"Time and again come out, partly veiled", with this description is now off-season reserves of chemical fertilizers mechanism again appropriate. On the one hand, in recent years the off-season reserves of chemical fertilizers mechanism start time become later and later, by the previous June postponed to this year the end of the 10; on the other hand, due to the effect of the implementation of more and more poor, was forced to start reducing operation, such as the provisions of this year is the main storage enterprises reduction 20%~25%. Light storage mechanism activated so hard and late, and implementation of such a force, the foot has showed its role increasingly weak, appeal.

In 2005, the national development and Reform Commission and other departments for the stability of the national chemical fertilizer production and supply considerations, issued a "fertilizer off-season commercial reserves management measures", the general requirements is the enterprise reserve, bank loans, government subsidized, market operation, self financing, account management, public bidding. The system design is everything, rack one's brains. At first, the move in the fertilizer market demand and supply adjustment season really played a positive role in the reserves, the highest rise to 18000000 tons in 2013. However, over the past 9 years, with the domestic fertilizer significant excess production capacity, great changes have taken place in the production and circulation, the defects of this system gradually.

First of all, under the guise of off-season reserves of chemical fertilizers has become part of the storage enterprises to obtain bank loans "". At present, fertilizer enterprises financing generally difficult and expensive, and once got the short storage index, not only can easily obtain bank loans, also can get a discount government, can shoot two hawks with one arrow. In fact, many of the storage enterprises obtain financing and not remember our mission, but are still keen to fertilizer storage in and out, and conventional billing means to accomplish the subject matter of "displacement" and "easy advocate". Visible, light storage has entered into a virtual operation state, by some enterprises into their own hands, the final result is only is not short off-season, busy season.

Secondly, off-season reserves of chemical fertilizers system hamper the market allocation of resources. Light storage perverse, after performing effect, its negative impact will inevitably affect the market. At present, the largest domestic light storing fertilizer urea production capacity has exceeded 80000000 tons, in excess of production capacity of about 20000000 tons, including part of this should be eliminated in the backward production capacity still linger. Obviously, to make this part of the backward production capacity to survive, will drag the entire industry technical progress of the hind legs, is not conducive to play a decisive role in the market in the allocation of resources. In fact, the bulk of surplus products also need to accelerate the process of marketization, the survival of the fittest, to give full play to the role of the law of value.

Once again, the light storing fertilizer would easily lead to enhancement tools, but caused by market instability. In the market, any business can hope that through low-cost, high priced purchase shipping profit, so is the chemical fertilizer circulation enterprises. According to the general laws of the market, when the coming season, chemical fertilizer price of natural down, until the fall to circulation enterprises deemed to have good prospects of gain, natural will purchase reserve; when the season, production steel, fertilizer prices may appear seasonal irrational rise, at this time the circulation enterprises throw light fertilizer storage, can stabilize fertilizer prices, can also make a profit. Smooth season fertilizer price trajectory, it can be said is the original intention of the system of light storage. But the reality is, the off-season, even fertilizer price low, few storage enterprises figure; and when the fertilizer market once the warmer streams of people busily coming and going, storage army immediately appeared, this kind of centralized operation will undoubtedly add fuel to the flames of fertilizer price; when the market slightly Wind sways grass., storage enterprises often immediately transfer short the price hit or help, become the main force.

Visible, now off-season reserves of chemical fertilizers mechanism of the "reservoir" function has been basically all gone, "stabilizer" function also gradually disappear, now in the deepening of market-oriented reform background, its value of existence the question mark. If you want to continue to hold, this mechanism it is necessary to deepen the reform. The national development and Reform Commission issued "on the reform of chemical fertilizer price formation mechanism of the notice", emphasizing the market principle of fertilizer pricing. For fertilizer products, regardless of how policy changes, reduce administrative intervention, let the market mechanism to further maximize the role, should be a big trend. (Wang Yunli)
