Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating is neutral, and it is expected that the urea market will continue to fluctuate within a narrow range [3] Core Viewpoints - The restriction on urea exports has been lifted, and manufacturers are exporting in an orderly manner with self - discipline. The willingness to ship goods to ports for export has increased, leading to a rise in urea port inventories. Urea production facilities that were shut down have restarted, and the operating rates of both coal - based and gas - based production have increased. The supply side remains at a high level. The operating rates of downstream compound fertilizers and melamine have decreased month - on - month, and the rigid demand from downstream industries has weakened. Due to drought and high temperatures in the north and heavy rainfall in the south, agricultural demand is lukewarm, and inventories in urea factories have accumulated. There are expectations of an increase in short - term downstream agricultural and export demand for urea [2] Summaries by Directory 1.
