In mid-August, after the first wave of hot collection, the autumn fertilizer market into the flat, the new single increase is relatively slow, the majority of enterprises in the implementation of pre-orders, generally can be sent to mid to late August, according to China Fertilizer network is not fully understood, the majority of the market in the first half of the amount of fertilizer in the amount of only 60% -70% of the previous year, then the remaining market demand why not see a large area to start?

First, the raw material costs have increased, why not see compound fertilizer prices rose? Compared with the same period last year, the current price of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium raw materials have increased, especially the price of ammonium phosphate and potassium sulfate also recently rebounded, now Hubei 55% powder in the mainstream of a ammonium factory price in the 1850-1900 yuan / ton, compared with the beginning of July, up 100-150 yuan / ton; affected by environmental protection, potassium sulfate operating rate was significantly lower, the price rebounded, now 50 % Powder mainstream factory price of 2,500 yuan / ton, particles and 52% of all water soluble powder in the 2650-2700 yuan / ton, it is understood that the mainstream transaction in the 2650 yuan / ton, the early 2600 yuan / ton price Has been lost; although the recent sharp drop in urea prices, Shandong Lianghe small particles have dropped to 1450 yuan / ton, but compared with the same period last year, is still at a high level, but this year’s wheat fertilizer prices have not rebounded significantly, the main Is subject to the market demand for light, shipping pressure, etc., so despite the significant increase in the cost of raw materials, and fertilizer companies offer a high profile is not high.

Second, the remaining demand space to be activated, low-frequency fertilizer frequently. After the first wave of collection, the majority of enterprises to cancel the pre-preferential policies, compound fertilizer prices in a slight rise of 30-50 yuan / ton, but the actual guidance is not big, mainly by urea prices fell sharply, Dealers and more stop the pace of fertilizer again, to stay on the sidelines, so most companies are still in the implementation of pre-orders, new single increase in very few (except Anhui, Hubei and other autumn fertilizer demand near the area take a little better, most areas Fertilizer companies are not ideal), at the same time, companies have tried to do a variety of ways to mobilize the needs of the market, some companies introduced low-cost explosive products, some enterprises fried up, intended to rise promotion, but downstream fertilizer Progress did not show significant growth.

Finally, environmental protection is a double-edged sword, pros and cons see each other. After August, the environmental inspection team stationed in the chemical fertilizer companies across the country, especially in Shandong and Sichuan and other regions more stringent, Shandong, the majority of small compound fertilizer enterprises have been shut down, large-scale compound fertilizer companies also reduce operating rates, then some people will ask, To the fertilizer prices rise, this year is also the case? On the one hand under the pressure of environmental protection, compound fertilizer production capacity has been reduced, the local demand for the phenomenon of demand, on the other hand reduce the demand led to the supply did not appear tense state, local land transfer , The field crop to cash crops, fertilizer demand reduction, such as Hebei local wheat planting area to grow vegetables and other economic crops, coupled with food prices are still low, grassroots planting enthusiasm is still not high, so the fall fertilizer demand did not appear hot Grab the phenomenon of goods, then there is no compound fertilizer prices reasons.

On the whole, this year part of the compound fertilizer enterprises are faced with life and death choice, part of the enterprises directly into the long-term parking, part of the enterprise funds shortage, part of the enterprise struggling in the cost line, the main reason is that by raw material prices, environmental protection and other factors, Cost increases, corporate profits are suppressed and thin, and even individual formula is lower than the cost of sale; the other hand, due to market demand, compound fertilizer prices difficult to rise, only wandering in the price line, fertilizer companies walking on the edge, Caught in the survival, and ultimately can see is the effect of compound fertilizer to the real effect of the arrival of the.
