Compound fertilizer: small quantity, difficult to digest inventory

The Year of the Monkey has arrived.
The sluggish fertilizer market before the holiday has made most people in the industry not aware of the hot season for selling goods, but suffered the severe cold in recent years.
Although the market demand before the holiday is not strong, it also proves that the grassroots level after the holiday There is a large gap in potential market demand.
Can the market usher in new benefits after the holiday? It will usher in the first good start for the fertilizer market in the Year of the Monkey, depending on the current specific market: ???? Compound fertilizer: The current market situation of compound fertilizer is still Relatively light, the overall price of compound fertilizer in Shandong is stable, with a small drop of about 20 yuan in some cases.
Most companies are about to start construction, and currently they are mainly issuing pre-orders.
It is expected that there will be a slight increase in delivery, but some large companies have large inventories and pressure on inventory and sales still exists.
Therefore, it is difficult for the market of compound fertilizers to be sluggish in the short term to be greatly improved.
On February 15th, the mainstream ex-factory price of 45% chlorine-based compound fertilizer was 1850-2050 yuan (ton price), and 45% sulfur-based compound fertilizer was 2200-2300 yuan.
?? "The prices of the three major raw materials of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are still trending downward as a whole, and it is difficult to support the price of compound fertilizers.
" Wang Xingwu, director of the supply department of Hubei Huafeng Biochemical Co.
, Ltd.
said straightforwardly, "The mainstream prices of raw materials continue to bottom out and compound fertilizer prices.
Fertilizer prices are always under pressure.
From the current point of view, it is unlikely that the raw material market will improve after the Spring Festival, and the recovery of compound fertilizers is a long way.
” ??? “The current sales of compound fertilizers are not ideal, and the inventory is difficult to digest.
Distributors The enthusiasm to get the goods is low, and the wait-and-see mood is still strong.
" said Zhang Jinglei, marketing manager of Hubei Maosheng Biological Co.
, Ltd.
Urea: On the eve of the Spring Festival, urea delivery improved slightly, mainly due to the rigid demand for top-dressing winter wheat in some areas after New Year's Day.
The quotations of individual manufacturers in Shandong and Lianghe areas rose slightly by about 10 yuan (ton price).
During the Spring Festival in the domestic market, Shandong and Lianghe regions mainly issued pre-orders, and manufacturers delivered goods smoothly.
The mainstream ex-factory quotations were raised by about 20 yuan to about 1,260 to 1,320 yuan.
A person in charge of a urea manufacturer in Shandong said that at present, Shandong urea ex-factory price is between 1270 and 1340 yuan (ton price).
The main reason is that after November last year, the price of urea fell too much, and the low price that had not been seen for many years appeared, and the manufacturers suffered serious losses.
Although the price of urea has increased, the overall price is still in a depression.
?? Ammonium chloride: Just after the Spring Festival holiday, a few compound fertilizer companies in the downstream of ammonium chloride are still on holiday, and some normal production companies are also waiting to see the raw materials.
Most ammonium chloride manufacturers have issued pre-orders, and they are still guaranteed to the end of this month.
Due to poor transportation and fewer new orders, most of them have the mentality of suspending quotations and controlling orders.
As compound fertilizer companies gradually return to normal, ammonium chloride manufacturers said that new orders will no longer be guaranteed and they intend to slightly increase prices.
???Phosphate fertilizer: the monoammonium market continues to be weak.
During the Spring Festival, a small amount of goods are restricted by the Spring Festival.
Due to the initial start of the market after the holiday, some companies mainly perform pre-orders, and the new order volume is small.
Northeast compound fertilizer The company also said it would wait and see for the time being, and consider purchasing after the monoammonium company offers.
The international monoammonium market went up and down, but mainly fell.
Potash fertilizer: The price of imported potassium has not changed for the time being; the international potash fertilizer market is still not good, especially the price of large particles in Brazil has dropped to 230 to 240 US dollars.
The current daily output of salt lake potash is 5,000 to 6,000 tons, and the operating rate will soon be increased.
Recently, the flow and transportation conditions are good, with 300 vehicles running every day; the price is temporarily stable, and there is no price adjustment plan.
The output of SDIC Luo's potassium has increased compared with last year.
It is understood that this year's sales task has increased by about 20% compared with last year; the transportation is good, and the main supply of early orders; the price is stable, and there is no price adjustment plan for the time being.
Potassium sulfate prices and trading in other regions have also not changed significantly.
??? On the whole, the market in the fertilizer market is still not optimistic, because the market has not fully started after the holiday, and the wait-and-see atmosphere is strong.
It is expected that it will hardly get better in the short term.
Affected by rigid demand, the prices of some chemical fertilizer varieties during spring plowing may have apparently risen slightly, but the actual transaction price is unlikely to have an essential breakthrough.
The enthusiasm for fertilizer preparation downstream of compound fertilizer has been frustrated again, and the short-term delivery volume is still not large.
