Potash price negotiations begin to warm up

The ongoing international potash fertilizer price negotiations are attracting the attention of many investors. From the potash price export contracts signed by India and Russia that have already been concluded, the sharp rise in prices has already hinted at the subsequent Sino-Russian potash negotiations.
From the end of March, the international potash contract price in 2008 entered the negotiation stage one after another. Recently, the international potash giant Russia BPC has reached an agreement with India's largest importer IPL. The price of imported potash rose from 375 US dollars/ton in 2007 to 625 US$/ton in 2008, and the contract volume is 750,000 tons. The implementation period is 2008. May to March 2009.
According to past practice, India has always signed the potash contract agreement with BPC before China. The contract price signed in advance signifies a kind of innuendo to China. Since 2003, foreign parties have been demanding price increases based on the international market conditions in Southeast Asia and West Asia, making the potash import contract price in these areas a “benchmark” for Chinese potash imports.
At present, the CIF price of potassium chloride in Southeast Asia has reached 600 U.S. dollars. The average price of potassium chloride imported by China in January this year was only 311 U.S. dollars, which is much lower than in other regions. Therefore, in this year's potash fertilizer price negotiations, prices have risen unavoidably.
It is reported that international potash fertilizer production capacity is mainly concentrated in Canada and Russia. Nearly 70% of global potash fertilizer production capacity is mainly provided by companies such as Campotex and Potash. In 2007, China imported 9.413 million tons of potassium chloride, a year-on-year increase of 33.5%, accounting for 80.6% of the total amount of fertilizer imports that year. A lot of dependence on imports has led people in the industry to maintain a bullish view on domestic potash prices this year or some time in the future.
According to the analysis, with the growth of domestic crop acreage, domestic potash fertilizer demand will show rapid growth in the next few years. On the supply side, with the exception of the Qinghai Salt Lake Potash (000792) expansion project, CITIC Guoan (000839) potash project, and Xinjiang Rob Lake Potash Project, there is basically no other capacity expansion. China's potash fertilizer will still mainly rely on imports. As the current international potash fertilizer company's export prices for potash in China are lower than those for other countries, these potash fertilizer companies will continue to increase their export prices to China in the coming years.
As China's potash fertilizers rely on imports for a long period of time, foreign dependency is as high as two-thirds, and the domestic supply of potash fertilizer will continue to be tight in the future. It is expected that each major potash producer will use its resource advantage this year to increase the export price of potash fertilizer to China. Under this background, domestic manufacturers will also continue to increase the ex-factory price of potash fertilizer.
It is reported that the negotiations between China and BPC were temporarily delayed until April due to the convening of the "two sessions." According to the usual practice, China and BPC will have substantial contacts during the FMB period.

Jinan Forever Chemical Co.,Ltd founded in 2005, is a production enterprise. Forever Chemical professionally works on AC blowing agents, 2-aminophenol, hydrazine hydrate, ferric chloride anhydrous

Azodicarbonamide appears as an orange to yellowish crystalline powder, the color of which depends on the particle size. The specific gravity is 1.65, the specific heat capacity is 1.08784j g-1 k-1, the decomposition temperature is 205-215 °c (visual measurement of melting point tube) , non-toxic, odorless, excellent storage stability, self-rest in case of fire and non-combustion. ADC is the most economical and widely used organic chemical blowing agent among all industrial blowing agents. POROFOR ADC is mainly used in the production of closed-cell foamed products because of its good dispersibility, large volume of gas and non-toxic, tasteless and non-polluting decomposition products, the application field of ADC is greatly expanded.

Azodicarbonamide
Characteristics
1. Gas Production Efficiency is high. The product has high purity, high gas yield, high performance-price ratio, and belongs to high efficiency foaming agent.
2. Stable quality. The production device has high automation degree, stable product quality, reduce waste, and is especially suitable for use in products with high quality requirements of foaming agent.
3. Complete specs. The product has a particle size range of 3-15 microns and is suitable for a wide range of foaming applications. Five kinds of products with different particle sizes are selected, which can be used directly or modified further to enlarge the application range. L-C2 and M-C1 are especially suitable for low processing temperature or high foaming efficiency when used together with activator.
4. Good dispersion. Products bubble hole fine, uniform; products feel good, beautiful appearance.
5. Use it well. The solid residue after decomposition is colorless, tasteless and pollution-free, and does not affect the appearance and performance of the product.
6. Low dust. LANXESS's proprietary technology, which reduces fly ash, helps improve the user's operating environment.

7. Non-toxic. Permitted in products that come into contact with food.
