Why has the price of chemical fertilizer been rising?
The continuous rise in fertilizer prices has a great impact on farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain. At present, the domestic urea price has generally risen sharply, and the price in some areas has risen to more than 3,000 yuan/ton. Compound fertilizer has also risen sharply, with a recent increase of 50- 100 yuan/ton. Diammonium phosphate market has risen steadily, and the price of potash fertilizer has skyrocketed, and the price has continued to rise sharply.
The main reasons for the increase in fertilizer prices are as follows:
1, urea
There are many reasons for the increase of urea. First, due to environmental protection requirements, the daily output of some urea production enterprises in Shanxi has decreased by about 9,500 tons, and it is expected to resume normal production in late April.
Second, it is the peak season of spring ploughing, and many areas in the south have already started spring ploughing, so the demand for urea is large.
Third, the spread of the epidemic, poor traffic in some areas, leading to tight supply, but also the peak of fertilizer use, exacerbated the rise of urea.
2. Potash fertilizer
Affected by factors such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the international price of potassium chloride continues to rise. At present, the price of imported potash fertilizer has risen to more than 5000 yuan/ton.
With the increase of international potash fertilizer, the price of domestic potash fertilizer keeps rising, while the demand for potassium chloride in the domestic market is more, but the supply of production enterprises is limited, which intensifies the price increase.
The price of crude oil has gone up.
As a basic energy source, petroleum is an important upstream product of chemical fertilizer. Russia is the second largest oil exporter in the world. Affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the international crude oil price rose, and the international nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer and potassium fertilizer all rose to varying degrees, driving the domestic fertilizer price to rise.
Trend Analysis of Fertilizer Market in 2022
March-April is the peak season for spring ploughing, during which urea price is expected to run at a high level, and the price of 3,000 yuan/ton will last for some time. After the peak period of fertilizer use, the demand will drop and the price will drop sharply.
In terms of potash fertilizer, Canada's imported potash fertilizer will not arrive in Hong Kong until the end of April, and there will be upward pressure on domestic potash fertilizer in the short term.
Diammonium phosphate is affected by many factors, such as market shortage, raw material shortage in enterprises, and blocked delivery. The operating rate has dropped significantly and the inventory is insufficient. At present, it is the period of spring ploughing and fertilizer use, and the price will continue to rise, which will be difficult to come down for a while.
Under the continuous influence of urea, potash fertilizer and diammonium, the price of compound fertilizer will also rise, and it is more likely to rise slightly in the short term.
On the whole, according to the current market, it is expected that the fertilizer price will not fall before the end of March, and there is even room for a slight increase. After entering April, with the decrease of demand, the increase of chemical fertilizer will gradually ease. In short, it is difficult to achieve a sharp drop in fertilizer prices in the short term. Farmers should collect the fertilizer market in time and do a good job in spring ploughing.
