CHRUDIM. The massive price reductions of the past weeks have given a slight boost to trading activity in the Czech blue poppy seed market. Market players hope for good trades in the coming weeks.

Prices stable for the time being

Czech blue poppy seeds have stabilised at a price level of EUR 1.55/kg FCA. After prices had been steadily falling for more than half a year, and especially in the last few weeks, they made drastic leaps downwards and buying interest is slowly picking up again. Market players are therefore hoping for the usual increase in demand before Easter.
