In many places, during the spring ploughing and sowing season, farmers have to ask, will it rise again in April?
Urea 1 month increased by 350-400 yuan/ton.
Looking at the trend of urea in March, from the beginning of the month to the end of the month, the overall trend is on the rise.
The price of urea in many places rose by 350-400 yuan/ton.
At the beginning of March, the price of urea was around 2550-2650 yuan/ton, and by the end of March, the price of urea had reached 2950-3000 yuan/ton.
Although the price of urea did not rise sharply in April, the increase of 20-50 yuan per ton still existed in some areas.
According to the latest urea quotations in the market (the quotations of mainstream small and medium-sized plants are for reference only), Shandong offers 2880-2930 yuan/ton, Anhui 2930-2950 yuan/ton, Henan 2900-2920 yuan/ton, Hebei 2900-2920 yuan/ton, Hubei 2950 yuan/ton, Heilongjiang 3000 yuan/ton.
Will the price of urea continue to rise in April? Judging from the current factors, it is unlikely that the price of urea will rise sharply in April. However, it is difficult to see a sharp decline, and it is expected that there will be room for a slight increase.
On the demand side, April is the peak season for planting spring-sown crops in many places in the north, and the demand for urea only increases. Although compound fertilizer is mostly used as base fertilizer, urea is one of the raw materials of compound fertilizer, and the demand for compound fertilizer is large, which shows that the demand for urea is not small.
In terms of transportation, at present, some areas are affected by regulation and the traffic is not very smooth. Coupled with the continuous rise in oil prices, it is also a factor leading to the increase in urea prices.
However, raw materials have not fallen since the end of last year, and have risen in the middle. In the case of rising raw materials, it is unlikely that urea prices will fall.
The price of compound fertilizer has risen to a very high level.
After entering April, the compound fertilizer market is not only the peak of spring ploughing in the north, but also the initial stage of fertilizer preparation in summer. Many dealers have begun to prepare fertilizer for summer, and the speed and quantity of replenishment have gradually increased.
Inquire about the latest quotation of compound fertilizer in the market (for reference only). The ex-factory price of 45% sulfur-based compound fertilizer (III 15) in mainstream areas is about 3,550-3,650 yuan/ton, and that of 45% chlorine-based compound fertilizer (III 15) is about 3150-3,250 yuan/ton.
In addition, the ex-factory prices of 40% (20-8- 12) in Hunan, 48%(3 16) in Liaoning and 40%(30-5-5) in Shandong are around 3,750 yuan/ton.
As far as demand is concerned, as mentioned above, April is not only the time for crops to use fertilizer in spring, but also the time for preparing fertilizer in summer. Therefore, there is a great demand for compound fertilizer in the market.
From the perspective of upstream enterprises, due to the high cost of raw materials and unsatisfactory delivery at the grassroots level, the operating rate in some areas has declined, and dealers are watching and farmers are watching.
It is expected that it will be more difficult for the price of compound fertilizer to plummet in April, and there is still room for a slight increase. However, at present, the price of compound fertilizer is at a high level, and it is difficult to continue to skyrocket. It will probably be stable, and some areas will increase by tens of yuan per ton.
Diammonium phosphate maintains high operation.
In recent months, the price of diammonium phosphate has been running at a high level. After entering April, there was neither a big rise nor a big drop, which was basically stable, but the stable price was relatively high.
Inquiring about the latest diammonium price in the market (for reference only), the mainstream ex-factory price of 64% diammonium in Hubei is around 3600-3650 yuan/ton, and that of 64% diammonium in Liaoning is around 3950 yuan/ton.
As the main raw materials of diammonium, the price of sulfur, synthetic ammonia and phosphate rock not only does not fall but rises, which directly determines the price trend of diammonium.
It is expected that the price of diammonium will not change much in April, and a small increase or decrease is a normal phenomenon in the market, and the overall price is high.
On the whole, after entering April, the prices of urea, diammonium and compound fertilizer are relatively high. It is expected that during April, there is little possibility of a big rise or a big drop, and there is a great possibility of a small increase. Generally speaking, the prices of urea, diammonium and compound fertilizer are relatively high.
