The cumulative annual data show that the cumulative volume of potassium chloride imported in january-june 2025 was 6. 28 million tons, a decrease of 2. 36 per cent over the same period last year, indicating a slightly lower overall level of imports in the first half of the year than in the previous year。
With regard to the country of origin of imports, russia, canada and belarus remain firmly in the position of major suppliers of potassium chloride imports. By june 2025, china's imports of potassium chloride from russia had been at the top of the list with no suspense, followed by canada with 1269 million tons and belarus with 1266 million tons. In addition, laos and jordan have demonstrated some supply capacity, ranking fourth and fifth at 1091 and 568 tons, respectively。
The total volume of potassium chloride imported by trade in january-june 2025 amounted to 1,153,000 tons, compared with 575. 9 million tons in the same period last year, an increase of 100. 21 per cent. The data on imports from border trade reveal that the continued arrival of marginal sources of goods supports market supply. However, local market demand is gradually declining owing to seasonal factors。
With regard to the current domestic market, the current market for potassium chloride is uncertain and the market has been relatively limited. In the case of potassium imports, the current market presents an awkward situation in which high prices make it difficult to facilitate transactions and low prices make it difficult to achieve large volumes of deliveries. The flow of goods remains low, while downstream markets are mostly wait-and-see and do not dare to do so easily。
In general, the market environment has been effectively regulated and guided by the active and strong guidance of the state's price-stable policies. Against this background, the already tense market supply situation has been somewhat eased with the gradual increase in the volume of low-cost discharges by traders. It should not be overlooked, however, that the decline in potassium chloride imports in june was more pronounced than in the previous year, a change in this data that raised concerns in the market. Moreover, market rumours that late-stage potassium chloride arrives in small quantities make it difficult for prices to decline significantly if the rumour is true and imports do decline significantly. Conversely, if subsequent imports remain stable or increase, market prices may accelerate their return to rationality。
