Reduced use of fertilizers for spring plowing in the main fertilizer-producing areas in the south, China Fertilizer Network. 2008-2-25 9:17:56. Source: Our website’s forum.

As a necessary fertilizer for sowing, what is the current market supply situation? Our reporters, while conducting interviews in Guizhou and other areas, learned that as a result of the snow disasters, manufacturing enterprises in the main fertilizer-producing regions in the south have suffered significant losses, leading to a sharp reduction in the supply of fertilizers needed for spring plowing. The reporter said, “This is the diammonium phosphate production facility of the Kailin Group in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province. Due to power outages in the previous period, we understand that some of the factory’s units have not yet resumed operations, as it will take some time before the power grid is able to operate safely again.” ” 　　At this production facility, the reporter saw that since production was only resumed a few days ago, out of the 4 sulfuric acid production units used for manufacturing fertilizers, only 2 are currently in operation ； Of the 4 spherical tanks used to store synthetic ammonia, 3 have been used up, and the remaining one also has only 1/3 of its capacity left ； At the warehouse, the reporter saw that the diammonium sulfate, which could not be packaged in time due to a power outage, had become damp and clumped up after being exposed for an extended period; as a result, over 1,000 tons of this finished fertilizer had to be processed again. Qu Qinglin, chairman of Guizhou Kailin Group, said, \"The losses caused to us by this natural disaster amount to around 25 million yuan per day. Over this period, the total loss will be approximately 850 million yuan.\" ” 　　At present, the phosphate fertilizer production at this manufacturing site is only one-third of its normal level. The shutdowns and partial shutdowns that have lasted for over a month have resulted in a daily reduction in phosphate fertilizer production of at least 5,000 tons. As a result, fertilizer production enterprises across Guizhou ceased operations for a month, resulting in a reduction in production of 300,000 tons. It is estimated that by early March, when the Guizhou power grid resumes normal operation, the production of phosphorus-containing fertilizers in the entire province will decrease by 500,000 tons. At the same time, since Guizhou is the main producer of phosphate rocks in the country, accounting for more than one-third of the nation’s total phosphate rock resources, the suspension or reduction in production in Guizhou has led to a significant decrease in the procurement of phosphate rocks in regions such as Hubei, Sichuan, Jiangxi, and Anhui. As a result, it is expected that the production of phosphate-based fertilizers in the major fertilizer-producing areas in the south will decline by 2 million tons this year.
