Abstract
Fertilizer, as one of the fundamental materials for the development of Chinese
national economy, its output value accounts for 20% of the chemical industry.
In the first half of 2008, along with the sharp price raise of the energy and
raw materials both at home and abroad, the fertilizer price also increased
sharply. The fertilizer output reached over 30 million tons in china, up 5.9%
compared to the same period in 2007; moreover, the apparent consumption
amounted to more than 28 million tons with a growth rate above 5%.
In addition to the potassium fertilizer, China is a net exporter of urea and
phosphate, however, since the implementation of the special export tariff, the
fertilizer production has been certainly affected and the fertilizer export
has been greatly reduced. Starting from Sep. 1st 2008, 150% extra export
tariff was levied on the urea, which would not only restrain the urea export
in H2 2008, but also might reduce the prospective production capacity during
2009-2011.
Based on the authoritative statistics from the State Information Center and
the National Bureau of Statistics of China, this report makes an in-depth
analysis of the status quo, the development trend and related policies of
China' s fertilizer industry. In addition, it also analyzes the development of
some key fertilizer manufacturers and predicts the future development of the
fertilizer industry.
