In February 3rd 85% net water phosphate market price of 4298 yuan / ton, temporary price stability. The phosphate enterprises started to maintain a low, mainly in the pre orders, shipments in general.

February 4th Guangxi minglee Group Limited company of food grade phosphoric acid water purification factory price 4400 yuan / ton, industrial grade price 4380 yuan / ton, shipment, annual production capacity of 200 thousand tons of production equipment. Sichuan Jinshi Phosphorus Chemical Co., phosphate price 4400 yuan / ton, temporary price stability, the normal unit operation, take the goods in general. Sichuan Kanglong Chemical Co., Ltd. phosphate price 4350 yuan / ton, temporary price stability, the normal unit operation, take the goods in general. Huanghua pengfa Chemical Co. Ltd. phosphate factory price 4600 yuan / ton (excluding tax), the actual transaction price is flexible, the unit runs smoothly, shipment. Shifang Huarong Technology Co., Ltd. phosphate factory price 4100 yuan / ton, temporary price stability, the unit runs smoothly, production capacity of 30 thousand tons / year, the current operating rate of 100%, shipment.

At present, the domestic prices of upstream raw materials fell phosphate phosphorus phosphate cost support face weak, weak downstream fertilizer market demand, trading volume is insufficient, Guadan, with sporadic small single, affected by the upstream raw materials, in the short term there is still downward phosphate body space, mainly to see the downstream demand.

In January, the domestic acetic acid market fell sharply. As of the end of the month, China to discuss the market in 2750-2950 yuan / ton, the monthly average price of 2893 yuan / ton, down 4.02%, an increase of 49.76%. In mid December acetic acid market prices rose to a high, the downstream purchase mentality turn cautious, in January after the factory shipments more pressure, inventory accumulation, the overall social inventories increased significantly.

Coupled with the arrival of the Chinese Lunar New Year, a large number of downstream acetate factory shutdown, slash of acetic acid and acetic acid during the rigid demand, no parking plan for the Spring Festival, during the Spring Festival to reduce inventory pressure, the factory has a row of library needs to discuss the market focus has shifted. Coupled with the methanol market weakness down, facing the lack of supporting raw material acetic acid acetic acid market, the market continued downward. After the end of intermediaries and downstream users gradually leave, discuss the market reduced market is maintained.

Prediction: the current acetic acid social inventory is high, but the main downstream equipment is gradually resume production, holding cargo shipments increased, industry mentality has improved, but the short-term market supply and demand contradiction difficult to effectively alleviate the situation, coupled with the raw material of methanol market atmosphere instability, acetic acid, short-term there is still narrow downside risk. But with lower production recovery, is expected to ease pressure on the stock factory, acetic acid market atmosphere will be stable.

At present, 50% powder mainstream price at 2400

-2500 yuan / ton, the actual turnover still talks. Qinghai area of potassium sulfate does

not run smoothly, transportation has not been good to ease. Now 50/51% powder station

prices of more than 2300 yuan / ton. SDIC k-lo prices continued early, 51% powder station

price 2450 yuan / ton, 52% powder at the price of 2500 yuan / ton, shipping is still not

too smooth, tight volume by region.

At present, the upstream prices of potassium chloride, potassium sulfate is expected in

the short term price stability oriented.

January 17th Shijiazhuang and potassium sulfate 50% powder factory price 2350 yuan / ton,

50% grain factory price 2500 yuan / ton. Hebei Gaoqiao agricultural science and

technology of potassium sulfate particles 50% price 2600 yuan / ton, 50% powder price

2450 yuan / ton, 52% powder price 2550 yuan / ton. Liaoning Xin Water Chemical Co. Ltd.

potassium sulfate 50% powder price 2350 yuan / ton, grain price at 2450 yuan / ton.

Shandong green chemical potassium sulfate 50% powder factory price 2500 yuan / ton, grain

factory price 2660 yuan / ton, 52% powder factory price 2730 yuan / ton.

At present, the domestic market continued steady performance of potassium sulfate,

trading is still deadlocked, the manufacturers basically extend the previous quotation.

Mannheim potassium sulfate plant in by-product hydrochloric acid upside down situation,

operating rate remained at 6.5 percent, did not appear to improve.

In recent years, some CCMP manufacturers due to the downturn in market conditions, production of pollution, environmental policy tightening and other factors out of the market. Yancheng Zhida only a few big enterprises. Yancheng, Asia’s largest chemical imidacloprid intermediate 2- chloro -5- chloromethylpyridine production enterprises, the annual output of 3500 tons. In recent years, the company invested a lot of money on the original CCMP production process was improved, the company with an annual output of 3500 tons CCMP project adopts the most advanced production equipment, greatly improving the production yield and reduce waste water, thus reducing the production cost and environmental pressure, improve product yield and market share.

Company general manager Li Bo said, the current CCMP market in short supply in the state, after the Spring Festival is expected prices will rise further, the company booked until April this year.

In addition, Lee also introduced to expand the market, the company pre on new products 2, two -5- three 3- chlorine fluorine methyl pyridine and ammonia 2- methyl -3- chloride -5- three fluorine methyl pyridine, the project annual output was 1500 tons and 1000 tons, the former is haloxyfop-P, fluazinam and chlorfluazuron. The latter is an important intermediate for the synthesis of intermediates, Fluopicolide, after the completion of the project, will become the manufacturer of the chemical products the largest.

Recently, from the Yancheng Zhida chemical limited company, subject to capacity, environmental supervision, haze regulation and a series of events, the production of imidacloprid is an important intermediate of 2- chloro -5- chloromethylpyridine (CCMP) price within a year increased by 40.7%, the average price from the market in January 2016 67 thousand and 500 yuan / ton rose to 95 thousand yuan / ton. Especially in the 11 and December price increase significantly.

CCMP is an important intermediate for production of imidacloprid. Imidacloprid synthesis route is more, but are required by the intermediate CCMP, so this is also the key intermediate of imidacloprid production. Imidacloprid is one of the largest global pesticide dosage, Chinese imidacloprid production accounted for 80% of the world’s total output, imidacloprid market situation has a direct impact on the CCMP market. From 2016 the price of the varieties of imidacloprid, began to show obvious high price to go situation from the end of August, and the emergence of supply. Is expected in 2017 will continue this trend. According to the above analysis, CCMP still has a large market in China.
