April 21 (Reuters) - According to customs data, China's potassium chloride imports in March 2026 amounted to 1.5187 million tons, a month-on-month decrease of 1.84% compared to February (1.5471 million tons). Cumulative imports from January to March 2026 totaled 4.5848 million tons, representing a year-on-year increase of 29.29%.

Chempricehub's analysis of potassium chloride indicates a bearish score of -1.5. The cumulative import volume from January to March 2026 increased significantly by 29.29% year-on-year, suggesting a notable rise in supply that may outpace demand growth. This could elevate the risk of oversupply in the market, exerting downward pressure on spot prices. The month-on-month decrease of 1.84% in March is relatively minor and has a neutral impact, insufficient to offset the bearish effect brought about by the overall increase in supply.
