In terms of industry, the new orders of compound fertilizer enterprises are insufficient, the operating rate remains low, and the demand for urea is poor. On the international side, India announced a new round of bidding last week, which will form a certain support for international demand.

Although India's demand in the international market has some support, it is still oversupplied and the price is down.
