In March, the spring fertilizer seems a bit later than in previous years, until the end of March, the northeast and central plains areas of the market demand is just a sign of the start, as demand season approaching, the downstream enquiry voice began to increase, but this is to cater to the "off-season prices, price of the unwritten season" the rules, although the demand for the better, but the fertilizer price trend is not optimistic.

In March after the stalemate for a long time stable compound fertilizer price eventually went downhill, Shandong, Jiangsu, two rivers and lakes and other parts of compound fertilizer enterprises began to quietly adjust the price, and some prescribed stability of some preferential policies, Anxiang, as of now the actual decline of up to 100 yuan / ton, individual enterprises at present the 45% rivers area of sulfur based compound fertilizer prices have general low to 2200-2250 yuan / ton, mainly to the northeast.

Spring demand is coming to an end, the weakness of the compound fertilizer market has become a foregone conclusion, the majority of the industry will look to the summer fertilizer market, some are optimistic that this year the high price of fertilizer, fertilizer production downstream than in previous years to reduce a lot, and corn prices this year has gone up, the late corn planting area increase, then the demand of chemical fertilizer focus on the outbreak, may face a shortage and tense situation, then the price of compound fertilizer possible counter attack; some pessimists argue that, although the cost of compound fertilizer enterprises is large, but the downstream demand is the most fundamental constraints, once the high price beyond the acceptance of downstream, abandoned may be more apparent, so reduce the fertilizer demand of fear will become inevitable.

In 2018, the market of compound fertilizer was walking on the tip, one is subject to the needs of light; frequent fluctuations in prices of raw materials on the other hand, let the spring enterprises miserable, market price chaos, vicious competition situation is still unabated, corporate profits have been compressed very thin, most large fertilizer enterprises purchase cautious side while the introduction of raw materials, carefully pricing and policy, not a lot of single suction, short-term collection policies become the most common sales mode of enterprises.

The environmental policy is still a "window" in the spring, the chemical fertilizer enterprises operating rate directly affected, especially urea prices, environmental pressure slightly increased, urea enterprises operating rate reduced, prices will rebound; environmental pressure slightly relaxed, urea enterprises operating rate rose, the price will be fall, the past said urea is high nitrogen compound fertilizer price benchmark, now, seems to have become the object of environmental policy of compound fertilizer enterprises pay more attention to the. Of course, we can't deny that environmental protection has brought us good air environment, but it has brought vitality to some low-energy mixed fertilizer enterprises, and low price has largely occupied the market share of large scale compound fertilizer enterprises.

Of course, the demand for corn fertilizer in the northeast and North China is also available. However, if prices can get warmer, we need to pay close attention to the trend of environmental policy and raw material market. Of course, downstream demand space is also an important factor that needs attention.
