Phosphorus fertilizer industry forced to seize export to prevent the loss of funds

Since April of this year, it has been necessary to regulate and ensure that the inventories of domestic phosphate fertilizer companies that have been produced all year round suffer from the difficulties of export losses. In the period from September to October before the peak of domestic fertilizer use in autumn, large companies such as Yuntianhua Group could only choose to seize the time for export in order to avoid the loss of funds caused by the product backlog.


The more you export, the more you lose.


Because the production of phosphate compound fertilizer has the characteristics of perennial and seasonal sales, in order to ensure annual production, the company will need to adjust through exports in the off-season, and ensure that the production is organized all the year round. At the same time, since around April, the domestic market will enter the off-season sales and stagnation period of fertilizer sales. The market will not start until the autumn. Such a long period of dormancy has to balance the contradiction between production and market dormancy for fertilizer manufacturers. It's hard. In the face of the current rise in domestic prices, the price of chemical fertilizers does not rise, the user's enthusiasm for storing fertilizers is not high, and the severe situation in which the fertilizer sales period is more concentrated. Adjustment through exports is also an important outlet for enterprises.


However, at the end of 2010, the new national fertilizer export policy not only shortened the period of low tariff from 6.5 months to 4 months, but also lowered the export base price. Diammonium phosphate was reduced from 4,000 yuan/ton to 3,400 yuan/ton. . As the benchmark price is too low and limited, according to customs calculations, the ex-factory price of the company is only 2,970 yuan/ton, and it will be 200 yuan per export.


Increased cost of sales blocked


Phosphate compound fertilizer production of raw materials for external dependence, so that the continuous increase in production costs, so that enterprises are worse. Phosphorus compound fertilizer industry as a resource consumption industry, more than 85% of the sulfur needs to be imported from abroad. At present, China's sulphur import CIF has reached US$250 per ton, which is an increase of more than 1,000 yuan from last year, which has doubled the proportion of sulfur in the production cost of DAP, which has increased by about 20% since the end of last year, but the ex-factory price It basically remains unchanged. The domestic phosphorus fertilizer export is blocked and the international phosphate fertilizer market price will be firm, which in turn supports the increase in sulfur prices. Domestic companies can only withstand the dual pressures of sales disruption and rising costs.


Poor logistics access


The export period of enterprises was affected by the constraints of logistics and the export channels were not smooth. The person in charge of the Yuntianhua Group told the reporter that the Group's products are mainly concentrated in Fangcheng, Beihai Port, Guangxi, etc. The export window period coincides with the local rainy season concentration period, and the pressures of the port and logistics are great.


The China Phosphate Fertilizer Association held a meeting of leaders of phosphorus and compound fertilizers in Kunming on August 13. The companies stated that they would overcome all difficulties and stabilize production to meet the needs of domestic customers. However, the distributors have no access to fertilizer, farmers do not purchase, and the company's warehousing capacity and funds are extremely limited. The contradiction may cause serious damage to China's phosphate fertilizer industry, which is still in the recovery period and adjusts the structural transformation period. The industry hopes that relevant departments can take effective measures as soon as possible to ensure the immediate interests of phosphate fertilizer companies.
