Domestic Potash Trend in China
The domestic potassium chloride market is expected to maintain a high-level fluctuating pattern, with the price center steady at 2,800-3,000 yuan/ton. The supply-demand balance remains tight, while policy regulation and import costs jointly restrain large price fluctuations.
Current market situation (late April 2026):
Price is stable with slight fluctuations: As of April 27, 2026, the ex-factory price of domestic 60% potassium chloride was 2,800 yuan/ton (Qinghai Salt Lake, Zangge Mining); the mainstream self-pickup price for 62% white potash at ports was 3,150 yuan/ton, unchanged from last week.
Inventory is rising from a low level: As of mid-January 2026, domestic port inventory was 2.51 million tons. Although it is at a low level, it shows a slow upward trend. Data from mid-April 2026 indicates that the market price of potash fertilizer (port 62% white potassium chloride) was 3,242.5 yuan/ton.
Spring farming demand supports prices: The spring farming peak season drives the concentrated release of demand, accounting for about 50% of annual consumption. Under the condition of low inventory, this provides support for prices.
