Flaxseed Meal Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
The United States paid the most for flaxseed meal in Q3 2026: USD 560/MT, up 1.4% from USD 552/MT in Q2. Import costs, high labor costs and steady demand from health food and supplement makers keep American prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average rose 1.3% to USD 462/MT from USD 456/MT, mostly because higher flaxseed and freight costs and firm demand from feed, food and supplement makers led crushers and importers to raise prices in all four markets. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 450-485/MT range, with flaxseed crop results in Canada and Russia, demand from feed and health food makers and freight costs doing most of the work.
Flaxseed meal is the ground press cake left after oil is pressed from flaxseed, or ground whole seed. It is high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids and is used in feed, bakery, cereals, supplements and plant-based foods. Prices in this report refer to ground flaxseed meal in bulk bags and are quoted per metric ton. They depend on flaxseed prices and demand from feed and health food makers.
Canada, Russia, Kazakhstan and China grow most of the world flaxseed. Crushers press the seed for oil and sell the press cake as feed or grind it into meal for food. Food grade meal is cleaned and ground under controlled conditions, so it sells at a premium to feed grade. Europe and the United States import meal and seed for health food use.
Flaxseed Meal Price Forecast for 2026
Prices should rise modestly through the rest of 2026. Flaxseed costs are firm and demand from health food makers is steady. Large crush volumes in Russia limit the size of the increase. The Q3 2026 global average of USD 462/MT is 4.1% above the USD 444/MT of Q3 2025.
Risks to the Q4 outlook lean in both directions, with no clear bias. What could push prices higher? Poor flax crops, higher freight costs or stronger demand from health food makers would lift prices. What could pull them lower? Larger crops, lower freight costs or weaker demand from feed makers would lower prices.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 450 - 485 | Firm flaxseed costs support a modest rise |
| Russia | 350 - 380 | Large crush volumes keep prices lowest |
| Canada | 400 - 435 | Export demand supports prices |
| Germany | 505 - 550 | Import costs and food grade demand support prices |
| United States | 545 - 590 | Import costs and health food demand keep prices highest |
