Market situation
Although the epidemic situation in foreign countries has not improved, many countries are suffering from economic reasons and have begun to resume work one after another, and the demand for preservatives in the foreign market has delayed growth. The number of domestic factories that have not yet paid their orders has gradually decreased, and the margin of debt has been favorable for shipment. Domestic traders still have a large number of low-cost RMB orders, plus the country encourages exports, the tax rebate rate has increased, the exchange rate has continued to rise, continued to facilitate shipments, and strive for orders, prices continue to fall.

ECHEMI Prediction
In summary, the unpaid orders of domestic factories are relatively alleviated. The factories sell at a profit. The vast majority of the market has poor economic benefits. Domestic dealers continue to sell at a profit and prices continue to fall. In early June, Ningbo Wanglong started the 10-day shutdown again to curb the continued decline in prices, stopped the supply of sorbic acid to the southern plant, and reduced the supply of potassium sorbate in the market. It is expected to begin supply in early June, although It can partially stabilize the market and continue to decline, the market is still likely to continue to decline.
