需求方面，根据钢联数据，今年1—7月，尿素表观需求为4100万吨，同比增加250万吨，增幅为8%。当 前农业需求处于季节性淡季，复合肥企业成品库存高企且下游走货不畅，开工率偏低，以按需采购尿素 为主；板材、三聚氰胺等工业需求也因房地产等行业低迷而表现较弱，尤其是胶合板需求同比明显下 降，胶合板厂开工率较低，部分企业不得不以价换量。 整体来看，虽然9月初尿素日产量小幅下滑，但随着前期检修装置复产以及新增产能投放，9月中下旬日 产量有望回升至19万吨以上，甚至接近20万吨。农业需求短期难有起色，秋季肥对尿素需求的拉动作用 相对有限；工业需求缓慢恢复，对价格的支撑力度不足。尿素期货主力合约目前已跌破1700元/吨关 口，考虑到短期供需宽松的市场格局难以扭转，市场情绪整体偏空，预计10月之前期货价格维持偏弱震 荡态势。 （文章来源：期货日报） 出口方面，2025年5月，我国对尿素出口实行配额制，前3批配额总量约400万吨。虽然今年上半年尿素 出口量仅为7.7万吨，但是8月出口量大幅增长。根据海关总署数据，8月尿素出口量为80万吨，同比大 幅增长；1—8月尿素累计出口量为144万吨，同比增长492.3%。 现货市场交投 ...
