I. Russia: Port Expansion to Boost Mineral Fertilizer Exports by 8–12% Following the completion of the expansion at Russia’s Ust-Luga Port Favor terminal, the country’s export capacity for mineral fertilizers is expected to increase by 8–12%. The terminal is open to all fertilizer producers and offers a key advantage in handling efficiency compared with non-specialized ports. At present, Russia still lacks sufficient dedicated port infrastructure for mineral fertilizers. The

A Science-Based Nutrient Strategy to Overcome Quality and Yield Challenges in Winter Tomato Production Tomato is one of the most widely cultivated and highly commercialized vegetable crops worldwide. Combining high nutritional value with stable market demand, it plays a central role in protected agriculture and off-season production systems. In relatively warm regions such as subtropical and tropical areas, winter tomato production benefits from off-season market windows and

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

I. Why Is Magnesium Essential in Aquaculture? In aquaculture practice, many production problems do not originate directly from diseases, but from more fundamental and often overlooked factors—imbalances in waterborne minerals. Issues such as failed molting in crustaceans, increased mortality after stress events, unstable water quality, and disrupted algal communities are frequently linked to deficiencies or improper ratios of basic ions such as magnesium in the culture water.

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

In agricultural production, potassium nitrate stands out as a key fertilizer for fruit enlargement, quality improvement, stress resistance, and yield enhancement due to its unique dual supply of nitrogen and potassium. It provides crops with readily available nitrate nitrogen, promoting photosynthate formation and nutrient transport, while also supplying potassium, which enhances cellular structural stability and improves overall resistance to lodging, environmental stress, a

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

From January to November 2025, China’s fertilizer imports and exports showed a clear pattern of rising export volumes and prices alongside a slight decline in imports. Toward year-end (mid-December), the market centered on three main themes: policy-driven price stability and supply assurance for phosphate fertilizers, supply–demand tug-of-war in the potash market, and policy regulation of upstream raw materials. Phosphate rock, sulfur, and sulfuric acid exhibited divergent tr

In early December 2025, China’s fertilizer market entered a critical phase characterized by across-the-board cost increases and a continued tight supply–demand balance. Rising prices of raw materials such as sulfur and sulfuric acid have pushed up costs for phosphate fertilizers and potassium sulfate. Meanwhile, the potash market remains firm at high levels, supported by concentrated supply and rigid winter stocking demand.In the international market, a pattern of strong dem

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the global fertilizer industry is marked by distinct trends of “strategic upgrading, rising demand, and active trade.” The United States has, for the first time, included phosphate rock and potash in its Critical Minerals List, underscoring the national-security importance of fertilizer resources. Nutrien, the world’s largest fertilizer producer, forecasts continued growth in global potash demand in 2026, prompting adjustments in industry planni
