The current into the wheat harvest period, also entered the summer peak of fertilizer, this is the first half of this year, the last wave of large-scale fertilizer. According to the Ministry of Agriculture issued the news, as of June 12th, the country has 273 million acres of winter wheat harvest, wheat harvest progress over 80%; in the autumn sowing wheat harvest at the same time, the country launched simultaneously, summer corn sowing area of more than 100 million acres of rice transplanting area of over 35 million acres (broadcast). Overall, this summer, fertilizer market showed a high nitrogen fertilizer trend, the use of special fertilizer increased, urea prices rose three big characteristics.
First, the trend of high nitrogen compound fertilizer is insipid.
Before the summer fertilizer market has always been the corn high nitrogen compound fertilizer to sing the leading role, but because the corn price is low, the farmer cultivation enthusiasm is not high, the planting area drops, this year some areas high nitrogen compound fertilizer quantity drops 10%. Not only the amount of fertilizer decreased, but also the price in some areas. According to dealers in Anhui, Bozhou, the local summer corn 40% content of high nitrogen compound fertilizer (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, 28%-6%-6%) continued price cuts, the wholesale market price from 1950 yuan (ton price, the same below) dropped to 1850 yuan. This situation is mainly due to the intensified competition in the compound fertilizer market. Now dealers to take goods based, the price placed in second place, coupled with the previous compound fertilizer prices higher, greater profit margins, the price dropped properly, regardless of fertilizer manufacturers or dealers can afford.
Two is peanut fertilizer and other special fertilizer dosage increased.
This year, Henan, Hubei and other places summer sown peanut area increased significantly, peanut special fertilizer demand increased greatly. Henan Nanyang, Dengzhou is the traditional rotation of wheat and Maize in recent years, many farmers abandoned their summer maize, peanut plant, this year to increase the proportion of local area rapidly, reaching 80%. According to the current peanuts 4.4 yuan per kilogram, the average purchase price per acre harvest 500 kg, remove 600 to the cost of 1000 yuan per mu, a quarter revenue of over 1000 yuan, much higher than the corn farmers enthusiasm high.

Most areas of the mainstream factory price of urea rose 30~100 yuan, or nearly 200 yuan in individual regions. The market trend of urea is eye-catching, become the most outstanding fertilizer this summer.
From the local situation, Shandong, Henan, Hebei and other places to start the market earlier, becoming the leading leader in the country's urea prices, factory quotations from the initial minimum of 1450 yuan, up to 1550~1620 yuan. Gansu, Xinjiang, Northeast China coincided with corn, rice, cotton season of dressing, the downstream fertilizer better situation, the market supply of urea shortage, rising prices. Jilin has a factory in a short span of 3 days factory price rose 100 yuan; Inner Mongolia urea manufacturers maintenance, and individual manufacturers of urea production, supply shortage, most of the local brand of urea turnover factory reference price has risen 50 yuan to 1450 ~ 1480 yuan, some northeast supply has risen to 1600 ~ 1630 yuan, sent to Ningxia the ex factory price of 1480 to 1500 yuan.
