North American Fertilizer Research Institute statistics show, in recent years, USA urea imports decreased by 18% year-on-year, an import year-on-year decrease of 50000 tons of ammonium sulfate, while imports increased 21%.

In March American urea imports reached 1300000 tons, annulus comparing increases 260000 tons, of which imports 212000 tons short ton from Qatar, from Oman to import 159000 tons, 99000 tons of imports from Russia, from Trinidad and Tobago imported 79000 tons. Although the March urea imports, but in 2013 July to 2014 March imports decreased by 18% year-on-year, down to 5500000 tons, imports last year is as high as 6700000 tons. In March America urea exports amounted to 38000 tons, mainly exported to Canada, despite the increase in the chain, transaction volume but lower than the same period in recent years..

In March, USA ammonium nitrate imports for 60000 tons, in 2013 July to 2014 March an imports of 400000 tons, the same period of the previous year import volume is 745000 tons. In March year-on-year increase of ammonium sulfate imports for 67000 tons, year to date total imports, an increase of 21%, reached 283000 tons, of which Chinese supply 92000 tons.

In March, USA ammonia imports for 505000 tons, year-on-year decrease of 30%, in February imports of 323000 tons. The March import demand, the main reason is the domestic nitrogen fertilizer demand and two phosphate fertilizer production line production. So far this year, the ammonia imports decreased by 22% year-on-year, down to 4200000 ton.

Also, because the domestic stock abundance, Brazil nitrogenous fertilizer imports fell sharply in March. But the urea imports in the first 3 months of this year compared to the same period did not decrease.

In March, Brazil urea imports was only 252000 tons, the same period in 2013 of 420000 tons; ammonium nitrate imports for 33000 tons, only for the same period in 2013 1/3; thiamine imports decreased by 43% year-on-year, down to 152000 tons.

In January this year, Brazil urea and ammonium sulfate higher imports, but in April soybean harvest dealers dumping inventory in March led to the decline in imports, nitrogen fertilizer.

From 1 to March, Brazil imported 62000 tons of ammonium nitrate, imports of the same period of 2013 to 182000 tons. The total amount of import of urea is 874000 tons, compared with the same period in 2013, most of the imported goods for granular urea, total imports of urea 77%. In 2013 over the same period of large granule urea accounted for imports of urea 47%. Ammonium sulfate imports for 451000 tons, imports of the same period of 2013 to 493000 tons.

Another concern is: Brazil large granule urea is occupying small particles of the market, this year 1 ~ February, Brazil imported urea 75% into large particles of supply of goods, an increase of 47%.

Russian offer small particles urea on the market in Brazil recently has dropped to $320 per ton cif. Brazil market at present also not to demand season, so the price may be further down.

Brazil next season crop of sugarcane and soybean, urea demand of these two crops are not.
