In February 16th 2015, fertilizer Tariff Scheme officially released by the Tariff Commission of the state council. Overall, in 2015 compared to chemical fertilizer export tariff policy in 2014 to further easing, especially to cancel the season difference tariff system, adopts the uniform tariff system, according to 80 yuan / ton levied urea, monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate by 100 yuan / ton levy, which will have a profound impact on the future of the chemical fertilizer market.

Since the beginning of 2005, take seasonal tariff difference system of our country to levy export tariffs of fertilizer, different in different seasons, the first is the pure natural quarter according to division, each quarter tax rate is not the same; after the development of differentiated by the pale busy season, fertilizer season high export tariffs in domestic, to guarantee domestic supply; in the domestic fertilizer off-season when the export tariff is low, may be appropriate to export.

The seasonal differences in tariff rates played a great role on the protection of the domestic fertilizer market supply, we can effectively prevent the season fertilizer prices from rising too fast, to better protect the interests of farmers. But with the rapid amplification of the domestic fertilizer production capacity, exacerbated the contradiction between supply and demand of market, the negative effect of this approach is also beginning to show. The main reason is the low tariffs, off-season time is short, generally only 4 months, long season high tariffs, while the demand for the domestic chemical fertilizer market Co., large capacity needed to digest through exports, resulting in low quantities of chemical fertilizer export tariff period like a swarm of bees, which provides conditions for foreign businessmen short Chinese fertilizer products. Each to the arrival of low tariff period China, international fertilizer prices drop, the domestic chemical fertilizer only in low-priced exports to the international market, price increments, not only make the enterprise benefit guarantee, also make the national tax and interests.

In this situation, the domestic chemical fertilizer industry has been calling for the removal of fertilizer season differential tariff system, a switch to a year-round uniform tariff, not to foreign provide short Chinese fertilizer product opportunities. 2015 fertilizer tariff scheme adopted this rationalization proposals, fertilizer industry is a major event.

In 2015 the new tariff scheme for good of the fertilizer industry is obviously. Although the urea, ammonium phosphate off-season export tax increase than in 2014 1 times, but the busy season when the tax is reduced greatly, reduce the cost of 100 yuan / tons of urea, ammonium phosphate reduce costs more than 200 yuan / ton. But the season time itself than the off-season for a long time, so the whole, is a significant reduction in tariff. More importantly, the whole year is a tariff free export, enterprises can according to the international market, can be adjusted flexibly in two international and domestic market, greatly enhance the initiative. It is expected that in 2015 China's fertilizer exports will further increase, at the same time, due to lower the cost of exports, the benefit of the enterprise is also expected to be promoted, which on the current predicament of the fertilizer industry is undoubtedly the timely assistance.

But also should see, tariff policy good just offers the possibility to increase exports, to realize the true increase in exports also depends on the improvement of China fertilizer industry competitiveness in the international market. Now the international fertilizer production is still growing, competition is intense. Using urea as an example, in 2015 the international urea market new capacity delivery continues, Indonesia's new 600000 tons / year of urea plant, and is ready to increase exports in early 2015; Saudi Arabia stop 1250000 tons / year of urea plant production plan in 2015 February and Algeria is ready to export urea; in early 2015 the export of large granule urea; an annual export volume of Egypt 660000 tons / year of large granule urea plant will resume production at the end of this year. The Middle East and other regions in the construction of large ammonium phosphate plant.

In addition, some companies see the tariff of good, may also ready to new thought on fertilizer device. In October 8th, State Council executive meeting decided, the cancellation of the fertilizer investment project approval, to record management. In the future, new chemical fertilizer project, will rely more on the enterprise self decision. China's fertilizer industry excess capacity, since last year, fertilizer prices fell sharply, many enterprises are in loss situation, even though there are at present the tariff of good, also can make the enterprise operating conditions have improved, the economic benefit of a substantial improvement in little possibility. If you simply see the tariff of good, not the reality of a careful analysis, blindly to a project is very unwise. (Zhou Heping)
