Urea price trends across China on June 23 Author/Source: Yuege Agri-Materials Website Date: 2020-06-23 Clicks: 14 Urea prices in China remained weak; in Liaoning, prices dropped by 40 yuan per ton in some areas, in Hebei by 20–50 yuan per ton, in Shandong by 10–50 yuan per ton in some areas, in Henan by 10–20 yuan per ton in some areas, in Anhui by 10 yuan per ton in some areas, in Shanxi by 10–20 yuan per ton in some areas, in Shaanxi by 50 yuan per ton in certain areas, in Sichuan by 20 yuan per ton in some areas, and in Inner Mongolia by 20–50 yuan per ton in some areas. Demand from the agricultural sector is weak; there is little expectation of an increase in the operating capacity of downstream compound fertilizer manufacturers and plywood factories in the short term. The announcement of pricing will be delayed, and a cautious attitude prevails in the downstream market. It is expected that the domestic urea market will remain weak in the short term. Urea prices in the main production areas: In Shandong, the ex-factory price for small and medium-sized granules is 1,580–1,650 yuan per ton; in Hebei, the ex-factory price for small granules is around 1,600–1,660 yuan per ton, while that for large granules is about 1,680 yuan per ton.
