Into the peak season for ammonium bicarbonate

After entering the end of April, the price of ammonium bicarbonate rose rapidly. In Hubei, Shandong and other places, in just a few days, the price of ammonium bicarbonate in some places rose sharply by RMB 100 (t price, the same below), and there has been a rare rise in recent years. Quotes. At present, the national ammonium bicarbonate factory price is generally more than 550 yuan, the high reaches 680 yuan.

There are two main reasons for the rapid rise in the price of ammonium bicarbonate:

One is that the increase in electricity prices has caused the rise in the production cost of ammonium bicarbonate. The National Development and Reform Commission issued a notice that, starting from April 20 this year, the fertilizer price concessions will be gradually phased out, and the fertilizer production electricity will be used to implement the same electricity and electricity prices for industrial and commercial use. It is understood that most of the local chemical fertilizer price increases by about 0.1 yuan / kWh, each to produce 1 ton of ammonium bicarbonate, about 350 kwh of electricity consumption, which is equivalent to increase production costs per ton of about 35 yuan.

The second is that it is currently in the market with fertilizer season. In the first half of the year, when the amount of ammonium bicarbonate used by farmers was large, due to the low enthusiasm of dealers in recent years, the stock of ammonium bicarbonate in the market was relatively small. When the demand of farmers suddenly increased, ammonium bicarbonate was bound to be triggered. The price rises. However, despite the relatively large increase in the price of ammonium bicarbonate, it is still not very high compared with the prices in previous years. Therefore, there is basically no problem that farmers can hardly accept.

After this sharp increase, some dealers tend to be cautious, saying that after the first sale of the inventory in the store, they will continue to chase the high-willed. However, due to the fact that current manufacturers generally have adequate orders and the sales pressure is not great, the possibility of a drop in the price of ammonium bicarbonate within a short period of time is unlikely.
