The enthusiasm of terminal fertilizer preparation is not high, and the purchase of ammonium chloride is relatively light. In November, the urea market was mainly weak, and the price went down all the way, which had a certain impact on the ammonium chloride market. The downstream compound fertilizer enterprises are not hot, the overall operating rate is low, the progress of winter storage is slow, the price is difficult to improve, and the market is not optimistic.
