According to the statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the converted fertilizer output of China in January-July 2018 was 32.818 million tons, down 5.98% year on year. As can be seen from the following chart, January-July production in each month were lower than the same period of the previous year, with the largest drop to 13.49% in January-February and the smallest drop to nearly 3% in April.

The yield of N and P fertilizers decreased compared with the same period of last year except that of K fertilizer. Among them, the yield of potassium fertilizer was 3.328 million tons, an increase of 2.5% over the same period of last year; the cumulative output of nitrogen fertilizer was 21.529 million tons, a decrease of 7.99% over the same period of last year, while the urea output of its products was 15.163 million tons, a decrease of 6.77% over the same period of last year. The cumulative output of phosphate fertilizer was 7.9683 million tons, down 4.67% year-on-year. The output of monoammonium phosphate decreased year-on-year, while that of diammonium phosphate increased by 1.1%.

From the regional point of view, from January to July 2018, China's chemical fertilizer output converted to more than one million tons of provinces and cities are mainly Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Qinghai and Xinjiang. Among them, Hubei has the largest output, with a net yield of 4.05 million tons from January to July, followed by Henan and Guizhou, with a net yield of 2.9 million tons and 2.85 million tons, respectively. In addition, more than 2 million tons are produced in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Sichuan. Compared with the same period of last year, the largest decrease was in Hebei Province, with the converted output of 1.11 million tons from January to July, down 24.7% compared with the same period of last year, followed by Sichuan and Xinjiang, with a decrease of more than 10%, the largest increase was in Anhui Province, with an increase of 10.1%, followed by a positive increase in Henan Province, with a rise of 1.9%. .

According to the specific products, the nitrogen fertilizer output mainly distributes in Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Xinjiang and other places. The main production areas of urea are mainly concentrated in Henan, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Shanxi. The output of the four major bases accounts for 54.17% of the total output. In addition, the output of Xinjiang and Hebei is affected this year. Environmental protection and other factors, the decline is more, but because the overall capacity base is larger, the yield is still more than 5%.

The main production areas of_phosphate fertilizer products are still concentrated in Hubei, Yunnan and Guizhou, which account for most of the total output of ammonium phosphate. Affected by environmental protection, output in Hubei and Guizhou decreased slightly in the 1-7 months of this year, but Yunnan's output increased slightly. In other areas, the output is small and the market is less affected.

The production base of potash fertilizer is mainly concentrated in Qinghai and Xinjiang. According to the statistics of the State Statistical Bureau, the output of Qinghai from January to July was 2.2965 million tons, accounting for 68.96 percent of the total output; the cumulative output of Xinjiang was 5.866 million tons, accounting for 17.61 percent of the total output; Shandong and Jiangxi accounted for about 3 percent; other areas accounted for less than 3 percent of the limited number, especially the potassium sulfate plant in Hebei Province, which was affected by environmental protection. The release was limited, and the yield decreased obviously.
