Potassium carbonate

The price of potassium carbonate fell first and then rose in August. From the above chart, it can be seen that the potassium carbonate market has been declining for three consecutive months, with a rebound at the end of this month. The raw material potassium chloride rose at the end of the month, providing good cost support. Potassium carbonate followed the cost increase and the market bottomed out and rebounded.
