This year due to Financial Turmoil and rising productivity, falling exports, and many other reasons, the domestic fertilizer market prices of various products all the way down to 6 months to July this year, some of the urea prices fell below 1,500 yuan (t value, the same below). Similar products and urea, due to excessive production capacity, the first half of the domestic market also showed a decline in AP state, the price has not been a sharp rebound in prices once 64% of 2700 yuan from high levels down to 2,000 yuan.
