According to a comprehensive report from an authoritative department: Throughout the month of March, the market for compound fertilizers can be seen. At the beginning of the month, the market demand for compound fertilizers has picked up. The progress of preparing fertilizer for rice and some cash crops in the south has accelerated. only a drop in the bucket, the demand for compound fertilizer in other regions started slowly. As the fertilizer preparation heat in the south has gone from bad to worse, the overall price of compound fertilizer has fallen steadily or has declined steadily. The execution of most companies' pre-orders is nearing completion and the growth of new orders has slowed , Some large companies in Shandong and other places have gradually increased inventory pressure, and there are now plans to suspend and restrict production. The raw materials purchased by the compound fertilizer companies before the Spring Festival are consumed slowly this month, and there are still some stocks. Companies in individual regions have sold raw materials. It can be seen that the compound fertilizer companies paid relatively little attention to the raw materials this month.
Monoammonium: The monoammonium market is not ideal. The price decline accelerated in March, and promotional policies such as guarantees were frequently introduced. In the case of large supply, demand was weak. Before the Spring Festival, compound fertilizer companies purchased large stocks of raw materials for monoammonium, plus their own finished products. There is a lot of inventory. After the Spring Festival, inventory is mainly consumed, and new orders are progressing slowly. It is understood that the raw material monoammonium inventory of compound fertilizer companies in Shandong, Hebei and other places is large, ranging from nearly 10,000 tons to nearly 100,000 tons. Therefore, in the short term, the purchase of monoammonium is not large, and it is next to the high-nitrogen fertilizer market. , The monoammonium market in April is also hard to pick up.
Potash fertilizer: This month, the price of potash fertilizer has experienced falling prices of imported potash fertilizer, and the prices of domestic salt lake potassium chloride and Lop Nur potassium sulfate have risen. The market situation is not good, and the price of potassium chloride in border trade continues to fall. After the price adjustment of salt lake potassium chloride, the price has not really increased. The sales price of various agents through rebates is relatively low; the price of Lop Nur potassium sulfate is acceptable, and the agent will act after the price increase Although the sales price is upside down, the magnitude of the upside down has gradually decreased recently. Compound fertilizer companies are not paying much attention to potash fertilizer. In addition to the recent sluggish market for imported potassium chloride, especially potassium chloride in border trade, the purchase volume of compound fertilizer companies should not be large. Relatively speaking, Shandong, Sichuan, Henan and other places mainly focus on domestic products. Salt lakes have more potassium chloride.
To sum up, throughout March, compound fertilizer companies did not purchase much raw materials, and their own inventory was mainly consumed. After mid-April, purchases will gradually resume, but the amount should be small, so be cautious.
