Diammonium phosphate market analysis and forecast:

Today, China's diammonium phosphate market is volatile and weak. In terms of enterprises, some diammonium companies still continue to advance advance shipments in advance, with sufficient shipments, and often suspend quotations. The ex-factory quotations are basically the same as the previous working day. In addition, due to the continuous shortening of fertilizer preparation time in autumn, the company's supply of goods has dropped rapidly in the early stage, and the company's enthusiasm for shipping has increased at present. On the demand side, although there is still a shortage of demand in the downstream, the overall purchasing enthusiasm of the market is weak, and the purchasing mentality of downstream traders tends to be cautious. On the whole, upstream shipments in the diammonium market are currently active and downstream purchases are cautious. It is expected that the diammonium market price will operate smoothly.
