In 2016 the whole industry to work together through a difficult period, by the cost of support, excess ease and other factors, in 2017 the urea market and corporate profits will be better than last year." This is the reporter from April 24~25, held in Zhengzhou, the nitrogen fertilizer industry in 2017 and the three session of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, the Council of the six information. The meeting also identified seven key industries this year.
China nitrogen fertilizer industry association information and marketing director Wei Yong believes that in 2017 the nitrogen fertilizer industry market and corporate benefits will be better than in 2016, mainly based on three points. First, the industry to further promote the production capacity, excess eased. 2016 total nitrogen production capacity for the first time, the annual production capacity of synthetic ammonia and urea were reduced by 2 million 270 thousand tons and 3 million 530 thousand tons. Two is the raw material prices steadily. Coal prices are expected to remain stable or slightly higher this year, fertilizer prices have been liberalized with natural gas, gas prices are still high. Three industrial urea demand recovery, the relevant chemical products market bullish. Artificial board, melamine operating rate to enhance the operation of thermal power denitration unit load increase, the amount of urea used in vehicles has increased; at the same time, methanol, liquid ammonia and other products are also optimistic about the market value of the urea market pull.
Hubei Yihua group deputy general manager Zhang Xinya also said: "2016 is probably the worst year for nitrogenous fertilizer industry. In the future demand will be reduced, prices will rise, the overall life will be better than last year."
China nitrogen fertilizer industry association chairman Gu Zongqin believes that 2016 is a very difficult year for China's nitrogen fertilizer industry, the total loss of more than the sum of the previous two years, the scale of the following losses. This year, with the capacity to promote the situation will be improved, but the industry is still facing the production capacity, structural adjustment, cost reduction and a series of arduous tasks, the industry must continue to strive for a better future.
The meeting identified the focus of nitrogen fertilizer industry this year, focusing on the production capacity, structural adjustment, technological innovation, energy saving and emission reduction, intelligent manufacturing, integrity system, international exchanges and cooperation, seven jobs. It is understood that the current domestic urea production capacity of 77 million tons, still about $15% surplus. According to the plan, in 2017 there will be 3 million 400 thousand tons of synthetic ammonia, urea production capacity of 3 million tons. In structural adjustment, the nitrogen fertilizer industry will continue to promote the structural adjustment of raw materials, improve the quality of production proportion; while continuing to increase product structure adjustment, the promotion and application of liquid fertilizer to promote value-added fertilizer and using UAN as raw material, the field test of the new fertilizer demonstration work well. In technological innovation, we should strive to expand the sources of technological innovation, improve the incentive mechanism, and create a cultural environment conducive to innovation. At the same time, but also through the technical transformation of energy saving, intelligent manufacturing pilot demonstration, promote the integrity of the system construction, improve the industry as a whole green, intelligent development level.
The focus of the next step Chinese nitrogenous fertilizer industry, petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, Li Shousheng pointed out, hope "to lead out of the nitrogen fertilizer industry structural overcapacity predicament, take the lead on the structure optimization of strategic highland adjustment, to create benefit leading competitive advantage."
