will come back.

market-update No. 57-2021 Bulgarian sunflower kernels new crop

2021-08-20 | Our Shipper Sadina refused all outstanding offers with immediate effect!
The farmers in South Bulgaria stopped the harvest. The Sunflower seed is still green and not dried. Farmers are holding back their product and offering only small portions like 20 mt here and there. How can you book enough material from farmers in such small amounts? The sunflower oil market is firm, and the oil crushers are gaining USD 100,00 p.mt higher profits versus dehullers based on today`s quotes. Sadina decided to focus on the performance against all agreed contracts and does not want to enlarge his risks which is the case with any other bookings.

market-update No. 56-2021 Bulgarian sunflower kernels new crop

2021-08-19 | Prices for sunflower seeds continue to go firmer
In the south of Bulgaria, the new harvest has started very slowly, and the farmers have partly stopped the harvest again because of high temperatures. In spring we had very heavy rains. Sowing was very late, and the seeds came up quickly, and the plants grew fast. Later it became extremely hot and dry, and we did not see any rainfall in Bulgaria. As a result, the harvest is very late. The sunflowers are full of seeds, but they have formed many shells and small meat. The farmers' yields per hectare are good, but the oil content and test weights are extremely low. As a result, they have to shell and crush much more raw material to produce kernels or oil.
