Compound fertilizer is a chemical fertilizer that contains two or more nutrient elements in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Compound fertilizer has the advantages of high nutrient content, less by-components and good physical properties, which plays a very important role in balanced fertilization, improving fertilizer utilization rate and promoting high and stable yield of crops.
There are many kinds of fertilizer in the broad sense, including inorganic fertilizer, mixed Hefei, organic fertilizer and microbial fertilizer, of which compound fertilizer belongs to a large number of inorganic fertilizer element fertilizer.
Yield analysis of compound fertilizer production enterprises
From the output proportion of major enterprises, the top enterprises in China's compound fertilizer production capacity are new Yangfeng, Yuntu Holding, Stanley, Shi Kefeng, Heart to Heart, Ezhong Ecology, Sinochem fertilizer, Kim Jong Da, Yuntianhua, Kaizen and so on. The above enterprises account for nearly 60% of the total output of compound fertilizer in China, and have considerable production capacity. Among them, Xinyangfeng has formed an annual production capacity of about 9 million tons of all kinds of high-concentration compound phosphate fertilizer, nearly 5 million tons of phosphogypsum comprehensive utilization, and 3.2 million tons of low-grade phosphate ore washing capacity. Yuntu Holding has 13 compound fertilizer production companies, 7 tower granulation production lines, more than 30 fertilizer production lines, with an annual output of 5.5 million tons of various types of compound fertilizer, and the production capacity, sales and brand position of the compound fertilizer industry have been ranked the first camp in the industry. Stanley has 12 production sites with an annual production capacity of 5.32 million tons.
Analysis of regional contradiction between supply and demand
From the perspective of midstream production capacity of compound fertilizer, the annual production capacity of China's compound fertilizer industry is mainly distributed in Shandong, Hubei, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Anhui and Henan provinces, accounting for 36.1%, 19.1%, 8%, 7.5%, 7.5%, 6.6%, respectively. The reason is that the above provinces are close to the upstream raw material market and the end consumer market.
From the perspective of regional distribution of compound fertilizer application amount in China, the application distribution of compound fertilizer in China is relatively wide, mainly in large agricultural provinces and resource-based provinces and cities. The top five agricultural compound fertilizer usage in China are Henan, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Anhui and Hebei, which accounted for 47.06% in total.
It can be seen that there is a certain regional contradiction between the production capacity distribution of compound fertilizer in the middle reaches and the downstream application market. Taking Northeast China as an example, there is a large demand for compound fertilizer in Northeast China, and the production capacity is relatively limited, so external transportation is needed to make up for the demand.
The compound fertilizer is usually used by road and rail transport, road transport is suitable for short distance transport, high transport flexibility, but the transport radius is small, the transport price is high, usually the radius is within 500 kilometers (radius refers to the most reasonable transport cost distance); Railway transport is suitable for long-distance transport, transport radius of 1,000 km, its characteristics of large transport volume, but limited to the route and site conditions, while railway transport loading and unloading costs are higher, and the need for road + railway supporting transport, the overall cost is higher, railway transport is suitable for long-distance transport, the farther the distance, the lower the unit cost (although in some cases, For example, 500-700 km distance transport, the cost of road transport will be slightly lower than the cost of railway transport, but from the market feedback, usually more than 500 km railway transport is more timeliness guarantee, long-distance transport, railway is rarely affected by bad weather and shut down, and road transport, in bad weather environment can not be transported, especially in the farming season. Farmers' demand for fertilizer has strong timeliness requirements, so under the transportation distance of 500-700 kilometers, even if the road transportation cost is slightly lower than the railway transportation cost, users are more willing to choose railway transportation to avoid delays in the timeliness of transportation due to environmental impacts such as weather. To sum up, there are many problems such as high cost and long transportation cycle in long-distance transportation from external areas.
END
At present, the domestic compound fertilizer market has the characteristics of high market concentration and regional supply and demand contradiction. From the future trend, the market concentration of the compound fertilizer industry will remain at a high level, subject to the consideration of the production cost of compound fertilizer, the production place should be as close as possible to the origin of raw materials, and the regional contradiction between supply and demand of compound fertilizer will still exist in the short term.
