In Aug. 2014, China’s markets of phosphorus ore and phosphate fertilizer start to rebound. Of this, the ex-works price of China’s phosphorus ore (30%) continued to increase slightly since April 2014 and went up by 3.70% in July compared with that in April; for domestic phosphate fertilizer market, since June 2014, the ex-works price of MAP stayed steady after falls while DAP enterprises witnessed tight supply influenced by typhoons and market demand.
Additionally, in this issue, CCM mainly analyzed the situation of China’s phosphorus ore resources and the control measures of the government. In China, most of phosphorus ore resources are used to produce phosphate fertilizer and phosphoric acid. For the sake of releasing the overcapacity of domestic phosphate fertilizer, enterprises tend to export high-quality phosphate fertilizer overseas, which causes serious outflow of high-quality phosphorus ore resources in China. Meantime, the governments focused on the integration of phosphorus ore. For instance, Hubei Province strengthens the technology innovation system construction for the R&D and utilization of phosphorus ore resources so as to promote the combination of reserve advantage and technology innovation advantage of phosphorus ore resources.
At the same time, CCM also paid attention to the dynamic of Jiangsu Yoke, a company engaged in the R&D and production of phosphate flame retardant.
