Last year, chemical fertilizer production hit another record high

According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2010 China produced a total of 66.198 million tons of chemical fertilizers (purchased, the same below), an increase of 2.52% year-on-year, and a record high.

According to statistics, from January to October 2010, China’s net export of chemical fertilizers increased 1.28 million tons year-on-year, which is expected to increase by about 2.2 million tons throughout the year; in terms of output, China’s fertilizer production in 2010 increased by 1.63 million tons over the previous year, which is equivalent to increasing chemical fertilizers. The physical quantity is about 3.5 million tons, indicating that the supply of chemical fertilizers for spring plowing this year has increased by 1.3 million tons compared with last year. On the whole, although China's fertilizer exports were large in the second half of last year, due to the increase in domestic fertilizer production, there will be no major problems in the supply of domestic chemical fertilizers this spring and the supply will be guaranteed.

What is most noteworthy is that urea output fell the most in the past year, with a reduction of 4.328 million tons. Last year, China’s total urea export volume reached 7.025 million tons, a record high, which was 3.646 million tons more than the 3.379 million tons in 2009, an increase of 107.9%. The reduction in output, coupled with an increase in exports, is equivalent to a reduction of nearly 8 million tons of domestic supply. However, due to the large capacity of urea in our country, if the supply of raw materials such as coal, gas, and electricity can be fully guaranteed, urea production will remain at a relatively high load, and the average national urea output will remain above 5 million tons per month. The supply of urea produced can be basically guaranteed.

According to statistical data, Shandong continues to regain the country’s largest fertilizer production province. In 2010, the fertilizer output was 9.77 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 11.58%, accounting for 14.8% of the country’s total fertilizer production in 2010. This was followed by Hubei, Sichuan, Henan, and Guizhou. In 2010, the output of chemical fertilizers was 8.99 million tons, 5.1 million tons, 4.39 million tons, and 3.85 million tons respectively, an increase of 12.04%, 8.86%, -20.75%, and 17.87% over the previous year respectively. The top five fertilizer-producing provinces accounted for 48.5% of the country's total fertilizer output.

From the perspective of varieties, the growth rate of phosphate fertilizer production was the largest. In 2010, China produced a total of 17.014 million tons of phosphate fertilizer, which was a year-on-year increase of 20.2%; followed by potassium fertilizer, with a production of 3.968 million tons in 2010, a year-on-year increase of 12.7%; and nitrogen fertilizer production declined. 2010 The annual output was 45.211 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 3.6%, mainly because the price in the first half of the year was too low, and in the second half of the year, it encountered energy-saving and emission reduction, which led to a drop in the operating rate of nitrogen fertilizer companies.

From the perspective of subdivided varieties, in 2010, the total amount of synthetic ammonia produced was 49.632 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 2.4%; the physical quantity of urea was 5.5722 million tons, a decrease of 4.328 million tons from the previous year, a year-on-year decrease of 7.3%, which was the largest drop in percentage; The amount of ammonium phosphate fertilizer was 23.29 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 28.6%; ** The amount of phosphate fertilizer was 1,0766,000 tons, an increase of 2.9% over the same period of last year.
