I. Potash Market: Tight Supply and Rising Prices Amid Strategic Standoff; Pre-Spring Ploughing Stockpiling Underway, Tight Circulation Becoming the Norm Recently, China’s domestic potash market has exhibited an unusual pattern of shrinking volumes alongside rising prices. Despite persistent market rumors suggesting policy coordination through long-term contract allocations and direct-supply releases, actual circulating volumes remain tight. Against this backdrop of reduced av

I. Executive Summary Entering late January 2026, the global fertilizer market is operating within a structural framework characterized by “high cost support + tight supply–demand balance.” In the Chinese market , phosphate fertilizers remain stable at elevated levels under the dual influence of supply-guarantee and price-stabilization policies together with persistently high raw-material costs. Potash prices are trending steadily upward, supported by low inventories and incre

In 2025, China’s fertilizer imports and exports showed a clear pattern of strong growth in export volumes and values, alongside a slight decline in imports. Urea exports recorded particularly sharp growth, while phosphate fertilizer exports continued to contract. Domestic policy priorities focused on securing internal supply had a profound impact on the global phosphate fertilizer market structure. Looking ahead to 2026, the global phosphate fertilizer supply outlook is broad

From December 26, 2025 to January 9, 2026, China’s domestic fertilizer market operated around the core theme of “price stability and supply assurance for phosphate fertilizers.” On the raw material side, clear divergence was observed: phosphate rock remained largely stable, sulfur fluctuated at high levels, while sulfuric acid and synthetic ammonia stayed broadly stable. The potash market continued to operate under a tight supply–demand balance, with prices holding firm at el

By late December, China’s fertilizer market has exhibited clear structural characteristics. On the raw material side, sulfur shows a pattern of domestic price pullback alongside high-level volatility in imported material, while phosphate rock, sulfuric acid, and synthetic ammonia remain broadly stable. The phosphate fertilizer market continues to implement policy-driven supply assurance and price stabilization, with prices remaining steady despite rising cost pressure. The po

China’s Annual Contract Anchors Global Pricing While Supply–Demand Dynamics Shape the Market In November 2025, China finalized its 2026 annual potash import contract—an event that quickly became the central anchor for global potash pricing. The agreement not only halted the price slide in several emerging markets but also ignited China’s winter fertilizer stocking season. At the same time, rising sulfur and sulfuric acid prices pushed production costs sharply higher, placing

By the end of November 2025, China’s fertilizer market displayed clear structural characteristics: While the potash sector benefited from the newly signed annual import contract that set a cost floor, downstream demand remained weak, limiting actual transactions and keeping the market in a state of fragile stability. Conversely, upstream raw materials such as phosphate rock, sulfur, and sulfuric acid showed structural upward trends driven by tight supply or cost-push effects.
