Hear Argus’ essential analysis of the ammonium sulphate (AS) market with a focus on China as the world’s largest exporter, covering why demand is growing in Southeast Asia and Europe, preferred grades, price and premium trends, product substitution to ammonium chloride and the impact of CBAM. We also introduce the new Argus caprolactum grade Ammonium Sulphate fob China daily price assessment.
