The urea market price is about to bottom out

2013.4.22

During the spring plowing period last year, the urea market experienced a sharp rise, with the ex factory price breaking through the 2400 yuan (ton price, the same below) mark, setting a new price record since 2008. However, this year's urea market has been on a double track compared to last year, with peak season prices falling instead of rising. After the Qingming Festival, prices showed a significant decline, with a drop of over 150 yuan in just half a month. At present, the factory quotation in Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and other places is around 2000 yuan, and the actual transaction price is around 1960 yuan, which is only about 100 yuan lower than the lowest winter storage price of 1850 yuan in November last year. At present, the wholesale price of urea in the Guangzhou market has dropped by 2080 yuan, a decrease of 240 yuan compared to the previous price of 2320 yuan.

However, after this significant drop, there is not much room for urea prices to continue to decline, and they are about to bottom out. It is expected that after the peak period of spring plowing fertilizer in late April, the price of urea will gradually stop falling and rise. However, due to the still large supply-demand contradiction in the urea market, the upward space is expected to be relatively limited, and the strength mainly depends on the low price of urea. In the future, there are several favorable factors in the urea market, including:

Firstly, there is still a rigid demand in the urea market. In the Northeast region, the agricultural season this year has been delayed by about 2 weeks compared to previous years, but the delay only delays the market launch time, and the rigid demand in the future market still exists. The urea production in Northeast China is insufficient, and it needs to be imported from Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi and other places. When the Northeast urea market is launched, it will drive the North China market and then the national market.

The southern region will gradually enter the peak season for rice fertilization after late April, which is the largest urea fertilization season of the year. The southern market will become the main battlefield for urea manufacturers in April and May.

In addition, summer corn is planted in northern regionsA large amount of nitrogen fertilizer is needed, and as the season approaches, there may be a surge in the urea market driven by the production of nitrogen fertilizer by compound fertilizer manufacturers.

Secondly, farmers have a higher acceptance of fertilizer prices. This year, the lowest protection price for grain continues to rise, with rice and wheatThe minimum purchase price per 50 kilograms has increased by 10-12 yuan compared to last year, while the prices of fertilizers such as urea have decreased compared to the same period last year, which means that the planting income has increased. Most farmers will not be forced to lower wholesale and factory prices due to their refusal to accept price fertilizers.

Again, production cost support. Although coal prices have dropped by 50-100 yuan in some regions recently, resulting in a decrease in urea production costs, the space for urea enterprises has been greatly compressed due to the current decline in urea prices compared to the decline in production costs. According to industry insiders, the price range of 1900-1950 yuan is basically the bottom line for most urea companies. Below this price, some companies may be forced to shut down for maintenance or reduce their load. From the current market perspective, when manufacturers in Shandong, Hebei, and other regions saw a drop of 1950 yuan in their ex factory prices, some distributors increased their trading volume, and some manufacturers tentatively raised their ex factory quotes by 20 yuan.

The export of Zui urea is worth looking forward to. Although the current trend of urea prices is not good, there is still a certain demand in countries such as India, Pakistan, and Brazil, and urea prices cannot continue to decline. This year, China's urea export policy has been quite relaxed, with a significant reduction in export tariffs. As long as the offshore price of exports reaches 360 US dollars or more, the ex factory price in coastal provinces such as Shandong can reach around 2050 yuan, and the offshore price can reach 370 US dollars or more, with an ex factory price of around 2100 yuan. From the recent urea price trend, the offshore price of around 370 US dollars is not a very high price, and the export to the domestic market is still worth looking forward to.
