Guarantee supply and stable price of domestic potash fertilizer, mainly temporarily stable in the future

The salt lake and zangge are under normal operation and the unit is in good operation, but the downstream demand is good and the supply of goods is relatively tight. From the perspective of agricultural demand, the autumn fertilizer market is ending with slight procurement, while the winter storage market has not been started yet, and traders are not active in taking goods. From the perspective of industrial demand, the overall operating rate of the downstream market of potassium chloride is not high, and it is mainly just needed to purchase.
