The international potash fertilizer market is currently a sunny day. The foreign investors’ psychological outlook is expected to continue to be fine. The mainstream supply and demand prices in all continents are bullish. Zhongyu Information analyst Li Jinmei said that in the short to medium term, the major suppliers Vancouver, Canada, Sa Russia, and North-West Europe are all elevated positions; the major demand regions in Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Americas, and Europe have increased their market demand, and high prices have slowly been implemented.
In such a clear light, the decline in China’s potassium market is like a dark cloud, which seems a bit out of place. Considering that China’s large contract negotiators are more likely to release or increase their expectations, the Chinese potash market has a limited space for decline, and there is room for improvement in expectations of the news of boots thrown in; however, reviewing last year’s large-scale contract negotiations and discussions is relatively long, it is expected that the end of this year will take some time.
China is a country that lacks potassium. Potassium is the “grain” of grain and one of the three major nutrients of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needed for food crops. China, as a large potash fertilizer country, has seen a significant increase in domestic potash fertilizer output, but the long-term need for domestic potash fertilizer imports cannot be changed.
In the spring, the domestic fertilizer market was not yet in its peak season, and the price of imported border traded potassium chloride fell. The overall domestic trading volume of potassium sulphate was not satisfactory, and the price of the Mannheim and Qinghai water and salt systems went down. The follow-up to the new single slip of the Manheim Plant continued to be difficult to meet expectations, and the demand side was not boosted. It was common for the actual transaction and quoted price to widen after the gap was widened. Currently, the domestic mainstream factory price of Ruumenheim 50 powder is 2,800-2,850 yuan/ton, and the low-end quotation is 2,700 yuan/ton. The actual discount space is negotiable. Northwest Manham 50 powder factory price of 2,700 yuan / ton, the Qinghai water and salt system, the first station to offer at 2,700 ~ 2,750 yuan / ton, the transaction can be discussed. On the whole, the gap in the offer price of the single Mannheim factory has been significantly widened. The price of the single unit in the Mannheim factory is 51, which is 3,000 yuan per ton, and the spread is still increasing.
Looking into the second quarter of the potash market, the price of Guotou Luo potassium will be the result of the publicity, and water, salt and Manham are expected to continue their weak partners. Luo Ka summer overhaul period lengthened, and the first half of the order sold out, the price callback probability and amplitude are very limited, the offer will continue high-profile single show.
