May 6th, the reporter along with fertilizer supply side reform research group and a party walked into Jiangsu Huachang Chemical Stock company. The company told the research team, called on the government to further optimize the fertilizer export policy, the resumption of export tax rebate policy. This issue has aroused great attention of the research group, and we have discussed the logic of the policy and the path of policy adjustment.
The general manager of Jiangsu Huachang Group Chairman, Huachang Chemical Co. Ltd. Hu Bo pointed out that in the main domestic agricultural products, agricultural machinery, pesticides and do not export tariffs; in the export of value-added tax on the export of agricultural pesticide varieties most full tax refund, refund, refund is not plastic but exports as domestic sales in the processing of agricultural tax; trade policy and agricultural films allowed to import and export of processing trade, only some varieties of pesticides banned the export of processing trade. In contrast, the awkward position of much fertilizer, although the state canceled the export tariff on urea, ammonium phosphate and other departments varieties, but not all the fertilizer export tax rebate, and VAT, processing trade and country banned all varieties of fertilizer.
"In fact, in the main agricultural products, China's chemical fertilizer industry has the most comprehensive advantages and is the most competitive in the world. To support superior production capacity and go out to participate in international competition, it is necessary to make corresponding adjustment arrangements on the export and other supporting policies, and appropriately give deregulation at the right time." Hu Bo says.
It is understood that China's fertilizer production capacity is large, and the overall situation is surplus, especially compound fertilizer annual capacity of nearly 2 tons, the current capacity utilization rate of only 30%. 2017 year, three yuan of NPK compound fertilizer export 20% tariffs, although since July 1st the fertilizer export VAT is reduced from 13% to 11%, but the export taxes and restrictions is still the most important agricultural products.
"Not because of the fertilizer industry development, compressive ability, policy guidance from the past to support all of a sudden become a head-on blow. No matter from which side, there is no reason not to end a bowl of water, export treatment of fertilizer industry like other agricultural products as the recovery of the export tax rebate. Moreover, China's excess fertilizer capacity will exist for a long time, in normal years, in order to maintain relatively surplus capacity, advanced production capacity device start-up rate, it is also necessary to divert some of the fertilizer production capacity for export." Hu Bo points out.
According to the reporter, hold the same opinions in the chemical fertilizer industry enterprises, in addition to Huachang Chemical is not a few, especially large enterprises and the strongest voice of urea ammonium phosphate enterprises.
According to the Huachang Chemical Assistant General Manager, strategic development department minister Li Haofeng introduced, according to the investigation, in the "The Belt and Road along the country to promote the fertilization technology promising, and export tariffs for three yuan fertilizer is a major obstacle to the. Therefore, he suggested that the state should promptly abolish the export tariff of three yuan compound fertilizer, and allow the processing trade to import potash fertilizer raw materials and export three yuan compound fertilizer finished products. Moreover, the energy consumption of compound fertilizer production process is not high, it should also be listed as deep-processing products to encourage its exports.
In view of this situation, Huachang Chemical companies reflect, Sinopec association director Zhu Fang, information and market analysis, the enterprise reflects the situation is very constructive, worthy of further study. From a policy perspective, tighten the export policy of the state of the fertilizer export, may be out of the three main concerns: one is that if a large number of chemical fertilizer exports, domestic agricultural fertilizer production is guaranteed, the price will soar; the two is like a swarm of bees will bring about exports, resulting in the elimination of backward production capacity of three fertilizer resources is halted; security is still not strong ability of domestic potash, potash still requires a lot of imports, if the release of compound fertilizer export will bring about a shortage of potash increased. All these problems need to consider, find a reasonable and feasible way to achieve.
