Although the northeast region will enter the corn sowing period, most farmers and distributors have completed the acquisition in the early stage. At present, it is only sporadic procurement, temporarily in the gap between base fertilizer and topdressing, and the overall transaction is weak.
In addition, due to the recent cooling of rainfall in North China and the slowdown in the production of mixed fertilizer plants, the current urea trade mainly focuses on supplying the demand of compound fertilizer plants and plywood plants. However, with the increasing demand for high nitrogen fertilizer, it is expected that the procurement of compound fertilizer plants will increase in the future.
On April 25th, urea prices in Hubei, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and other regions were stable, and other regions once again ushered in a "large-scale" decline, with the highest drop per ton 1.20 yuan. Please see the table below for details, for reference only!
Let's look at compound fertilizer again.
With the increase of fertilizer demand, the operating rate of compound fertilizer production has increased, but the overall market is still in a period of shock consolidation, and the price may stabilize. However, the possibility of further decline in the price of compound fertilizer is not ruled out.
At present, from the perspective of compound fertilizer market, the reference price of 45% sulfur-based compound fertilizer per ton is about 3 100-3 150 yuan; The mainstream reference price of 45% chlorine-based compound fertilizer per ton is about 2750-2850 yuan; The mainstream ex-factory reference price of 40% corn fertilizer is about 2450-2770 yuan/ton.
Let's look at phosphate fertilizer again.
The centralized purchasing period of diammonium phosphate in spring is coming to an end, the purchasing enthusiasm of downstream dealers is not high, and the overall market is weak. Fortunately, the price of raw materials has also dropped.
According to the market situation of diammonium phosphate, the mainstream ex-factory price of 64% diammonium phosphate is between 3800-4 150 yuan per ton. Among them, Hubei is about 3800-3820 yuan per ton; Jiangsu area is about 3950-4000 yuan per ton; Shandong is around 3900-3980 yuan; Heilongjiang is about 4050-4 150 yuan per ton.
In addition, the current market price of monoammonium phosphate is weak and continues to fall. According to the market on April 25th, the price per ton in some areas dropped by about 50-200 yuan. In fact, the ex-factory price of mainstream 55% powdered monoammonium phosphate per ton is between 2800-3 150 yuan; The ex-factory price of mainstream 58% powdered monoammonium phosphate is between 3200 and 3300 yuan per ton.
Finally, look at potash fertilizer.
At present, some areas have entered the sowing period of spring peanuts and spring corn. Especially in spring corn, potassium chloride is mainly used, and the demand for potassium sulfate is not high.
In addition, as the price of potassium chloride continues to fall and the demand weakens, the price of potassium sulfate continues to fall.
From the perspective of potassium sulfate market, the mainstream ex-factory price of 50% powdered potassium sulfate in Mannheim is about 3650 yuan/ton, and the mainstream ex-factory price of 52% powdered potassium sulfate is about 3650-3900 yuan/ton. The mainstream reference price of SDIC 52% powdered potassium sulfate is about 3650-3800 yuan per ton.
The potassium chloride market continued to decline, among which the arrival price of 60% potassium chloride powder crystals from Dachang fell by about 300 yuan per ton from last week to 3,200 yuan per ton; The 57% content of powdered potassium chloride in Qinghai small factory decreased to about 2400 yuan per ton; The mainstream reference price of 62% white potassium in the port is lowered to about 3225 yuan per ton; 60% of the port's deluge particles are raised by 25 yuan per ton, and the self-raising price has risen to about 3,275 yuan per ton; The 62% content of white potassium in border trade wagons is raised to 25 yuan per ton, and the mainstream price is about 2,900 yuan per ton.
