Ten years ago, ammonium sulfate was still an unnoticed "little brother" in the fertilizer world.

At that time, most ammonium sulfate players were small companies. Many felt embarrassed to say they specialized in it—after all, in the presence of urea, the undisputed "big brother," and phosphate fertilizer, the powerful "second brother," ammonium sulfate barely had a voice.

Fast forward a decade, and everything has changed.

China Ammonium sulfate’s annual exports have soared past 17 million tons, making it the number one fertilizer export from China, firmly taking the throne as the new “big brother” on the list.

Meanwhile, policy restrictions have curbed the export of urea and phosphate fertilizers, pushing the former giants to pivot—

Urea players began adding ammonium sulfate to their portfolios, phosphate players followed suit,

and even those in the potash and compound fertilizer sectors jumped on the ammonium sulfate bandwagon.

At the same time, the global nitrogen fertilizer landscape has shifted.

More and more new companies entered the industry by starting with ammonium sulfate—and secured their place in the market.

From a background player to a leading role,

ammonium sulfate has moved from the margins to the mainstream—now a “must-have” for everyone in the fertilizer game.

Cheers for all ammonium sulphate players!
