# China’s Potash Price Surge: A Race Against Time for Sustainability – agtoday.info

> China's potash prices rose 100-200 yuan/ton in the week to July 12, 2025, with port 62% white KCl reaching 3,450-3,600 yuan/ton and 52% SOP at 3,950-4,100 yuan/ton. The rally followed port KCl inventories falling below 200,000 tons, maintenance shutdowns at Qinghai Salt Lake, and logistics problems with Russian and Belarusian imports. Pre-autumn demand also contributed.
