Compound fertilizer market situation and price summary post in January 2017

Compound fertilizer prices may rise slightly in winter Author/Source: Anhui Daily Rural Edition Date: 2017-01-04 Click rate: 15 In previous years, the compound fertilizer production and winter storage period started at the end of the year, but this year almost all dealers are waiting and watching. The mainstream ex-factory price of 45% chlorine-based compound fertilizer for winter storage is tentatively set at 1,700 to 1,850 yuan (ton price), and the ex-factory price of 45% sulfur-based compound fertilizer is 1,900 to 2,100 yuan. Industry insiders believe that there is a strong bullish atmosphere for the upstream raw materials of compound fertilizers, coupled with the heavy pressure on environmental inspections and transportation, the operating rate may decline in the later period. It is expected that the quotations for winter storage of compound fertilizers will still have upward potential in the short term, but the price increase will not be significant. 　　It is understood that the second batch of central environmental protection inspection work was fully launched in early December. The operating rate of the inspected installations in Hebei, Henan, Hubei and other places dropped significantly, and the overall operating rate of the enterprises was only 57%. 　　“Hubei is the main compound fertilizer production area, accounting for about 15% of the country's total output. Generally speaking, December is the peak season for winter fertilizer storage. In order to ensure the fertilizer for spring plowing, compound fertilizer companies run their devices at high loads. However, this year, the operating load of major enterprises' installations has dropped to varying degrees, and many enterprises' installations have even completely stopped. ”Deng Zhongming, a researcher at the Heavy Chemical Industry Division of the Hubei Provincial Commission of Economy and Information Technology, said that not only has Hubei's compound fertilizer production been hindered, but also large companies in other places have been exposed for environmental reasons. Small and medium-sized enterprises that cannot meet environmental protection requirements have stopped, and the overall operating rate of the industry has declined. 　　In addition, air pollution has become serious in some areas recently, and emergency response has been launched in many places. Compound fertilizer companies in Hebei, Henan and other places have insufficient start-up of equipment, some companies have stopped, and the later start-up time is to be determined, and the remaining inventory of finished products is not large. 　　Not only that, due to the impact of tight transportation, the supply of raw materials is blocked. Compound fertilizer companies are waiting for rice to be ready, and local supply is tight. Since the implementation of the "Regulations on Highway Management of Over-limit Transport Vehicles" on September 21, car freight has increased, and enterprise transportation costs have increased by 30 to 60 yuan. After October, some railway bureaus also canceled preferential freight rates for fertilizers, and railway freight rates increased. 　　“The increased pressure on environmental protection inspections and transportation this year has given compound fertilizer companies a short respite and a wait-and-see opportunity, and also provided a preparation period for the later introduction of new winter storage quotations and policies. ”Wang Heng, general manager of an agricultural science and technology company in Henan, said that based on the current raw material market, operating rate and transportation situation, there is still room for upward growth in compound fertilizer quotations. 　　Entering December, raw material prices have risen significantly, compound fertilizer companies have increased pressure on raw materials, and their quotations have increased significantly. However, the current downstream acceptance of high quotations is not high, compound fertilizer winter storage and collection has entered a short "cold winter", and the low operating rate of enterprises has eased the pressure on shipments. 　　“In order to ease the mood of downstream dealers, compound fertilizer manufacturers mostly adopt a non-priced sales model and implement preferential policies such as interest-based payments, rebates for delivery, and storage fee subsidies to encourage dealers to purchase goods. Considering that transportation will be tight before and after the Spring Festival, dealers are also willing to replenish a small amount of goods, which has restored confidence to compound fertilizer manufacturers. ”said Wang Jianguo, general manager of a compound fertilizer company in Shandong. 　　At present, most compound fertilizer companies still maintain a rational attitude and adjust the winter storage price of compound fertilizer at any time as downstream demand and raw material prices change. At the same time, the industry believes that compound fertilizer companies should remain calm in the face of the recent foggy fertilizer market. “After this period of adjustment, the compound fertilizer market has gradually entered the digestion stage. It is expected that the wait-and-see atmosphere in the short-term market will continue, and the market may be 'largely stable but slightly volatile'. Except for some low-end price increases, mainstream compound fertilizer prices may stabilize. ”Wang Jianguo said. 　　Industry insiders believe that as environmental protection efforts increase, the operating rate of compound fertilizers may decline in the later period. Grain prices are on the low side, and the wait-and-see attitude of downstream companies persists. The recent sharp increase in raw material prices is closely related to policies. In the chaotic market, dealers should remain rational and not blindly chase the rise. (Chuan Wu)

Sichuan phosphate ore market is stable. Author/source: date: 2017-01-05 Click rate: 20 The Sichuan phosphate ore market is stable. As the Spring Festival approaches, most mines have stopped mining, and dealers are unstable in getting goods. Mining companies mainly maintain old customers. The actual transaction volume has not changed much, and the overall market trading is stable. The pit price of 27% grade phosphate rock in Leibo area is 190 yuan/ton including tax, and the pit price of 28% grade phosphate rock is 220 yuan/ton. ； The county delivery price (tax included) of 26% grade phosphate ore in Mabian is 190 yuan per ton, the county delivery price (tax included) of 27% grade phosphate ore is 210 yuan/ton, the county delivery price of 28% grade phosphate rock is 230 yuan/ton, and some mining companies send 28% grade ore to Hubei for 355 yuan/ton. The phosphate rock market in Sichuan is expected to continue its stable trend in the short term. 　　The Haohua Qingping Phosphate Mine in Deyang, Sichuan, supplies phosphate ore with a quality of 28% or above. The phosphate mine is currently in normal production and mainly supplies monoammonium for self-use and the downstream areas around Deyang. The price of the 30% quality raw ore at the pit mouth in the early stage is 340-350 yuan/ton. There is no new quotation yet, and the transaction price is mainly negotiated. (China Business Network)

Anyway, I really can’t understand the story behind compound fertilizer, and phosphogypsum is going to be taxed! :victory::victory:

At the beginning of the new year, do you want to make purchases quickly? The diammonium market faces a choice! Author/Source: Agricultural Materials Herald Date: 2017-01-04 Click rate: 28 Recently, the cost of raw materials has stabilized at a high level, the preferential railway freight rate for fertilizers will be cancelled, the RMB exchange rate has depreciated, and the arrival price has increased significantly compared with the previous period. Under various favorable conditions, companies have a strong atmosphere to increase diammonium. According to the current national corporate orders, the entire winter storage quantity has been 1/3 in the corporate sales process. Diammonium has changed from a buyer's market in the early stage to a seller's market controlled by companies now. The downstream market has to make choices on the purchase of diammonium at this time.: It is to suspend purchasing, and in the later period, high prices will be high and high prices will be high, low prices will be low and low prices will be released, and we will wait and see from the sidelines of the current market.: Or should we hurry up and purchase while the price has not yet reached its peak? At the beginning of the new year, which method to choose mainly depends on the needs of the region and the changing market rules. 　　Diammonium prices still have room to rise. After New Year's Day, compared with before, market conditions in various places have gradually stabilized. Relevant people predict that there is still room for slight growth in diammonium prices in the coming period. The mainstream price of 64% diammonium in Heilongjiang is 2550-2800 yuan/ton, and the mainstream price in Xinjiang is 2550-2600 yuan/ton. Some companies in Hubei have suspended taking orders and are not quoting prices for the time being. The mainstream ex-factory price of 64% of diammonium is 2,200 yuan/ton. Companies mainly execute early orders, and there are not many new orders. Southwest diammonium manufacturers have started operations smoothly, and winter storage and shipments are in progress. Most orders can be maintained until next month. The tentative price of 64% diammonium in Heilongjiang is 2550-2600 yuan/ton. There are not many construction starts in other areas, and parking companies still have no plans to start operations in the early stage. The mainstream ex-factory price of 57% diammonium in Shandong is 2,000 yuan/ton. In terms of raw materials, at present, the market for diammonium raw materials is mainly stable. The sulfur inventory in my country's major ports is 1.46 million tons, and the reference price of bulk particles at the Yangtze River port is 890-895 yuan/ton. ； The phosphate ore market is mainly stable, and some phosphate ore companies have begun to plan to stop mining, and the start-up will be lower in the future. ； China's liquid ammonia market partially rises ； The spot supply of compound fertilizers is tight, and some companies have suspended payment quotations and mainly issued early orders. 　　There is a strong wait-and-see atmosphere in the downstream market in terms of exports: The current winter storage, environmental protection control, and continued tightness of railway transportation capacity have led to temporary shortages of domestic phosphate fertilizers, and domestic prices have soared. This has caused the market to focus on the domestic market, and the international and domestic markets have developed unilaterally. China's phosphate fertilizer market, which is still in the period of intensive winter storage and shipment, has received a mediocre response to the tariff policy. Moreover, for phosphate fertilizer manufacturers that have already been waiting for orders until after the year, this policy has very limited help on the price level. As international demand continues to emerge, and considering that new international deployment devices have not yet concentrated on large-scale production, there is a high probability that China's phosphate fertilizer exports will increase year-on-year in the short term. However, if the long-term development continues, and combined with the above, it will be difficult for my country's phosphate fertilizer exports to ensure "both quantity and price". 　　Authoritative sources predict that market supply may be tight this year. The main reason is that diammonium companies have suffered serious losses this year and have relatively little liquidity. Secondly, environmental inspections have been stricter this year, and it is still unknown whether they can produce normally in the future. Even if downstream demand is urgent, diammonium companies are still struggling to make ends meet. In short, overall, the price of raw materials is high, export tariffs are cancelled, production starts are reduced, and the prices of other fertilizer varieties are also rising. There are many positive factors in the near future, supporting the high quotation of diammonium, but the downstream enthusiasm for purchasing goods is not high, and it will take some time to accept the new price. It is expected that the stalemate among manufacturers will continue to maintain the status quo in the short term, and the transaction price will slowly move closer to the quoted price in the later period.

Winter fertilizer reserves slowly heat up and diammonium phosphate continues to rise. Author/source: China Agricultural Materials Herald Network Date: 2017-01-05 Click rate: 27 Last week (December 26-December 30), the price of diammonium phosphate continued to rise. On January 3, China’s diammonium phosphate wholesale price index (CPPI) was 2578.50 points, an increase of 14.52 points or 0.57% from the previous month. ； A year-on-year decrease of 375.09 points, a decrease of 12.70% ； It dropped 643.27 points from the base period, a decrease of 19.97%. On January 3, China’s diammonium phosphate retail price index (CPRI) was 2775.62 points, an increase of 38.95 points month-on-month, an increase of 1.42% ； A year-on-year decrease of 366.33 points, a decrease of 11.66% ； It fell 599.30 points from the base period, a decrease of 17.76%. 　　supply situation: The quotations of diammonium companies are stable at a high level, and the main force is to execute advance receipt orders. The current arrival volume in the market is sparse, and the main force is to execute advance receipt orders, and new order transactions are basically at a standstill. Arrivals in the current market last week were sparse. Hubei's environmental inspection has basically ended. The operating rate of ammonium companies continued to rebound last Tuesday. The average operating rate of domestic diammonium companies was about 51.03%, an increase of 4.63% from the previous week. In terms of the raw material market, the domestic sulfur market is still showing a stable consolidation trend. The domestic phosphate ore market is stable and the cost of raw materials remains high, which provides certain support for costs. 　　demand situation: Winter fertilizer reserves continue to advance, domestic downstream procurement is acceptable, companies have large advance receipts, and a few dealers in some areas are still waiting and watching. The announcement of the tariff policy has little impact on the diammonium market. International demand is light, there is pressure on diammonium prices to rise, and companies are under great pressure to export. 　　international market: International demand is light. Affected by Christmas and New Year, international diammonium phosphate market transactions have basically stagnated. 　　domestic market: According to the association's monitoring data, the prices of diammonium phosphate in the 20 monitored provinces last week increased more than decreased. Among them, prices in seven provinces including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, and Gansu all increased, ranging from 50 to 163 yuan/ton. The province with the largest increase was Henan. ； Prices in Hubei and Xinjiang fell by 9-42 yuan/ton ； Prices in the remaining provinces remained stable. 　　The winter fertilizer reserves are slowly heating up, and the diammonium market maintains a tight supply and rising price trend. Enterprise quotations remain high, but there is no real order support, and the quotations are slightly artificially high. With the Spring Festival travel season unfolding on a large scale, the tension in diammonium shipments will further intensify in the later period, and it is difficult for the market arrival volume to increase significantly before the year. It is expected that the ammonium market will still be dominated by shipments next Tuesday, and there is no expectation of price adjustment. (Gao Hongwei)

Phosphate rock monthly review: The market price has not fluctuated yet. Author/source: date: 2017-01-05 Click rate: 26 1. Overview of Domestic Phosphate Ore Market The domestic phosphate ore market operated smoothly in December. Mining companies received orders in general, with few new orders and mostly sporadic small orders. Some companies have stopped production for maintenance, but most companies have relatively sufficient early inventory and are mainly digesting inventory, so market prices have not fluctuated for the time being. 　　Situation of main phosphate ore producing areas in December: The freight yard price (including tax) of 28% grade phosphate rock at Shimachangping Railway Station in Fuquan and Weng'an areas is 285 yuan/ton, and the freight yard price (tax included) of 30% grade phosphate rock at Shimachangping Railway Station is 315 yuan/ton. The price of 30% grade phosphate rock in Guiyang is 300 yuan/ton. The pit price of 20% grade phosphate rock in Hubei is 100-110 yuan/ton, the delivery price of 28% grade phosphate rock is about 340-350 yuan/ton, the delivery price of 29% grade phosphate rock is 370 yuan/ton, and the delivery price of 30% grade phosphate rock is 400 yuan/ton. The pit price of 27% grade phosphate rock in Leibo area is 190 yuan/ton including tax, and the pit price of 28% grade phosphate rock is 220 yuan/ton. ； The county delivery price (including tax) of Mabian 26% grade phosphate ore is 190 yuan per ton, the county delivery price (tax included) of 27% grade phosphate ore is 210 yuan/ton, the county delivery price of 28% grade phosphate ore is 230 yuan/ton, and some mining companies ship 28% grade ore to Hubei for 355 yuan/ton. In Yunnan, the truck plate price of 22%-23% grade phosphate ore is 230 yuan/ton including tax, the pit price of 28% grade phosphate ore is 280-300 yuan/ton, the pit price of 29% grade phosphate ore is 340-350 yuan/ton, and the pit price of 30% grade phosphate ore (excluding tax) is 420 yuan/ton. 　　2. Forecast of the market outlook. At present, the overall operation of phosphate ore enterprises is declining, and the mining volume is declining, but the inventory is relatively abundant. The downstream yellow phosphorus market is weakly advancing, the export situation is not good, the demand for phosphate ore is weak, and there is no good news released in the market. It is expected that the phosphate ore market will be in the later period. * * operation, the price of phosphate rock will not fluctuate much. (China Business Network)

Compound fertilizer gets off to a good start in 2017 Author/Source: China Fertilizer Network Date: 2017-01-06 Click rate: 26 After New Year's Day, 2017 has quietly arrived, with a new atmosphere and a good start to the new year. The quotations of compound fertilizers have been rising all the way. The quotations of most compound fertilizer companies in Shandong, Lianghe, Lianghu and Anhui have risen step by step, and each increase has been around 50-100 yuan/ton. According to a survey by China Fertilizer Network, it was found that in the early days, the quotations of compound fertilizers increased by a small amount in almost three days and changed significantly in seven days. So, why is the price of compound fertilizer rising so fiercely? 　　First of all, the prices of raw materials are rising like crazy, followed closely by compound fertilizers. Since August 2016, the price of coal has risen, and the price of urea has rebounded. The quotations of potassium fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer have also increased. On the basis of the low price of 1,130 yuan/ton, small particle urea has continued to rise to the current 1,660 yuan/ton, an increase of 530 yuan/ton. ； The price of 55% powdered monoammonium phosphate has also increased from a low price of 1,550 yuan/ton to 2,000 yuan/ton, an increase of 450 yuan/ton. ； The self-pickup quotation of 60% red potassium at the port has increased from 1,680 yuan/ton to 2,000 yuan/ton, an increase of up to 320 yuan/ton. For general-purpose compound fertilizers, the overall increase in raw materials has reached more than 400 yuan/ton. However, the increase in compound fertilizers has been relatively slow. Three months after the price increase of raw materials, the compound fertilizer price increased by more than 400 yuan/ton. Hefei's quotations only entered the real price increase stage in November 2016, and each time they increased tentatively, paying close attention to the downstream acceptance. However, in 2017, the increase in compound fertilizer prices began to slow down, with low prices rising slightly, but most companies are holding steady and waiting. 　　Secondly, enterprises are under-operating, shipping is tight, and supply is tight. In the winter of 2016, many provinces across the country encountered widespread foggy weather. * * Environmental protection efforts have intensified, and environmental inspection teams have been stationed in many provinces. Compound fertilizer companies have encountered the most stringent environmental investigations in history, especially in places such as Hebei, Hubei, and Shandong. Some companies with unqualified environmental protection equipment will face long-term parking. In the early stage, the overall operating rate of compound fertilizer companies hovered around 50%, and it was even lower in some areas. , and raw material prices fluctuated frequently in 2016, and most compound fertilizer companies have insufficient inventories. Most of the low-priced raw materials in the early period have been used before New Year's Day. Therefore, the quotation of compound fertilizer in the later period will fluctuate with the fluctuation of raw material prices. However, due to the light downstream demand, the quotation of compound fertilizer may be stable in the short term. However, as the Spring Festival approaches and freight rates are adjusted in the early stage, freight is tight, and freight trains are hard to come by in some areas. 　　Finally, will compound fertilizer prices continue to rise? There will be many members calling for consultation in the near future.: Can the price of compound fertilizers rise further? Is it a good time to get the goods? In October 2016, the editor suggested that everyone prepare a small amount of fertilizer and pay close attention to the price trend of the China Fertilizer Network. However, most dealers said that the funds had not been withdrawn in October, and many were not optimistic about the market outlook or lacked confidence. Therefore, most dealers did not prepare enough fertilizer. Not much. Before New Year's Day, the price of chemical fertilizers went up like crazy, and after New Year's Day, the price started to slow down. However, based on the current price of raw materials, the start of fertilizer market, and the transportation situation, these factors cannot be fully digested in the short term, so the quotation of compound fertilizer will still be high and strong in the short term. 　　Generally speaking, compared with the market situation of compound fertilizers in early 2016, the market situation of compound fertilizers in 2017 is improving. Although grain prices are low and downstream enthusiasm for fertilizer preparation is not high, the "good start" in prices has brought new hope to compound fertilizers. It is hoped that the spring market of compound fertilizers in 2017 will usher in a "double happiness" in terms of price and demand. (Yang Xiaomei)

Compound fertilizer: Production cost support quotations continue to increase Author/Source: date: 2017-01-06 Click rate: 29 On January 5, the ex-factory quotations of compound fertilizer companies have continued to rise recently, and the follow-up of new orders has been poor. Yesterday, Xinjiang Luo Potassium raised the price again by 100 yuan/ton. At the same time, Qinghai Potash Fertilizer stated that it is more likely to be bullish in the future. The raw material market is still on the rise. The production cost of compound fertilizer has increased significantly. The profit value of some proportions is basically close to zero, and the ex-factory quotation is under great pressure. On the contrary, downstream dealers find it difficult to accept the "rising market" for a while, are less enthusiastic about making funds to prepare fertilizer, and have great resistance in the circulation link. According to Zhuo Chuang, the mainstream ex-factory price of 45% S (15-15-15) in Anhui is 1980-2150 yuan/ton. ； Hubei area 45%S (15-15-15) factory reference 2000-2160 yuan/ton ； The ex-factory price of 45% S (15-15-15) in Shandong is 2100-2560 yuan/ton, and the ex-factory price of 45% CL (15-15-15) is 1800-2000 yuan/ton. ； The ex-factory quotation of 45% CL (15-15-15) in Jiangsu is 1,800-1,960 yuan/ton, and the ex-factory quotation of 45% S (15-15-15) is 1,950-2,100 yuan/ton. 　　At present, the contradiction between production and sales in the compound fertilizer market is prominent. Enterprises continue to raise prices, while wholesale prices at the grassroots level have only slightly followed suit. Dealers are at great risk in preparing fertilizers and have a heavy wait-and-see attitude. The volume of new orders by enterprises has significantly reduced. Due to cost support, Zhuochuang predicts that the quotations of compound fertilizer companies will continue to increase in the short term. (Zhuochuang Information)

The raw material market is mixed, and the price of yellow phosphorus continues to decline. Author/Source: date: 2017-01-06 Click rate: 26 Yellow phosphorus prices continue to decline Last week, domestic yellow phosphorus prices continued to decline slightly, and the operating rates of yellow phosphorus companies in some regions were reduced. Recently, the price of yellow phosphorus is still high and low, with actual transaction prices consolidating weakly, with a range of 100 to 200 yuan (in tons, the same below). The main reason is that downstream demand has not improved, manifested by weak demand and procurement wait-and-see. Yellow phosphorus companies are slow to sell goods, and some companies are under inventory and financial pressure. In the later stage, they may need to sacrifice prices to attract orders. Yellow phosphorus prices may still decline in the future. 　　Last week, the transaction atmosphere in the Yunnan yellow phosphorus market was light. Although some companies have plans to start construction, they are now facing difficulties in implementation. The current local mainstream transaction price of yellow phosphorus is 14,200 to 14,500 yuan. Due to poor downstream demand, yellow phosphorus prices will weaken, and cost pressures on companies will increase. Some companies have plans to reduce production. 　　Last week, Guizhou yellow phosphorus market prices consolidated weakly, spot supply decreased, and the mainstream transaction price was between 14,200 and 14,400 yuan. Due to environmental protection and security inspection restrictions on ore and electricity, some companies have begun to reduce load production, which has alleviated supply and demand pressure to a certain extent. Yellow phosphorus companies mainly place early orders and receive orders in limited quantities. On the one hand, the start of production is reduced, and companies are willing to raise prices. On the other hand, electricity prices are rising, production costs are rising, and companies are cautious in accepting orders. Last week, the transaction price of Sichuan yellow phosphorus market stabilized, with the mainstream transaction price ranging from 14,500 to 14,700 yuan. There is room for negotiation on the actual transaction price. Enterprises in the province still have plans to suspend production for maintenance, which has eased the contradiction between market supply and demand. Prices are expected to continue to run smoothly in the later period. Last week, the spot supply of Hubei yellow phosphorus market was still at a low level. The mainstream transaction price was between 14,700 and 14,900 yuan. The mood of downstream receiving goods was not high, and the wait-and-see situation continued. 　　Sulfuric acid market rose partially Last week, the domestic sulfuric acid market rose partially, and the price trend was unbalanced. The mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Hunan, Guangdong, Guizhou, Shaanxi and other places has been increased by 30 to 50 yuan. The sharp increase in the price of electrolytic manganese in the second half of 2016 brought benefits to sulfuric acid shipments, and the increase in the price of downstream products drove the price of raw materials to rise at the same time. The weak situation in the northern sulfuric acid market remains. Whether prices can stabilize next month depends on the growth of corporate inventories. The possibility of some companies cutting prices and reducing pressure due to inventory clearance cannot be ruled out. 　　The transaction atmosphere in the Northeast sulfuric acid market is light and stable, and prices are running at low levels. The mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Liaoning is between 70 and 110 yuan. 　　The price of sulfuric acid in North China is at a low level. Enterprises in Hebei are concerned about the trend of the sulfuric acid market in the New Year. Transaction prices in the province are temporarily stable. 　　Sulfuric acid prices in East China are mainly consolidating, and sulfuric acid shipments in the province are showing signs of weakening. Some companies are already struggling with the price increase experienced in the middle of last month, and the spot market lacks new bright spots to support price stability. At present, the mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Jiangsu is 310-340 yuan, the transaction price of 98% acid in Zhejiang is 280-310 yuan, the transaction price of 98% acid in Anhui is 250-290 yuan, and the transaction price of 98% acid in Jiangxi is 180-270 yuan. The mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Shandong is 190 to 230 yuan, and the price may still decline in the future. 　　The price of sulfuric acid in central China has increased significantly in some areas. The price of sulfuric acid in Henan remained stable, the price of 98% acid in Hunan was raised, the market in Hubei was light and stable, and enterprise shipments were not ideal. The current transaction price of 98% acid mainstream in Henan is 130-180 yuan, the transaction price of 98% acid mainstream in Hubei is 280-310 yuan, and the transaction price of 98% acid mainstream in Hunan is 190-250 yuan. 　　Transaction prices in the South China sulfuric acid market are mainly light and stable, while prices in Guangdong are stable. Environmental inspections have led to general sales of sulfuric acid. The mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Guangxi has been increased by 30 yuan, and surrounding prices have risen simultaneously, so there is a high possibility of follow-up adjustments in the future. The mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Guangdong is 240-270 yuan, and the transaction price of 98% acid in Guangxi is 110-250 yuan. 　　The transaction prices in the southwest sulfuric acid market are mainly stable. The commissioning of the sulfuric acid plant of Chongqing Ziguang Chemical has been completed, and the standard sulfuric acid will soon be put into production. There will no longer be a shortage of spot goods in the province. After the supply price of sulfuric acid in Hunan and Guangxi increased, the transaction price of sulfuric acid in Guizhou increased accordingly. At present, the transaction price of 98% acid mainstream in Guangxi is 450-480 yuan, the transaction price of 98% acid mainstream in Guizhou is 330-360 yuan, and the transaction price of 98% acid mainstream in Yunnan is 360-420 yuan. 　　The ex-factory prices of some sulfuric acid manufacturers in the northwest region have been increased by 20 to 30 yuan. Strict local environmental inspections and advance maintenance of sulfuric acid plants have driven up prices. The current mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Shaanxi is 170 to 190 yuan, and the mainstream transaction price of 98% acid in Gansu is 100 to 160 yuan. 　　Liquid chlorine prices continue to fall Last week, domestic liquid chlorine prices continued to fall, quotations continued to be low, and the overall market price did not change significantly. The price reduction areas this time are mainly distributed in North China and Southwest China, and the market trends vary greatly. 　　The focus of transactions in North China, East China, and Southwest China continues to shift downwards, and the pressure on corporate shipments still exists, and downstream demand needs to improve.

Author/Source of Compound Fertilizer Market Weekly Report for the First Week of January: China Fertilizer Network Date: 2017-01-09 Click rate: 24 This week, the quotations of most compound fertilizer companies continued to rise, mainly companies in Shandong, Jiangsu, Lianghu, and Anhui. The quotations for winter storage in Northeast China are still unclear. The current tentative ex-factory quotation of some 45% cl (15:15:15) compound fertilizer for winter storage is around 1,800-1,980 yuan (ton price, the same below). The tentative ex-factory quotation of some 45% s (15:15:15) compound fertilizer for winter storage is around 2,050-2,150 yuan. The high-end quotation is around 2,350-2,400 yuan. The quotation of chlorine-based fertilizer has increased significantly this week, and the preferential policies of most companies have been cancelled. A series of factors such as rising raw material prices, increasing pressure on environmental protection, and vehicle tensions have not eased this week. At the same time, the price of raw material urea has rebounded sharply, causing the quotes of compound fertilizers to continue to rise this week, at around 50-100 yuan/ton. However, the new price has just been introduced, and downstream acceptance is limited. Most companies are still mainly issuing early orders. The shipments in the Northeast have improved slightly this week, but the winter storage quotations of most companies in the Northeast have not yet been released. It is expected to gradually become clear around mid-January. Affected by environmental inspections, the operating rate of a few compound fertilizer companies has declined, and some companies are still shutting down. Therefore, the overall operating rate of compound fertilizer has dropped slightly to about 62%. Raw material cost: Rain and snow weather in some areas of Shandong, Lianghe and Shanxi have slightly alleviated the fog, and the urea operating rate continues to be low. However, due to the rain, snow and fog, urea shipments are still not smooth, and the purchasing willingness of agriculture is low. Therefore, the mainstream ex-factory price of Shandong urea is temporarily stable at 1660-1670 yuan. ； The ammonium chloride quotations of individual companies in Jiangsu have increased slightly. The mainstream ex-factory quotations of wet ammonium are around 460-490 yuan, and the mainstream ex-factory quotations of dry ammonium are around 560-590 yuan. The transaction can be slightly lower. ； The mainstream ex-factory price of 55% powdered ammonium monoammonium in Southwest China is temporarily stable at around 2,000 yuan. Business owners have placed early orders and are still able to receive small quantities of orders. ； The quotation of Salt Lake potash fertilizer was increased by 30 yuan, and the agent's quotation for 60% powder and crystal supply reached 1,950 yuan. The agent's selling price was accordingly increased, and some sales were temporarily suspended. ； SDIC Luo Potassium raised the price of potassium sulfate by 100 yuan on January 4. The current price of 51% powder is 2,450 yuan, and the new product 52% powder is 2,500 yuan. The price of granules is increased by 150 yuan, and the acceptance price is increased by 40 yuan. Currently, production and transportation are good, with a daily output of about 6,000 tons. On the whole, the price of raw materials continues to rise, compound fertilizer companies have exhausted their use of low-priced raw materials, and the impact of strong cost support and environmental protection production restrictions has caused compound fertilizer quotations to rise again by 50-100 yuan. It is expected that the quotations of compound fertilizers will be high and strong in the short term. In the later market, we still need to pay close attention to the prices and start-up conditions of raw material companies. (Yang Xiaomei/Li Qingling)
