The first half of this year, production of raw materials for fertilizer supply, high prices unfavorable situation, fertilizer industries careful organization and deployment, and strive to achieve high and stable yield, better complete the task spring fertilizer, industry in general continued to show steady development trend. 

First, the product yield stable growth 

1-6 months, the country produced 30.624 million tons of fertilizer (pure, the same below), an increase of 8.3%. Which produce nitrogen 21,536,000 tons, an increase of 2.3%; production of phosphate fertilizer 7,173,000 tons, an increase of 29.8%; production of potash 1,914,000 tons, an increase of 17.4%. Overall, the first half of the fertilizer industry to better protect the spring fertilizer completed tasks. 

Second, the economic rise faster 

1-5 months, the fertilizer industry realized a total profit of 14.9 billion yuan, an increase of 76.8%. Which nitrogenous fertilizer industry realized profits of 4.02 billion yuan, an increase of 119.1%; phosphate fertilizer industry realized profits of 1.51 billion yuan, an increase of 117.1%; potash industry realized profits of 3.07 billion yuan, an increase of 45.1%. But the fertilizer industry sales profit rate is still low, there are nearly 1/3 of the nitrogen fertilizer business at a loss situation. 

Third, the funds to invest in continuous optimization 

January to June, the fertilizer industry invested a total of 47.86 billion yuan, an increase of 21.9%, lower than the total fixed asset investment growth rate 3.7 percentage points; construction project 1161, down 13.4%; new projects 654, down 17.1 %. Where serious excess capacity of the phosphate fertilizer industry investment fell 11.2%, down 20.6% construction projects, new projects decreased by 32.9%. Nitrogenous fertilizer industry in the construction projects fell by 30.6% in the case of investment growth of 20.2%, industry oriented towards advanced technology, large-scale installations direction of the trend evident. 

Overall, the first half of the fertilizer industry production and operation situation continues to improve, better security for the completion of the task; spring period, the domestic fertilizer prices below international market more than 300 yuan, reducing farmers' fertilizer costs. But overcapacity phosphate, nitrogen device small scale, low level of technology, low-cost products production capacity and other issues still exist. Departments and enterprises should further intensify its efforts to actively promote fertilizer industry to carry out structural adjustment of raw materials and power, strict control of new phosphate fertilizer production capacity, accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, low-cost supply of fertilizers to enhance support capabilities.
