Now many local farmers have begun to spring land preparation work. But the price of chemical fertilizer is rising all the way, so that many people are not too down-to-earth. The rise in price has also made the recent multi - sector joint document to stabilize the price of chemical fertilizer. Why does the price of chemical fertilizer continue to rise? What is the price of the future?

Farmers in Hebei have been Xianzhao Zhu grain based, he recently found that fertilizer prices began to rise, and the rising trend is obvious:
Zhu Xianchao: I just got the price of fertilizer in different places. Nitrogen fertilizer is urea, ammonium bicarbonate, which is 400 yuan higher than that of last year. The compound fertilizer per ton increased 200 to 300 yuan compared with that of last year. Potash per ton increased by 100 yuan compared with last year.
It is understood that, from 2017 October to now, nitrogenous fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer, compound fertilizer and so on are rising sharply, more than three months, some varieties increase more than 20%, the price of the most eye-catching performance of the fertilizer to nitrogen fertilizer of urea, the soup Philippines told reporters, urea prices rose by 1769 yuan / ton to 2059 yuan / ton, rose 290 yuan per ton. The price of one ammonium rose from 1800 yuan / ton to 2400 yuan / ton, up 600 yuan per ton.
Tang Fei: at present, domestic fertilizer is mainly divided into three elements, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Data monitoring shows that the three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in China increased by 12.3% in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared with the three quarter, up 19.9% over the same period last year. Among them, the increase of mono ammonium phosphate was the largest, the ring rose by 28.14%, up by 34.74% over the same period. Followed by urea, the ring rose by 11.24%, up 23.77% over the same period.
Tang Fei said that the reasons for the rising price of chemical fertilizer are different, mainly related to the shortage of raw materials and the control of national pollution.
Tang Fei: as an example of urea, the urea in the southwestern region is limited to gas, giving priority to the effect of civil use. And phosphate fertilizer, raw phosphorus ore mining rate is low, and Sichuan ore is classified into the Wolong protection area, the goods are tight price. Urea and phosphate fertilizer are the problems in the supply of raw materials. Liquid ammonia is mostly controlled by air pollution, starting low, short spot and high price. Potash prices began from 2017 to October, affected by tensions and traders reluctant to sell cars.
Hebei Zhu Xianchao farmers grow corn and wheat, rising fertilizer prices make him feel that their income is affected.
Zhu Xianchao: it is certainly not a small impact, originally farming is not how to make money, I planted last year per acre of wheat on the compound fertilizer of 150 kg, a bag is 100 pounds, the price is 130 yuan, that is an acre to 195 yuan, the spring irrigation time Topdressing Urea 50 kg per mu last year, each bag of 100 kg of urea. The price is 80 yuan, 40 yuan per mu to 1000 kg per mu, wheat, last year sold 1.04 yuan per kilogram, plus water, pesticide, mechanical, artificial, not much income per mu.
According to the recent situation of fertilizer rise, the national development and Reform Commission jointly issued a notice, requiring all relevant departments to conscientiously implement relevant policies, do well in fertilizer production, supply and price stabilization. At the same time, all localities are required to play the role of reserve fertilizer, and the measures to reserve the chemical fertilizer in advance can be taken in view of the rise in the price. Therefore, the soup Philippines believes that the 2018 spring stage, fertilizer prices should be stabilized.
Tang Fei: southwest gas from urea production is expected to occur in the late, in the production and transportation of credit to give strong support; ensure the spring with the fertilizer, the current price of return to rational, but the local wagon, started there is still a certain gap.
In addition, the circular pointed out that agricultural departments at all levels should strengthen technical guidance services, guide farmers to fertilize rationally and efficiently, reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer and reduce the cost of fertilizer. Last month, Ceng Yande, director of the Department of crop management of the Ministry of agriculture, said in an interview with reporters that in the future, the Ministry of agriculture will integrate and assemble a batch of chemical fertilizer, pesticide reduction and synergistic technology mode.
Ceng Yande: focus on the promotion of deep application of fertilizer, fertilizer and fertilizer with mechanical sowing, fertilizer integration technology, promote the anti rule and green control integration, focusing on research and development of efficient fertilizer, high efficiency and low toxicity pesticide residue, biological fertilizer, biological pesticide and other new products, and actively promote advanced fertilizer spraying machinery, accelerate the development of a number of the strength of technology, social service organizations, explore the rural cooperative finance, agricultural financial leasing, agricultural credit insurance service innovation, carry out power used fertilizers and pesticides zero growth action.
