The main producing areas of flaxseed include Canada, Russia, Argentina, China, the United States and other countries. Among them, Canada is the main producer of flaxseed, accounting for more than 70% of the global production. The following is the production of flaxseed in various countries:

Canada: In 2019, the production of flaxseed has exceeded 1.5 million tons, ranking first in the world.

Russia: The annual production of flaxseed is about 300,000 tons.

Argentina: The annual production of flaxseed is about 200,000 tons.

China: The annual production of flaxseed is about 150,000 tons.

The United States: The annual production of flaxseed is about 100,000 tons.

In general, flaxseed production is mainly concentrated in North America and Eurasia. As people's demand for flaxseed continues to grow, the production of flaxseed is also increasing year by year.

In recent years, Russia has been increasing the production and export of flaxseed and flaxseed oil. In 2022, Russia's flaxseed exports increased by 46%, export revenue increased by 33%, and flaxseed oil also increased by 31% and 36% respectively.

Among them, the largest buyer of flaxseed is China, accounting for more than half of Russia's exports. At the same time, China is also the main buyer of Russian linseed oil, accounting for about 42% of the volume. In 2022, China imported about 15,000 tons of Russian linseed oil, an increase of 3.7% over 2021. In addition to China, the top five importers of Russian linseed oil also include Turkey, Lithuania, Belgium and Norway, and the top five importers of Russian linseed also include Belgium, Turkey, Latvia and Poland.

According to the Russian Federal Center, the further development of Russian linseed production will increase the export potential of these products to 1.7 million tons. By the end of 2023, Russian linseed accounts for more than half of the world's exports. "This year, as demand growth resumed, Russian farmers began to increase the acreage.

According to the Russian Union of Oils and Fats, the flaxseed harvest could exceed 1.36 million tons. This is less than in 2022, but already 200,000 tons more than in the past. Most flaxseed is exported as raw materials. Today, the export volume of processed flaxseed products is negligible compared to the export volume of raw materials. From July 1, 2024, the EU imposed a 50% tariff on imported linseed oil and linseed meal, which effectively hindered the supply of finished products in Russia. At the same time, the EU imposed a 10% import tariff on linseed, which stimulated the purchase of raw materials.

In the processing of linseed, our grain cleaning machine must be used. Or it is called, flaxeed cleaning machine. This is a complete set of machines. Generally speaking, it needs to include 5XFZ-25S air ekran cleaner with gravity table, 5QS-10 destoner , 5XZ-8 Gravity separator machines, etc. After processing with these machines, the flaxseed factory can get very high purity flaxseed. And this has led Russian customers to buy a lot of machines from our company.

These relaxations on flaxseed were lobbied by Belgium, one of the main buyers of Russian raw materials, in fact the only processor in the EU, and the world leader in the export of flaxseed oil and flaxseed meal. In recent years, Russia is implementing a number of investment projects aimed at processing flaxseed, with an eye on the EU and Chinese markets.

Taking into account the introduction of protective tariffs in the EU, the export geography of flaxseed oil and flaxseed meal will change, mainly due to the increase in its market share in China. It is also possible to expand the supply range to other countries in the Asian region and the Middle East, where there is currently a high demand for health products. Flaxseed oil is positioned not only as a useful product in the food industry, but is also widely used in the production of cosmetics, aquatic feed, medicines and dietary supplements. So for Russia, Asia and the Middle East are the development direction of flaxseed oil exports.
