# Chinese capro amsul prices hit 9-month high as domestic demand squeezes availability

> Chinese caprolactam-grade ammonium sulphate has risen every week since mid-June, from the mid-to-high $80s to $110/t fob. The rally is tied to firmer Brazilian urea values and strong Chinese compactor demand, with Brazil importing rising volumes of Chinese amsul and SE Asia taking more material.

## Why it matters

Rising amsul prices reflect tightening nitrogen-complex supply and pricier sulphur-based fertiliser alternatives, which keeps nitrogen input costs elevated for Brazilian and Asian farmers. Feed buyers may see continued upward pressure on fertiliser-linked crop costs.
