“The new tariff policy basically shuts down the export of heavy-calcium, nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer, and small-package fertilizers from international hot-selling products last year, but companies are incapable of doing anything.†In mid-February, Guizhou Kaishui Fertilizer Co., Ltd. was in charge of the international market. Wang Difei, general manager assistant of the business, said.
From January 1, 2012, the new export tariff policy for phosphate fertilizers has been implemented for nearly 2 months. The 75% tariff on high-calcium, nitrogen-phosphorus, and small-package fertilizers has already been felt by the phosphate companies. The cold wind. In the face of domestic slow-moving sales and blocked international exports, enterprises can only respond passively, and generally say that there is no good policy and the market is facing a bad future.
In 2011, the supply and sales of phosphate fertilizers in the international market was relatively good. The Phosphorus Group exported a total of about 1.4 million tons of phosphate fertilizers, a slight increase from 2010. However, the new export tariff policy stipulates that the heavy-calcium, nitrogen-phosphorus binary fertilizers and small-package fertilizers will implement the differential export tariff policy during the peak season, of which the export tariff rate is 7% from June to September, and 75% of special tariffs will be imposed for the rest of the year. This policy will certainly put a lot of pressure on the production, warehousing, supply and sales turnover of the company.
“The annual output of heavy calcium from the Open-phosphorus Group is about 150,000 tons, which is basically all exported. Because such small-scale fertilizers are basically not sold in the country, farmers do not accept them. The new tariff policy has a great impact on us.†Wang Difei said. It is understood that China's heavy calcium production capacity has more than 2 million tons, while the domestic market demand is only more than 100,000 tons, a serious excess capacity; the same is true of nitrogen and phosphorus binary fertilizer, the domestic soda industry produces 10 million tons of ammonium chloride by-product, and then The nitrogen-phosphorus binary fertilizer produced is not suitable for many soils in China, and the market is very narrow.
A person in charge of Yunnan Xingkun Chemical Sales also expressed concern about the phosphate fertilizer market in 2012. He believes that due to the impact of heavy calcium export restrictions, most of the domestic phosphate fertilizer companies will shift from heavy calcium production of calcium phosphate, calcium and other low-level phosphate fertilizer, so that low-concentration phosphate fertilizer excess capacity. Different companies have different production processes, and the cost difference is relatively large. As a result, the general calcium price is confusing. This will certainly have an adverse effect on the industry.
A person in charge of a wholly foreign-owned Yunnan Kunyang Phosphate Fertilizer Plant also said that the domestic and international phosphate fertilizer market this year is likely to be worse than last year. For example, during the period of spring cultivation and fertilizer, it should be the time when the demand is most prosperous and the price is the strongest. This year, the price of monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate decreased by 100 to 200 yuan per ton compared with the previous period, compared with the same period last year. Prices have been on the rise, as evidenced by the drop in prices this year. At the same time, the demand for the international phosphate fertilizer market has fallen, and prices have also dropped. Producers in some countries and regions, such as Russia, the United States, and North Africa, are already planning to reduce production. Due to international export restrictions, this year's domestic market will inevitably suffer from the phenomenon of phosphate fertilizers. In the first half of the year, the domestic market is not optimistic. The situation may only be alleviated after the opening of the export window. At present, the national fertilizer tariff policy has been introduced, and international buyers have few orders for Chinese companies. They have purchased more from North Africa and South Asia, making Chinese companies helpless.
Regarding the national policy of tightening the export of phosphate fertilizers, Wang Difei said that in 2011, exports of small-scale fertilizers such as heavy calcium, nitrogen and phosphorus have increased significantly, especially the export of nitrogen-phosphorus compound fertilizers has soared 4.6 times year-on-year, which has caused relevant departments to Due attention will be given to the fact that the 2012 phosphorus fertilizer export policy tightening is inevitable. In order to protect domestic resources, it is understandable that the state controls the export of phosphate fertilizers. However, for phosphate fertilizer companies, it is very important to allow for appropriate exports to ensure the continuous and stable production of the company, and it is also an important means to balance domestic excess production capacity. Moreover, in the case where the price of raw materials such as sulphur that needs to be imported in large quantities cannot be controlled, the export profits can offset the increase in raw material costs and the policy-related losses of other fertilizer products sold in the domestic market. Moreover, as large-scale phosphate fertilizer plants in North Africa and the Middle East have been completed and put into operation one after another, due to their raw material advantages, the export of China's phosphate fertilizer companies will suffer a huge impact. At that time, domestic products may not be able to make ends meet even if there are no restrictions on export tariff policies.
In the face of the worrying market prospects and the tightening of export policies, the person in charge of the phosphate fertilizer companies interviewed said that in the current situation, companies do not have a good way to deal with them. As a marketing department, all that can be done is to strive to do a better job of marketing details, such as communicating with customers earlier and more closely, selling products earlier than competitors, and making services better. However, the effect these efforts can achieve is insignificant compared with the negative effects of strict export policies and more severe market conditions.
