Appropriate price limit subsidies should be given to large fertilizer companies

We firmly support and strictly implement* * Fertilizer price limit policy, but also hope that * * Can help enterprises solve practical problems, especially supervise relevant departments to implement * * Preferential policies are given to fertilizer companies to enable them to maintain normal production in order to produce more high-quality fertilizers and support agricultural production. Also, hope * * While imposing price limits on enterprises, based on the increase in production costs and price limit profits and losses, the included * * Or provide appropriate subsidies to provincial-level fertilizer companies that sell limited-price products. Liu Jinxiu, deputy general manager of Henan Zhongyuan Dahua Group, said this in an interview with reporters. Liu Jinxiu said that Qitou fertilizer companies ostensibly enjoy planned natural gas price concessions. The current price of gas used for fertilizer production is less than half of the price of other industrial gases, and they seem to be taking advantage. But in fact, many angry companies have been starving in recent years. Taking Zhongyuan Dahua as an example, the company's normal production of natural gas requires about 380 million to 400 million cubic meters per year. However, since 2005, the planned natural gas has been less than 240 million cubic meters per year, which is only equivalent to 60% of demand. Since November last year, the gas supply has only been 480,000 to 500,000 cubic meters per day, which is only equivalent to 40% of the daily demand. Although we also want to use unplanned natural gas as a supplement, the current price of industrial gas is as high as 1.5 to 1.85 yuan/cubic meter. Based on the consumption of 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas per ton of synthetic ammonia and 576 tons of synthetic ammonia per ton of urea, the cost of natural gas per ton of urea alone exceeds 1,000 yuan, and the full cost exceeds 1,750 yuan/ton. If the company is sold at 1,725 ​​yuan/ton, wouldn’t the company suffer a total loss? Therefore, Liu Jinxiu proposed, * * While implementing the price limit, the items included in the price limit should be adjusted based on the increase in production costs and the profit and loss of the price limit. * * Or provide appropriate subsidies to provincial-level fertilizer companies that sell limited-price products. Although the number of such enterprises is small, their production capacity and output are large, and they have a decisive influence on the supply and price levels of fertilizers across the country. * * After setting price limits and subsidies for these companies, it will not only promote domestic fertilizer production and supply, suppress large fluctuations in fertilizer prices, protect the interests of farmers, but also protect the overall interests of the fertilizer industry. At present, Shaanxi Province has taken the lead in the country in conducting inspections on chemical fertilizer companies. * * Direct subsidies have achieved good results, and other provinces or * * Relevant departments may wish to learn from it and promote it. Liu Jinxiu suggested.
