Recently, the author learned that Hubei No.1 ammonium plant has recently received tens of thousands of tons of orders in the northeast, mainly from several compound fertilizer plants in Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. It is reported that 55% powdered ammonium from Jilin will be sent to Jilin for about 2,000 yuan (ton price, the same below) , Liaoning near 1980 yuan. It is also understood that the price of 55% monoammonium powder in Northeast Bayuquan Port is around 1940 yuan, mainly in Hubei, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places.
Looking at it this way, is the demand for monoammonium winter storage in Northeast China fully activated? Actually not. The specific situation in Tohoku is as follows.
1. At present, only a few compound fertilizer plants purchase moderate amounts. It is understood that the overall start of compound fertilizer companies in Northeast China has been delayed this year. It is expected that most companies will have to wait until mid-to-late October to resume production. Therefore, the procurement time is mostly concentrated near the end of September. Recently, only a few large compound fertilizer plants purchased in advance. The situation is similar. Large factories always purchase raw materials slightly earlier than most compound fertilizer companies. Although other companies have paid attention to the raw material market and inquired about prices earlier, the real centralized procurement will still be around the end of September. Some companies have not yet determined the start time .
2.The quantity of delivery is not large, and most of them are on delivery and in transit. The author understands that there are not many deliveries of monoammonium in Northeast China. The earliest arrival of monoammonium is probably from Yunnan enterprises. It has advantages in water transportation. The freight is cheaper than land transportation. Although the transportation time is long, it is possible to ship in advance. Certain large factories in Sichuan also have an advantage in taking firepower. Coupled with the relatively low price of outbound factories, the price to the northeast is also more appropriate. Hubei Dachang has recently been slow to ship its products, and the time to use fertilizer in some areas is getting closer and closer. Downstream customers are eager to get the goods, and their own compound fertilizers are also used more. This makes the delivery of monoammonium slow. It is reported that the monoammonium in Northeast China It is also mostly in the middle of the hair and on the way.
3. The recent Northeast price is mainly powdered ammonium, and the price and supply of granular monoammonium are currently unclear. It is reported that in the recent period, most of the monoammonium arrivals in the Northeast are 55% powdered monoammonium, and the supply of granular monoammonium is temporarily less. Blended fertilizer companies mostly use diammonium or granular monoammonium as raw materials. In the past few years, the price of diammonium was relatively suitable, and companies were willing to purchase 57% of diammonium. This year, the situation is different. In recent months, the export market for diammonium has been better. Prices continue to rise due to other reasons, which has made the domestic monoammonium supply slightly tighter and the price has risen. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is difficult for blended fertilizer companies to find a suitable source of diammonium. It may be possible when the price of monoammonium is relatively suitable. Will choose 55% granular monoammonium as raw materials.
Based on the above information, we can know the situation of monoammonium in some northeastern regions. It can be seen that although demand for monoammonium storage in winter is emerging, the overall demand for monoammonium has not fully started yet. It is expected that the Northeast market for monoammonium will become clearer near the end of September.
