At the beginning of the new year, people with a feeling of joy for the 2018, however, the situation in Hefei is complex like the recent ice frost weather, very cold, the majority of compound fertilizer enterprises to take the goods stalled, motionless, rigid in the face of such a situation, the next compound fertilizer enterprises how to break the deadlock?
First of all, the price of raw materials fluctuates frequently, and the price of compound fertilizer enterprises is difficult to be stable. The new year so far, the price changes of potassium and phosphorus is only slightly potassium chloride price trend, but the price of urea mixed, high consolidation, small granular urea in Shandong rivers area the factory price from 2000 yuan / ton down to the current 1960 yuan / ton, the rate of decline in the 40 yuan / ton. The price of raw materials kept fluctuations caused by winter storage compound fertilizer price change again, go up again, the downstream preparation fertilizer also fall shilly-shally mentality, the phenomenon of recent price of urea and compound fertilizer a ferocious rally more punch and was lower on the current high-end price of fertilizer is very difficult to accept, urea prices fall, let fertilizer fertilizer reserves slowed downstream of winter, increasingly strong wait-and-see attitude.
Secondly, the high end price is not accepted and the operation of the enterprise is blank. With raw material prices continue to rise, the price of compound fertilizer enterprises continue to be pushed up, with 45% sulfur based compound fertilizer general for example, the current price has rocketed to 2400-2500 yuan / ton, even high-end price at around 2700 yuan / ton, the price is so high that the downstream market away, after all the early (especially in October 2017 -11 month) downstream reserves of low-cost supply has not been digested, the local area in the south of early low-cost supply has reserves of more than half of the Central Plains region also reserves into about 3-4, only the Northeast winter reserves fertilizer progress is slow, the market price is even lower than the wholesale manufacturers of ex factory price, so the price of high-end compound fertilizer enterprises very difficult the receipt of payment, in view of this, part of compound fertilizer enterprises had to stop the quotation, stop the collection, the primary pre order price. The business manager of a chemical fertilizer enterprise in Hubei said, "perhaps blank quotes are more conducive to the current receivables of the enterprise than the high end quotations."
Finally, the downstream demand is not good, and the market needs to be promoted. According to the usual practice, 1-2 months should be ahead of the Northeast winter reserve fertilizer during the Spring Festival, because of poor transportation, after March, the local market sales have already begun, but this year the Northeast preparation fertilizer progress is very slow, the preparation of fertilizer is less, compared with last year, an increase of up to 300-400 yuan of compound fertilizer / ton, such a high rate of the downstream is difficult to digest, but silently wait-and-see, so late in the Northeast surplus market space is still large, how to promote the market needs to start, is a comparison of scratching compound fertilizer enterprises problem, but the market is also cheap raw materials, a large part of the compound fertilizer enterprises upfront reserves in recent years is lower than the market mainstream quotation products to win a share of the market, so that the compound fertilizer market this year is a few happy tears. However, the supply of cheap goods is limited. Under the double pressure of supply side reform and environmental protection, the chemical fertilizer industry is going step by step. The compound fertilizer enterprises should seize the opportunity to find their way to break through the deadlock.
