In June 7th, the national development and Reform Commission Economic and trade department director Wu Junyang participated in the 2012China fertilizer industry summit said: in view of the current urea market supply shortage, the price is higher, the national development and Reform Commission is to strengthen regulation from import and export, enhance reserve control two respects proceed with, on the market influence. He expected after July, the urea market supply shortage situation will alleviate somewhat, social inventory will increase. If not unexpected, urea prices after July tends to be stable, and is expected to gradually come down to a reasonable interval.

For the urea price strong rise, Wu Junyang thought has its inevitability and certain particularity, there are three main reasons: one is the habit that use fertilizer change sadly, the spring season fertilizer quantity increases, summer fertilizer dosage reduction, the market demand on the release; two is the chemical fertilizer production rising operating costs, including raw materials cost, price, artificial cost, resulting in the release of urea production capacity constraints, the current domestic urea unit go into operation rate of only 80%; three was the international urea market prices, is expected to lead to a rise in the price of domestic exports.

And Wu Junyang said, for the stability of urea market, the national development and Reform Commission still mainly rely on the market means to regulate and guide, and not the administrative intervention. One is to strengthen the import and export regulation. Since July 1st to October 31st in nitrogen export low tariff window period, when urea export will perform a tariff of 7% and 2100yuan / ton benchmark price, when the price of export more than the base price will be imposing progressive tariff; departments will pay close attention to market conditions, according to the possible market changes, make the market regulation plan; together with the customs and other departments to strengthen enterprise export contract verification, to prevent the enterprise take false export price, eluding tariff management, in order to stabilize the domestic fertilizer market and price expectation.

The two is to strengthen the regulation of reserves. According to statistics, as of the end of 4, our country chemical fertilizer off-season reserves of commercial enterprises accumulated into fertilizer38809000 tons, an increase of 4.9%. Wu Junyang points out, in recent years, along with the fertilizer market and price unlock, farmers and dealers to save fertilizer will decline, coupled with the farmer with fertilizer habits change, short-term market fluctuations rate increase, safeguard season fertilizer demand are increasing in difficulty. Therefore, to enhance the country on fertilizer market control ability, need to strengthen fertilizer reserve, rich control means. ( Weng Guojuan )
