International ammonium sulfate market

Baltic Sea / Black Sea

 Exports from the Baltic and Black Seas remain limited, as producers mainly supply the local market and financial and political issues make Turkey largely inaccessible.

 SBU still has no supply available. If available, quote a minimum of $145/tonne FOB. The price of the Black Sea is higher, around $150-155 US dollars / ton FOB. It is reported that Grodno Azot sells 5,000 tons of standard grade ammonium sulphate at a price of FOB Klaipeda $138/ton.

 The ammonium sulphate producer Kuibyshevazot continues to be affected by the tight supply of Stavrolen, which is interrupted until mid-December, which will result in a loss of 3000-5000 tons/month of ammonium sulphate production from November to December.

 Northwestern Europe

 Compound fertilizer producers and extruded pellet manufacturers continue to require standard grades of ammonium sulfate. Antwerp's standard grade ammonium sulphate prices are stable at €125-130/tonne FOB. The 2mm granules are priced at €160-165/tonne FOB. For Antwerp 3mm pellets delivered in February, the price is €210/t fob Antwerp.

 According to reports, a small number of small batches of standard grades are priced at $146-147/tonne FOB NW Europe. Baltic buyers also entered the market this week. Antwerp's offer is 138-142 US dollars / ton FOB.
