In East China and South China, both domestic and imported acetic acid supply is slim. In North China, the market is balanced. Spurred by methanol-method acetic acid price hike, ethanol-method acetic acid price moves up, too. Some chloroactic acid plants, unable to afford exorbitant acetic acid price, have suspended operation.

Ji?an Biochemical Co., Ltd., quotes a producer?s price of RMB6,700/MT, but its product is only shipped to the Northeast. Yangtze Petrochemical Corp. began acetic acid production last month, but its product is for self-use only.
