China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association predicts that the supply of nitrogen fertilizer for spring ploughing next year will be guaranteed

"Since the beginning of this year, energy prices have been steadily rising, nitrogen fertilizer companies have increased their cost pressures, production has been subject to certain restrictions, and nitrogen fertilizer stocks in various links have also fallen to a low level

Cost pressure doubled

Since the beginning of this year, as domestic and foreign energy prices have risen sharply, the cost pressure of fertilizer companies has doubled

It is understood that since September, international energy prices have been rising steadily

Rising energy prices are bound to affect the production of nitrogen fertilizer companies

From a domestic point of view, domestic coal prices soared in October.

According to nitrogen fertilizer companies, gas supply contracts for some gas companies in December and January of next year have not been signed, and the price will be determined based on the auction transaction price at that time, and gas price increases will be an inevitable trend

Low inventory levels

According to Gao Li, the deputy secretary-general of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Association, since this year, the output of China's nitrogen fertilizer industry has fallen, and the inventory has been at a low level

　　According to a survey conducted by the Nitrogen Fertilizer Association on December 7, the current operating rate of urea enterprises nationwide was 62.

　　According to Gao Li, the task of China's chemical fertilizer reserve is mainly undertaken by the production and circulation enterprises of the national chemical fertilizer commercial reserve

　　Supply and demand are generally stable

　　According to the forecast of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the demand for fertilizer for the whole year next year is 51.

　　According to Gu Zongqin, 100 million mu of crops will be over-seeded this winter and next spring

　　It is understood that due to insufficient supply of coal and electricity in some areas, fertilizer production has declined recently

　　In view of the severe fertilizer supply situation, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology held a fertilizer industry production operation scheduling symposium on November 12, and emphasized that all regions and units must fully understand that ensuring the supply of fertilizers and the basic stability of prices are important for protecting farmers’ enthusiasm for growing food and maintaining the overall situation of national food security.

　　From the current point of view, it is still at the beginning of spring plowing and fertilizer preparation, and the supply and demand of chemical fertilizers are generally stable
