Urea price trends across China on November 6 Author/Source: Yuege Agri-Materials Network Date: 2019-11-06 Clicks: 275 The domestic urea market continued to show a weak trend, with little activity in trading; overall prices kept falling. Although there have been maintenance activities by some companies and a decline in production rates recently, the actual demand from downstream sectors remains limited. Agricultural demand is low due to the off-season, and downstream industries have seen stalled purchasing activities as a result of environmental regulations restricting production. Urine fertilizer manufacturers are affected by weak demand, resulting in average sales performance; dealers are highly cautious, and the overall attitude remains one of wait-and-see. It is expected that the domestic urine fertilizer market will experience only slight fluctuations in the short term. Hualu Hengsheng’s medium-sized particles are priced at 1660 (stable); Hebei Dongguang’s small-sized particles are priced at 1670 (a decrease of 10); Henan Zhongyuan Dahua’s particles are priced at 1680 (stable), while Shanxi Fengxi’s particles are priced at 1560 (a decrease of 20). Jiangsu Linggu’s particles are priced at 1730 (stable), Anhui Haoyuan’s particles are priced between 1680 and 1720 (a decrease of 20). Inner Mongolia Boda’s particles are priced at 1470 (stable), Shaanxi Shanhua’s particles are priced between 1540 and 1650 (stable), and Xinjiang Yankuang’s particles are priced at 1400 (stable). The enthusiasm for purchasing downstream is moderate. In the agricultural sector, composite fertilizer manufacturers are operating at low capacity; the autumn plowing season has passed, and there are only occasional additional orders in this industry. In the industrial sector, rubber sheet manufacturers make purchases as needed, while intermediaries remain cautious. The focus of market transactions is gradually shifting toward the lower end; manufacturers will likely continue to work off their inventory, and urea prices are expected to remain stable at low levels in the coming period.
