The white paper shows that at present, China's slow controlled release fertilizer is estimated to be about 3 million 150 thousand tons, accounting for 5% of China's compound fertilizer application rate. Compared with the international slow controlled release fertilizer, which is mainly used in the flowers and the grass, one of the biggest characteristics of slow controlled release fertilizer in China is that the slow release fertilizer is widely used in field crops. In 2015, the production of slow controlled release fertilizer was 3 million 300 thousand tons, 90% for field crops, 5% for flowers and grass, and 5% for export.
After ten years of development, China's slow control release fertilizer industry realize the change from "catch-up" to "leader", leading enterprises headlining set the controlled release fertilizer, an international standard, enhance the China's sustained and controlled release fertilizer in the international influence. According to incomplete statistics, China's current major sustained and controlled release fertilizer companies about 50, production capacity is mainly concentrated in North China and other regions.
However, China's slow controlled release fertilizer products are also higher production costs, the international output capacity is weak and other issues. White paper proposals, the state in terms of policy and funding give enterprises more support, from the source to reduce the slow and controlled release fertilizer products price; exploration of slow and controlled release fertilizer and other advanced technologies and products promotion system, mechanism, improve the farmers of sustained and controlled release fertilizer products, cognitive level; introduced to encourage the export and foreign investment preferential policies and measures, to improve the international competitiveness; radiation technology support, to achieve the integration of upstream and downstream, resolve the backward production capacity excess upstream nitrogenous fertilizer enterprises in our country.
