Why has the price of soda ash risen so rapidly?

Everything is getting more expensive nowadays; this is normal—it’s inflation
HaiYou posted it in the synthetic ammonia section; I believe it’s more appropriate to move it here!
In the first half of the year, it was only 1,300; now it’s nearly 3,000. I have no idea why it has risen so much.
It’s at an all-time high price right now; inflation, oh!
So, is it very profitable to produce soda ash nowadays?
It’s probably because several large soda ash plants have reduced or limited their production
What process is used to synthesize soda ash? Have the raw material prices gone up?

Later, I heard that it was because of **production limits imposed; apparently, companies were required to reduce their output to around 60% or 70% of their original levels. Currently, the price seems to be around 2,800 per ton, or even over 3,000.**
The situation is extremely favorable; our soda ash production system is also operating at full capacity. However, it remains to be seen whether this marks the beginning of a golden age for the chemical industry, or if it’s just a fleeting phenomenon
