January 1 this year, China - ASEAN Free Trade Area was set up. Today, in this present world's largest free trade zone, the gradual formation of a nearly 6 trillion gross domestic product, 4.5 trillion of total economic trade market, its huge chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural Information promising market potential for the industry. Recently, the reporter on China's fertilizer business development opportunities in the ASEAN interview with China - ASEAN agricultural Chamber of Commerce Vice President, Group Vice President Guo Yanmin middle peasants.
Guo Yanmin to reporters, most ASEAN countries and China, as are the typical agricultural country, fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural products is increasing. In recent years, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and other ASEAN countries, imports from China, a large number of chemical fertilizer, farm machinery, pesticides, raw materials and other products. Because the original has a better basis for cooperation, in the China - ASEAN free trade zone was established, the Chinese fertilizer has been successfully opened markets in the ASEAN countries, especially urea products, successfully replaced the Russian and Middle East market share in most of ASEAN.
Some higher value-added in the ASEAN, the competitive market has emerged in China fertilizer fertilizer companies and products figure. First 4 months of this year's export statistics, China's top five export fertilizer countries, there are four ASEAN countries. Although many ASEAN countries are agricultural country, but its fertilizer industry started relatively late, generally lag behind technical level, require significant imports from abroad. To Vietnam, for example, its current annual output of 1 million tons of urea only, 250 tons of compound fertilizer, far from its domestic fertilizer needs, therefore having to import urea 1.5 million per year to 180 million tons, 700,000 tons of DAP , compound fertilizer 200,000 tons.
        ASEAN as a huge agricultural market bullish, many large-scale fertilizer producers have entered the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and one after another to buyers from the ASEAN market. Guo Yanmin said that the ASEAN countries, China's high concentration of phosphate and compound fertilizer with strong competitiveness. For Chinese enterprises, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in the domestic sales of comparable sales to get more economic benefits. The southwestern high concentration compound fertilizer enterprises, compared with similar enterprises, but also has many obvious advantages: on the one hand, from the port near the factory, to facilitate exports of transportation; the other hand, has the advantage of location as easy to communicate with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations seller . Currently a number of high concentration compound fertilizer enterprises in China have identified the main export of ASEAN, the domestic secondary market strategy. Guo Yanmin proposed conditional domestic enterprises can choose the next step of the ASEAN countries, high concentrations of phosphate and compound fertilizer production and investment. At the same time, companies have to tap their own potential to expand production scale, lower production costs and further improve product quality to enhance the product competitiveness in the ASEAN market.
        Guo Yanmin, as China-ASEAN cooperation between the deepening of the fertilizer industry, some Chinese enterprises have started to pay attention, and research in resource exploitation and cooperation with ASEAN countries, as many ASEAN countries, resources are more abundant. Such as Thailand, Laos is rich in potassium resources. East of Nakhon Ratchasima in Thailand plateau is rich in potash resources, the internal structure of the plateau simple, flat, large potash deposit, and extends to neighboring Laos. Among them, the classes in that empty area recoverable ore reserves of approximately 83.4 million tons of potassium; Sakhon Nakhon Basin Houdon Tani K 25 million tons of rock salt have been determined to contain 25% of 16 million tons of potassium hydroxide.
        China's current middle peasants and other corporate mineral exploration Company Limited has signed a contract and the Lao government, mining and processing of agricultural wave Laos Khammouane Province County County, and his song potash, mining rights for 30 years, the mining area of 35 square kilometers, off volume of 104.4 million tons of pure potassium chloride resources. Currently a project will be put into production, has begun construction of Phase II will ultimately build three million tons / year scale potash project. The project had been in the two governments attach great importance to the old, known as China's agricultural enterprises in the ASEAN market, "going out" strategy of benchmarking. 
        Guo Yanmin that China's fertilizer business and the ASEAN countries should continue to expand areas of cooperation, the ASEAN countries, such as chemical fertilizers involved in building reserves, as Chinese companies in this area has some successful experience. In addition, China should also rely on phosphate fertilizer and compound fertilizer, and other leading products, businesses and the ASEAN countries to promote the appropriate resources and markets leading chain in the development of resources - processing - sale of interregional trade flows generated, the resulting comparative advantage and the most good trade cooperation, expand trade with the ASEAN countries, to better explore the ASEAN market.
