In new network on February 28, held in Beijing in the spring of 2011, fertilizer market situation analysis will spread the news, with the rise of temperature, ease the drought, around spring fertilizer application launched, chemical fertilizer enterprises are actively organize the production, market provides more nitrogenous fertilizer resources. However, due to rising costs, the market downturn and other factors, the production capacity is not effectively play, the spring of this year, the overall nitrogen market appears tight balance trend.

According to the China nitrogen fertilizer industry association relevant person in charge of Liu Shulan, this spring urea resources quantity change years of growth momentum and showed a trend of decline is expected during the spring of this year the amount of resources only 2681.5 million tons, with the same period in 2008, flat, less than the same period last year 306 million tons, but of market demand but compared to the same period in 2008 improved.

It is understood that under the relevant national policy intervention, the recent use of fertilizer production electricity, gas supply tensions eased, but the raw material supply, prices rose too fast situation has not been fundamentally improved. According to the association of nitrogen fertilizer in February 16th to investigate the situation of enterprises, the situation is not ideal urea, urea production capacity of only 145 thousand tons, production capacity of up to 11 million 850 thousand tons, accounting for 17.9% of total production capacity. Among them, due to high cost, serious losses to insist on production accounted for 44.9% of production capacity; because the lack of gas production accounted for 26.7%; because of lack of electricity production accounted for 9.3%. Nitrogen association analysis, if the production enterprises can not resume production as soon as possible, the spring nitrogen supply situation is not optimistic.

To ensure this spring nitrogen supply and market stability, nitrogen fertilizer industry recommendations: government departments at all levels to help enterprises solve the coal, natural gas, electricity supply, the implementation of chemical fertilizers and raw materials of the railway transport capacity, stable raw materials and electricity prices; no limit to complete light storage tasks bearing storage enterprises focus on the market to buy, avoid fertilizer prices unreasonable increases; at the same time should be try to control light of the fertilizer storing excessive concentration of the market, causing panic in the fat city, resulting in the fertilizer price ups and downs.

In this regard, the national development and Reform Commission deputy director of the economic and Trade Department Wu Junyang said at the meeting, with the arrival of the peak season, the country will be in the supply of raw materials, electricity prices and other aspects of fertilizer enterprises to give strong support. During the spring fertilizer price fluctuations are normal, development and Reform Commission will pay close attention to the current prices of fertilizers, if market prices appear to be extraordinarily rapid growth, will take advertising in advance light manure storage and other measures, to ensure a stable supply of fertilizer.

Li Jie, deputy director of the transportation department of the Ministry of Railways also said that every year with the Ministry of railways, the fertilizer included in the key material transportation, the present day fertilizer shipments amount in 4500 ~ 4600 cars wagon, car needs to meet the rate of 80%. But parts, part time and whereabouts still tight, hope that the fertilizer production and circulation unit and around the railway sector to strengthen communication, build a barrier free information feedback channel, to ensure that during the spring fertilizer transport.

2011 spring fertilizer market situation analysis will be sponsored by the China Association of nitrogen fertilizer industry.
