The restart of export-oriented plants in Russia and Ukraine saw a burst of sales activity in the Black Sea for late October and early November loadings. Spot supply from Russia and Ukraine was booked for the steady flow of cargoes for the rest of the year given that the region’s plant turnaround season is over. Spain and Turkey are booked to receive their usual contract volumes from various suppliers, while other countries also securing supply on spot basis for prompt arrival. However, as the governments and companies expected to get to grips with the second wave of the coronavirus, the demand of Ammonium Sulphate from the fertilizer manufacturers is expected to increase in Q4.

Ammonium sulphate (AS) is an inorganic salt with several commercial uses. It is generally produced by three different processes; as a byproduct of Caprolactam production, combining anhydrous ammonia and sulphuric acid in a reactor and by reacting ammonia recovered from coke oven gas with sulphuric acid. The primary use of the compound is as the soil fertilizer as it contains nitrogen and sulphur. The chemical has also been used in flame retardant chemicals because of its capability to increase the combustion temperature of the material. Demand for nutrient rich food, development in agriculture industry and receding arable land will be the major growth driver for the Ammonium Sulphate in the forecast period. The agriculture industry is the largest end-consumer for Ammonium Sulphate. On the other hand, volatility in the raw material prices is one of the major hinderances to the growth of Ammonium Sulphate market in the forecast period.
