    Since the first ten days of May, the weather in the northern part of the country has continued to be fine, and the sea and lake salt production areas have entered a large area of ​​salt production.
    The supply of raw salt in the market has grown steadily, and the market prices in many places have been continuously lowered
    .
    At present, the sea salt in Shandong area has been reduced by 30-90 yuan/ton compared with the same period of last month, the sea salt market in Hebei area has been reduced by 30-50 yuan/ton compared with the same period of last month, and the sea salt market in Jiangsu area has been reduced by 50-80 yuan/ton compared with the same period of last month
    .
    The sea salt market in Liaoning has decreased by 50-100 yuan/ton compared with the same period last month
    .
    At present, the spring production of sea salt in the north is coming to an end.
    Some salt companies in the main producing areas of Hebei have completed spring production.
    The end of spring production in Shandong is expected to continue until the end of June, and some salt companies may continue to early July
    .
    With the expected extension of spring production, sea salt production may continue to increase in the first half of the year
    .

    Recently, the domestic epidemic situation has improved, but some two alkali enterprises have arranged shutdowns for maintenance, and the demand for raw salt is at a relatively low level
    .
    The international crude oil market continues to rise, the transportation cost of imported salt is high, and the price of imported salt is at a recent high, which is beneficial to the domestic raw salt market to a certain extent
    .
    As the spring supply of sea salt continues to enter the market, the domestic raw salt market has a more wait-and-see atmosphere, and the rhythm of market transactions may continue to be moderate
    .

    Influencing factors of domestic raw salt market

    Supply: Due to the high level of FOB and shipping prices recently, CFR China's cost of arriving at the port is relatively high, the negotiation of imported salt is higher than the domestic trade price, and the negotiation and transaction of imported raw salt have been less recently
    .
    The maintenance of some salt-alkali integrated enterprises has led to a decline in the start of the mine salt industry
    .

    Demand: In June, the two alkali enterprises in the northern region underwent more maintenance, and the demand for raw salt procurement slowed down
