    Investigate and interview the urea and compound fertilizer markets in Hebei and Shandong.
    The reporter learned that affected by the decline in agricultural product prices, farmers in the two regions are not very enthusiastic about buying fertilizer, and sales have declined compared to previous years.
    In the interview, some distributors reported that the price of compound fertilizers will rise slightly in the future, but there are also distributors who believe that compound fertilizers will usher in a new round of price cuts, because the current export price of ammonium phosphate in my country is 450 yuan/ton lower than the domestic sales price, and the export price is US$350/ton, which is converted into an ex-factory price of 2000 yuan/ton, while the domestic ex-factory price is 2400-2500 yuan/ton.
    In addition, dealers and farmers have felt that the price of chemical fertilizers has been reduced.
    Although the price of urea will not fluctuate sharply in the later stage, if the price of ammonium phosphate is reduced in a new round, it will be difficult for compound fertilizers to stand up.
    Some dealers reported to reporters that the current large compound fertilizer manufacturers are dominated by small compound fertilizer manufacturers.
    Although large manufacturers are willing to price, small manufacturers will only produce when there is demand in the market.
    Generally, they purchase raw materials instantaneously.
    The costs reflected are all instantaneous costs.
    When selling, they also refer to the current cost price and the quotation of large manufacturers.
    Pricing.
    In addition, small manufacturers often choose low-priced raw materials when purchasing raw materials, and will not consider large-brand raw materials.
    What is more, some small manufacturers steal the content, and the price is basically slightly lower than that of the large manufacturers.
    The above reasons have formed a kind of price kidnapping by small manufacturers against large manufacturers.
    Regarding corn prices, some dealers believe that corn prices are unlikely to rise, and they will even face a new round of price plummets.
    Because of the large price gap between domestic corn and imported corn, the arrival price of imported corn in the United States in 2014 and 2015 was US$172.
    04/ton and US$186/ton respectively, which is equivalent to less than 0.
    6 yuan/kg, while domestic corn’s purchase and storage prices are upside down.
    900 yuan/ton, the pressure is very high.
    Fortunately, my country’s corn import quota is only 7.
    2 million tons.
    If it is fully liberalized, corn growers will suffer very large losses.
    At present, the country is promoting the marketization of corn prices, or changing prices to subsidize farmers’ lives.
    my country’s cotton has also experienced this kind of reform before, but after the reform, cotton prices have been at a low level.
    If the country implements corn prices after the “two sessions” The subsidy was changed to direct subsidy, and a new round of plunge in corn prices can be expected.
