In order to promote the sales of electronic business, Guangxi recently a well-known compound fertilizer manufacturers to each packet of 105 yuan (50 kg, the same below) of retail sales price 45% spraying of sulfur based compound fertilizer, in the local caused great repercussions.
Some people say that this price is too low, the local same content, the same ratio of sulfur based compound fertilizer retail price basically in more than 130 yuan. Urea is sold at a loss, if you take the urea together to sell, the price of compound fertilizer should be higher. These people believe that this is the compound fertilizer manufacturers themselves hit their own feet. Also some people believe that the compound fertilizer price is also normal, because now elemental fertilizer prices are very low, ammonium bicarbonate per package of $34, P 27 yuan, 82 yuan urea, potash 142 yuan, farmers can the elemental fertilizer to buy back, oneself with compound fertilizer. According to the elemental fertilizer prices, fertilizer should be the price.
Nearly ten or twenty years of domestic compound fertilizer production and sales by leaps and bounds. Compound fertilizer has its obvious advantages: first, nutrient comprehensive, high utilization rate. Nutrient composite fertilizer evenly, not only for crops provide good nutrients, give full play to the nutritional elements between the interaction, but the nutrient release balance, stable fertilizer, utilization rate is higher than the elemental fertilizer. Two is easy to use. Compound fertilizer granule solid, clean, uniform size, ceiling humidity is small, easy to storage and use, is suitable for the application of mechanization, also is convenient for manual applicator. Three is the handling cost is low. Compound fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium of three elements, the application of fertilizer is equivalent to nitrogen fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and potassium fertilizer in three kinds of fertilizer are applied, handling costs substantially reduced, in now rural young mostly migrant workers, mainly for the cultivation of the older elderly, this is very popular. It is precisely because of the advantages of compound fertilizer, compound fertilizer is more and more big, elemental fertilizer dosage is reduced gradually, so compound fertilizer price was significantly higher than that of elemental fertilizer. Before 45% chlorine based compound fertilizer and the content of 46% of urea prices almost, now more than 20% compound fertilizer.
The author believes that now the profitability of the compound fertilizer enterprises to far better than the elemental fertilizer enterprises, urea manufacturers loss a lot, and loss of compound fertilizer enterprises rarely, some large compound fertilizer manufacturers profit in Lida hundreds of millions of dollars. Compound fertilizer industry investment is small, profit is considerable, make its capacity increases quickly. However, the advent of the era of competition, the future is expected to be more and more compound fertilizer prices will be more and more, the overall industry profit margins will fall.
