Thailand imported 25,300 tons of ammonium sulfate in October, a year-on-year decrease of 11%. China was Thailand's main supplier in October, but deliveries fell 17% year-on-year to 22,900t.
Thailand's imports fell in October as torrential rains and severe flooding in central Thailand affected the second rice planting season in November. Demand for fertilizers such as ammonium sulphate has thus decreased, and importers say local stocks are still sufficient and do not intend to import.
Indonesia's ammonium sulphate imports totaled 76,100 tonnes in October, down 32% year-on-year. China was Indonesia's main supplier in October, with deliveries down 40% year-on-year to 67,100t.
