So far the calcium carbide market also was sluggish in China Northeast region. A producer said that their factories had suspended for two months because of low profits and they also were not sure when to start. The mainstream quotation of GrateI in Inner Mongolia region was offered at RMB2700-2800/mt. (USD423-456/mt) In Ningxia region the market was relatively stable, but excess of the supplement led to the producers to sale at a low price. There the mainstream offer of GradeI was RMB2700-2770/mt. (USD439-451/mt) In Xingjiang province the situation was different from the formers. The producers mainly supplied with the local enterprises. There production and sale were not influenced by the weak market atmosphere. The quotation of GradeI was RMB2700-2900/mt (USD423-472/mt). And in Shanxi province Calcium carbide basically were able to maintain previous level. The offer was RMB2600-2700/mt (USD423-439/mt).Because of localPVC enterprises run well, so shipment of the calcium carbide factory also was stability. The most enterprises there were waiting for the execution of electricity price preferential conditions.

It is expected that the whole calcium carbide market continued to keep the low stable. However, since some enterprises will suspend in later period, the price individually may rise.
