The performance of 21fy and 22q1 of the company met expectations, and the repair of product price difference helped to increase the performance month on month in the first quarter. According to the announcement, from the perspective of production and marketing, the sales volume of 21q4 fertilizer sector was + 9% month on month, the production and marketing of organic amine and acetic acid sector was flat month on month, and the product price difference was compressed by high coal prices.

Our market tracking data shows that since 22q1, the price boom of the company’s main products has remained high, and the price difference has differentiated with the decline of bituminous coal price.
