Looking forward to China's fertilizer industry to create greater glories

Two years ago before the *****, China's chemical fertilizer industry experienced an important historical moment - the National Development and Reform Commission announced the release of fertilizer prices. Since then, chemical fertilizer companies have started to learn from the market. That was the result of the unremitting efforts of several representatives of the chemical industry community.

This year, the reporter searched and found that except for Wen Simei, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice president of South China Agricultural University, who spoke about “substantially raising the price of pesticides and fertilizers and letting farmers use them to force farmers to use fertilizer”, almost There is no more strong sounding about fertilizer production. This is probably because the chemical fertilizers that have been devastated in the market have become the most common commodities and have passed the days when general goods would have passed.

But two years have passed. How has the marketing of chemical fertilizer companies been going by?

It doesn't look good.

In the two years, the fertilizer company was like a ship in the ship. It was suddenly rushed to the tip of the wave and was suddenly pushed into the deep valley. The fertilizer price was like riding a roller coaster. It suddenly rose and suddenly fell. In the past two years, there have been often negative news from the fertilizer industry: low prices, insufficient start-up rates, and discontinued production expansion... The worst news comes from the 2010 China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Economic Operation released by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. report". According to the report, according to incomplete statistics, in 2010 (which is also the last year of the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”), China’s urea production capacity (refined) was approximately 34 million tons per year, which exceeded 30% of domestic demand.

It has become one of the industries with the most overcapacity - this is the two-year marketization of the fertilizer industry, and the transcripts handed over.

This is probably the result that the representative member of the chemical industry did not think of. For many years, what they have called for is not such a result. But the market is so cruel. The two-year market experience of the fertilizer industry shows how brittle the policy is and how weak the market's adaptability is.

However, it is in these two years that China’s grain output has continuously hit a record high. According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2009, the total grain output in China was 1061.6 billion kilograms, 0.4% more than the previous year. In 2010, the total grain output in China was 109.28 billion kilograms, 2.9% more than the previous year. China's grain has been stable at more than 1 trillion kilograms for four consecutive years.

This shows that although the fertilizer industry itself is sad, it has not delayed the development of agriculture.

this point is very important. In the history of the development of New China, like the Daqing Oilfield, the fertilizer industry has also given surprise and inspiration to the Chinese people. Listen to the predecessors of the industry, history, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Chemical Industry had been overjoyed. When the new China was founded, China's annual output of chemical fertilizers was only 0.6 tons (or equivalent), which was close to zero. At the time, Premier Zhou proposed a grain production increase request to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Agriculture had the condition that fertilizer must be able to keep up. This sentence deeply stung the Ministry of Chemical Industry. To this end, the Ministry of Chemical Industry clenched his teeth and mobilized the best cadres to tackle the problem, and finally put fertilizer production out in just a few years. Since then, China's fertilizer industry has no longer been hindered by China's agriculture.

If in the era of planned economy, it can be said that the grain harvest is big, and the fertilizer industry has accomplished its task with glory. But now it is a market economy. The fertilizer industry needs to fulfill this “political mission” to ensure production increase, and it must also ensure its own survival and development. In other words, the most important task of the fertilizer industry is to adapt to the market as soon as possible and develop itself in the market. This task may be more difficult to accomplish than the "political task" of the year. In particular, on behalf of the members of this year, the representative committee members put forward more stringent demands on fertilizers as a special commodity for reasons such as land security, environmental safety, and food safety. Only by completing the structural adjustment as soon as possible can the fertilizer industry meet the new requirements of agriculture and the entire national economy. There is a song to sing, without experiencing storms, how to see the rainbow, no one can succeed casually. The market awareness of the fertilizer industry may be later than other industries, but after two years of beatings, I believe that in the next five years, the industry will be able to create more glories and surprise the Republic again!
