market-update No. 55-2021 Turkish sultanas
2021-08-13 | Turkish sultanas prices continue to go firmer
The Turkish Ministry of Agriculture's team of experts is currently inspecting the vines to determine their crop estimate. The first figures are leaking out, according to which the harvest is expected to be only about 230,000 mt. That would be extremely low and well below last year's 300,000 mt. Our shipper estimates about 250,000 mt. Prices continue to rise in Turkey, and we see growing uncertainty. What will the TMO do next?

market-update No. 54-2021 pumpkin seed kernels
2021-08-13 | Prices for pumpkin seeds new crop will continue to go firmer
We have known for some weeks that the crop outlook for pumpkin seeds is not favorable. In Europe, the weather has been very hard on pumpkins. Especially in Austria, it was far too wet. The Austrian oil crushers are forecasting a minimal harvest. In the coming season, it could be that for the first time in years, they will import GWS from China and crush it for oil to meet the demand. Furthermore, we see a very tight freight market, and nobody knows what the truck freight from Graz to Hamburg will cost next year. Long-term deals are therefore hardly possible.
