"In 2009, phosphate 20% excess capacity, the first 8 months of industrial investment grew 84.5%." China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, Li-Wu recently pointed out.
　　A recent national survey showed that chemical fertilizer production capacity, even though the industry overcapacity serious, many enterprises still have expansion plans. If implemented on schedule, by 2012, of synthetic ammonia and nitrogen new production capacity will reach 7 million tons, 11.07 million tons of urea, urea, total capacity will reach 70 million tons or more, greatly exceed the current 50 million tons of domestic consumption; By 2010, China's phosphate fertilizer total production capacity will reach 19 million tons in 2015 will be expanded to 22 million tons, but also much higher than the current ~ 12 million annual domestic consumption of 13 million tons.
　　Faced with this situation, the China Petrochemical Association, released late last year, "petroleum and chemical structural adjustment guidance" clearly put forward, to improve nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer access threshold to restrict the expansion of low-level production capacity disorder. Focus on developing high-efficiency compound fertilizer, slow release fertilizer such as high-end products to improve supply capacity and high concentrations of potash fertilizer ratio. By 2015, the high concentration of fertilizer to increase the proportion to 85%, fertilizing compound rate of 40%. Adjust industrial layout, to encourage enterprises to implement mergers and reorganization, and enhance industrial concentration. By 2015, fertilizer production in the top 10 enterprises had risen to 50%.
Fertilizer industry development issues highlighted
　　Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning Institute, Li Zhijian, said the Director of fertilizer in recent years, China's nitrogenous fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer than self-sufficient, self-sufficiency rate of potash significantly increased. Significantly improved product structure, high-concentration fertilizers accounted for 75%, compound fertilizer production can basically meet the demand.
　　However, Li Zhijian view, the development of the industry there are still some problems: from the nitrogen of view, one weak manufacturing enterprise resource control, resource prices, "eat" lost a large part of the industry profit, at present, the relative monopoly of anthracite coal, the price firm and natural gas resource constraints, rising pressure. Second, the relative surplus of urea production, export blocked. Third, demand is relatively stable, the growth potential of small. Fourth, large-scale device technology and equipment continue to rely on imports. 5 is the production of enterprises do not control the sales channels, market regulation weak. 6 is a low level of intensification. From the nitrogen fertilizer industry point of view, the whole industry has more than 400 businesses, 40 million tons capacity, with an average capacity of individual enterprises is only 10 million tons.
From the phosphate fertilizer point of view, one of sulfur high dependence on external resources, accounting for 20% of the world total, sulfur resource import dependency by 40% ~ 50%. Second, the relative surplus of phosphate fertilizer production, export blocked. Third, demand from high-growth into the stable period, the growth potential of small.
　　From the potash point of view, one of insufficient resources, imports a large amount of self-sufficiency rate is low. Second, the market controlled by the exporter, the price high. Third, poor resource occurrence, development costs are high. Fourth, slow progress in opening up channels of foreign resources.
　　From a fertilizer point of view, a problem first, emphasis on production, light agricultural services, products can not meet the requirements of precision fertilizer application. The second is the concept of speculation, quite a mixed bag, fake and shoddy products still exist. Third, large manufacturers, small-scale enterprises, marketing costs are high, the country reached more than 2,000 manufacturing enterprises. Fourth, the irrational, raw materials, products of large-scale serious phenomenon, an increase of the transport burden on the community. Disorder in the development of compound fertilizer industry, an increase of farmers use fertilizer costs and affect the healthy development of the industry.
Accelerate the establishment of withdrawal mechanism
　　"At present, the overall face of rising international fertilizer demand and prices return to normal. Energy companies can speed up the construction of fertilizer production capacity, enterprises will be more intense competition. Generally speaking, fertilizer companies," Shier Wu "period of development of situation is fairly severe." Li Zhijian说.
　　Li Zhijian that the fertilizer industry, the direction of industrial restructuring are: to reduce fertilizer production costs, get rid of dependence on high-value raw materials. To improve the product structure, improve fertilizer efficiency, from the pure pursuit of urea, ammonium phosphate fertilizer to increase the development of the appropriate and precise fertilizer and so on. Fertilizer plant to achieve the multi-generation, so that resources to create the greatest economic benefit, such as the ammonia byproduct gas, solid use, wet phosphoric acid, phosphate, gypsum, pyrite, fluorine, brine by-product sodium potassium, magnesium, lithium and other resources comprehensive utilization.
　　From the sub-industry perspective, nitrogen fertilizer industry should continue to push forward industrial restructuring in the energy base and energy-edge large-scale production base of grain and cotton producing construction; priority to support the technological transformation of existing enterprises, increase the nitrogen fertilizer business of raw materials and power restructuring ; achieved 45 million to 800 thousand tons / year large-scale nitrogenous fertilizer equipment made in China. Phosphate fertilizer industry should play in Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan and other provinces phosphorus resources, rational utilization of low grade phosphate rock, continue to improve the phosphate fertilizer base construction; speed up the comprehensive utilization of resources phosphate fertilizer industry projects, and built a number of resource recycling and the use of iron pyrite , the low-grade phosphate acid, phosphate gypsum comprehensive utilization of resources, recycling of fluorine industrial projects; large-scale wet-process phosphoric acid purification equipment and supporting facilities to achieve "fat acid generation" to increase the economic benefits of phosphoric acid plant to deal with the risk of market volatility .
Potash fertilizer industry should further improve the Qinghai, Xinjiang, the construction of the two potash fertilizer base, in the Salt Lake Group, formed by two million tons potassium chloride, CITIC Guoan 1 million tons potassium magnesium fertilizer on the basis of further optimizing the allocation of resources, "Shier Wu" period new potash capacity of 500,000 tons (pure). Start the construction of two potash SDIC Xinjiang Lop Nur, and strive to "Shier Wu," put into operation, adding 700 thousand tons potash fertilizer production capacity (pure). "Shier Wu" period potash fertilizer industry needs to speed up the "going out" pace, and strive to build one million tons potassium chloride overseas production base.
　　Li Zhijian Finally, the development of the fertilizer industry to make a few suggestions: First, improving the export policy, the elimination of export restrictions, to maintain a reasonable proportion of exports. Second, is to improve the preferential policies, the reform of the preferential policies distort the market mechanism, such as transport concessions, such subsidies means to cause the parts are keen on engaging in chemical fertilizer industry. Third, corporate restructuring of careful study given to enterprises to withdraw from the related policies. 4 is the blind expansion of production capacity, especially in large-scale phenomenon of blind expansion of energy companies should be limited.
