Weekly Highlights The global fertilizer market continued to show clear divergence this week: Nitrogen fertilizers: European purchasing demand and policy incentives supported a recovery in urea prices, while ammonium sulfate remained under pressure due to export competition and shifting demand patterns.

Compound fertilizers can be classified by their main raw material systems, such as nitrate-sulfate-based, sulfur-based, chloride-based, urea-based and double-sulfate-based fertilizers. Each type has different nutrient release patterns, crop suitability and application requirements. Understanding these differences helps growers choose the right fertilizer for better yield, quality and soil management.
