In Kazakhstan this week there has been an increase in prices for flax seeds. According to IA APK-Inform , this trend is due to a reduction in the number of oilseed offers from farmers against the backdrop of seasonal depletion of stocks. Meanwhile, as market participants say, the factor is also due to the fact that China began to actively import Kazakh flax, APK Novosti agency reports .

Thus, as of July 28, demand prices for flax are announced in the range of 155-165 thousand tenge / t EXW, depending on the quality characteristics of raw materials, which is 5 thousand tenge higher than last week's prices.

It is worth noting that export prices have also increased and are currently fixed within 385-395 USD/t FCA, against last week's prices of 370-390 USD/t on the same terms of delivery.
