China: August UAN-32 exports a mere 439 mt

摘要

China exported a mere 439 mt of UAN-32 in July 2017, a 99% decline year on year, leaving the first eight months of 2017 down 63% to 106,431 mt, according to IHS GTA data. Around 290 mt of the August shipments went to New Zealand, up from a mere 26 mt. Australia received 150 mt, down 99%. These are flexitank container shipments from smaller producers such as Luxi Chemical, as the two major bulk UAN producers Jinkai and Huaihua have stopped production due to low prices.
