The Plan for the Adjustment and Revitalization of the Petrochemical Industry and the Development of China’s Phosphorus Fertilizer Industry – National Phosphorus Fertilizer Information Network. Recently, the author came across an important development that has a significant impact on the phosphorus and fertilizer industries: On February 19th, the Premier of the State Council presided over an executive meeting of the State Council, during which the Plan for the Adjustment and Revitalization of the Petrochemical Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Plan) was reviewed and approved in principle. As a sub-sector of the petrochemical industry, the phosphorus and compound fertilizer sector is bound to benefit from this plan. At the same time, this plan will also point the way forward for the struggling phosphorus and compound fertilizer industry in China, facilitating its sustainable and healthy development. Affected by the international financial crisis, sulfur prices plummeted sharply after September 2008, dealing a devastating blow to large phosphorus-based fertilizer companies. At present, as the international financial crisis continues to spread and global economic growth slows down significantly, its negative impact on China’s economy is growing deeper, with increasing effects on the development of agriculture and rural areas. The agrochemical market is in a state of severe downturn, and the introduction of this plan is like timely rain nourishing the struggling phosphate and compound fertilizer industries. The author believes that the timing of the introduction of the plan is quite appropriate. After reading the entire plan, it seems that the revitalization of the phosphate and compound fertilizer industries holds promise ； What lies behind this planning is even more meaningful, especially given the increasing competitive pressures on China’s phosphate and compound fertilizer industries as a result of the current financial crisis; thus, it is all the more important that this planning be introduced in a timely manner. Interpreting this plan, the author draws the following conclusions: First, the plan highly acknowledges the important role of the petrochemical industry, including the phosphorus and compound fertilizer sectors, which will surely draw societal attention and lead to a renewed understanding of these industries. It also fosters a better understanding of the characteristics of the phosphorus and compound fertilizer industries and their markets, thereby laying a foundation for their future development. The plan states that the petrochemical industry is resource- and capital-intensive, features high industrial interconnections, and has a large economic scale; it plays a crucial role in promoting the upgrading of related industries and driving economic growth. As an important sub-sector of the petrochemical industry, the phosphate and compound fertilizer industry plays a vital role in ensuring agricultural harvests as well as in the development of upstream industries. The main raw materials for compound fertilizers in our country are urea, monoammonium phosphate, potassium chloride, etc. These basic raw materials are related to the development of the upstream phosphorus and potassium fertilizer mining industry as well as the nitrogen fertilizer industry; only when the phosphorus and compound fertilizer industries thrive can the related industries flourish as well. At the same time, 2009 was likely to be the most difficult year for China’s economic development since the new century, as well as a year in which it was extremely challenging to maintain and further develop the favorable situation in agriculture and rural areas. The key to maintaining a favorable situation in agriculture and rural areas is to ensure good agricultural harvests and increased incomes for farmers, and phosphorus and compound fertilizers play an important role in achieving this. History has shown that the application of chemical fertilizers has played an important role in the development of agriculture in our country, particularly in grain production. From 1978 to 1998, the amount of chemical fertilizer applied per mu in our country increased from 5.3 kg to 28.6 kg. Over 20 years, the total grain production increased by 200 million tons, with about 40% of this increase attributed to higher fertilizer use. For our country, even in an era of economic globalization, fertilizers and food remain strategic commodities; we must meet the majority of our demand for these items on our own in order to maximize national security and interests. The fertilizer industry has become an important sector related to the country’s economy and people’s livelihood, with phosphorus and compound fertilizers playing a key role in agricultural development. Therefore, despite the overall poor economic performance of the phosphate fertilizer industry, the phosphate compound fertilizer industry will remain an industry that requires **priority protection and support for its development. The introduction of these plans will deepen people’s understanding of the role of the phosphate fertilizer industry, prompting society to pay even more attention to its development and to offer active support for it. This will undoubtedly facilitate the rapid and scientific advancement of China’s phosphate fertilizer industry. Secondly, the circular economy has become an important element of planning, which will further accelerate the development of a circular economy in the phosphorus and compound fertilizer industries, promote energy conservation and emission reduction in these sectors in the future, and support the sustainable development of the industry. The plan proposes to promote the comprehensive utilization of resources and waste recycling technologies, and to develop a circular economy. This holds great significance for the current phosphorus and compound fertilizer industries. Currently, resource constraints are severely limiting the development of phosphorus and compound fertilizers. Phosphorus, as well as the production of compound fertilizers, relies on important non-renewable resources. Although China has large reserves of phosphate ore, the amount of high-quality ore available for producing high-concentration phosphate compounds is limited, resulting in a insufficient supply of such ore in the long term ； At the same time, the rich phosphate ore resources are concentrated in eight phosphate mining areas in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hubei ； The average grade of the ore is low; the vast majority of phosphate ores must be concentrated through mineral processing before they can be utilized ； The reckless mining of phosphate rocks, along with the large-scale low-cost export of high-quality phosphate rocks, makes the future supply of phosphate rocks even more uncertain. The main raw materials for compound fertilizers in our country are urea, monoammonium phosphate, potassium chloride, etc., and these basic raw materials are primarily derived from coal, heavy oil, natural gas, phosphate rock, and potash salts. The production of nitrogen fertilizers in our country, particularly urea, relies mainly on natural gas, coal, heavy oil, and other raw materials. The production raw materials for enterprises in the central and eastern regions are mainly coal, whereas those for large-scale facilities in the western region are mostly natural gas. However, the supply of coal, electricity, oil, and gas has remained strained, and this is a problem that cannot be effectively resolved in the short term. China’s proven exploitable coal reserves amount to nearly 200 billion tons, but there is a shortage of high-quality resources, and the reserve resources for industrial use are severely insufficient. **Coal demand exceeds 2 billion tons per year, and the overall supply-demand imbalance remains tight. China’s proven oil and natural gas reserves are limited; the recoverable oil reserves amount to 6.5 billion tons. However, due to the geographical distribution of these resources and the difficulties associated with extraction, China’s crude oil production has remained around 170 million tons per year for many years, which is not sufficient to meet domestic demand. China’s phosphate fertilizer industry has experienced rapid development since the 11th Five-Year Plan period. Currently, China ranks first in the world in terms of production of phosphate fertilizers, with output exceeding 14 million tons. However, at present, phosphorus and sulfur resources have become an important factor restricting the sustainable development of China’s phosphate fertilizer industry. According to Wu Xixian, president of the China Phosphate Fertilizer Industry Association, China has abundant phosphate resources, but they are mainly of medium to low grade; there are few high-grade deposits, with only 912 million tons of deposits having a purity of over 30% ； There is an abundance of rosin phosphate, making its mining and processing difficult. China is facing a severe shortage of sulfur resources, with its reliance on imports exceeding 50%. It is urgent to utilize resources and develop a circular economy in the phosphate fertilizer industry. Continuously advancing energy conservation and consumption reduction, improving resource utilization efficiency, and minimizing the consumption of natural resources have become key to the development of the phosphate fertilizer industry. Of course, developing a circular economy requires technological innovation as a foundation; therefore, the entire industry must enhance its technological innovation, develop new products, and extend its industrial chains. At present, coal can be used to produce synthetic ammonia; the waste heat from sulfuric acid steam can be utilized for power generation; the flue gas from power generation boilers can be used for desulfurization to produce sulfuric acid; phosphogypsum can be used to manufacture gypsum building materials and cement retarders; waste residues and phosphogypsum can be used to make bricks or produce cement; potassium hydroxide can react with phosphogypsum to produce potassium sulfate; and chemical elements can be extracted from industrial wastewater for reuse. In particular, it is necessary to seize the historical opportunity to phase out clay bricks, focus on developing various new building materials from phosphogypsum, and reduce the pressure associated with stockpiling ； Achieve the scale-up and localization of technology and equipment for the purification of wet-process phosphoric acid as well as kiln-process phosphoric acid, and expand the industrial chain for mid-to-high-end phosphoric acid and phosphates ； Further improve the recovery of fluorine, anhydrous hydrogen fluoride and high-value fluorides, as well as the utilization of low-grade heat energy in large and medium-sized sulfuric acid plants and the utilization of pyrite slag. In short, it is necessary to accelerate technological innovation, promote industrial upgrading, and develop a circular economy by formulating policies and regulations. Large and medium-sized enterprises should establish sound R&D institutions, encourage joint development as well as commissioned development among industry, academia, and research institutions, enhance their capabilities in original innovation, integrated innovation, and the ability to introduce, adapt, and further develop new technologies. They should also use advanced and appropriate technologies to upgrade the phosphorus compound fertilizer industry, thereby improving the international competitiveness of the entire sector. Third, the plan identifies controlling the total volume and phasing out outdated production capacity as one of the key policy measures; this will facilitate structural adjustments, mergers and reorganizations, as well as industry consolidation within the phosphate and compound fertilizer sectors, thereby optimizing the industry’s various elements. The plan calls for controlling the total volume and phasing out outdated production capacity. This is very necessary and urgent for the current phosphorus and compound fertilizer industries. Compound fertilizers are highly popular among farmers due to their advantages such as containing a combination of various elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which helps balance the nutrients needed by crops while also saving time and effort. Driven by this demand, the compound fertilizer market experienced a boom during 2002–2003. Due to changes in the industrial layout of our country, some compound fertilizer production projects have seen reckless expansion, leading to a surge in the number of such manufacturers – many of them being small and medium-sized enterprises with capacities of around 100,000 tons each. Data shows that among the 4,400 registered compound fertilizer manufacturers, the total production capacity exceeds 200 million tons (in terms of physical volume), but the actual production capacity at present is only around 50 million tons; thus, more than 70% of this capacity remains unused. Currently, the country’s phosphate fertilizer production capacity amounts to about 20 million tons of P2O5. In 2008, the production volume was around 14.5 million tons, while domestic demand was approximately 12 million tons of P2O5; this results in a surplus of 2.5 million tons of P2O5. The expected production of diammonium phosphate this year is 8 million tons, while the domestic demand is 5.5–6 million tons, resulting in a surplus of 2–2.5 million tons ； The production volume of monoammonium phosphate this year is expected to be 10 million tons, with domestic demand at around 6.5 million tons, leaving a surplus of about 3.5 million tons ； The production capacity of compound fertilizers exceeds 200 million tons. This year, the production is expected to range from 55 million to 60 million tons, which will also exceed domestic demand. With an oversupply of phosphate fertilizers, enterprises in regions such as Hubei are still expanding; some of them plan to build facilities for producing 600,000 tons of diammonium phosphate, along with 800,000 tons of sulfuric acid and 300,000 tons of phosphoric acid. The growth of future production capacity must be aligned with the growth in demand; otherwise, it will inevitably cause harm to the industry. It is necessary to accelerate structural adjustment, optimize industrial layout, and continuously enhance industrial competitiveness. Upgrade the industrial and product structures through two types of transitions. China’s basic high-concentration phosphorus fertilizers should continue to be shifted to the four phosphorus-producing provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hubei, and Sichuan, so that the output of these four provinces can account for over 70% of the country’s total output ； Specialized fertilizers for various crops should continue to move toward the chemical fertilizer market, and large enterprises should focus on producing specialized fertilizers for regional staple crops. Small enterprises should focus on supplying specialized fertilizers for various high-value-added cash crops, vegetables, flowers, and fruits. While focusing on the development of large-scale phosphate fertilizer projects in regions such as Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hubei, it is also necessary to accelerate the standardization and transformation of small and medium-sized fertilizer enterprises that have high energy consumption, outdated technology, no resources, no brand recognition, and no market presence, in order to maintain a rational structure and dynamic balance in terms of overall volume. In line with the laws of the market economy, joint ventures, reorganizations, mergers, and acquisitions across industries and departments are encouraged in order to promote the optimal allocation of resources and at the same time foster a group of leading enterprise groups in the fertilizer industry. Help them establish as soon as possible a business model that integrates raw material extraction, fertilizer production, and market development, thereby enhancing the overall competitiveness of China’s phosphate fertilizer enterprises. According to the plans and forecasts of relevant authorities, by 2010, China’s phosphate fertilizer industry is expected to achieve \"three 70％\": 70％ of production will be concentrated in large factories, 70％ will take place in areas where resources are abundant, and 70％ of the products will have a high concentration. This means that the phosphatic fertilizer industry in China will continue to witness major rounds of integration and mergers. The process of industrial integration and concentration is an inevitable outcome of a market economy, resulting from stronger enterprises optimizing industrial factors based on their own conditions. Some people say that in the future, the phosphorus fertilizer industry will be integrated from both resource and market perspectives. There is some truth to this, but resource and market integration are not completely separate either. Companies with resource advantages can leverage their cost advantages to emerge victorious in competition, thereby integrating other companies. There are also some enterprises with market advantages that can utilize their established network channels to integrate market resources and simultaneously extend their industrial chains. Of course, no integration method can be considered superior or inferior; what matters is whether such integration is effective or not! In the future, the consolidation of China’s phosphate fertilizer industry will exhibit the following characteristics: concentration among the most valuable enterprises in the industrial chain. Future competition will not be between individual companies, but rather between entire industrial chains. The consolidation of the phosphate fertilizer industry in our country will surely involve strong enterprises with capabilities and vision in production or distribution. Based on this, the enterprises that will be active in China’s agricultural supplies sector in the future will be those of the production type, agricultural supplies chain type, and production-agricultural supplies integrated type. It concentrates in enterprises with competitive industrial factors. Industrial factors are not innate; they need to be constructed and integrated. For the phosphate fertilizer industry, phosphorus resources, sulfur resources, environmental resources, and logistics resources are particularly crucial due to their high proportion in the cost of products, which makes it more difficult to control them. It can be predicted that in the future, the integration of the phosphate fertilizer industry will tend toward the combination of mineral acid fertilizers, with optimization of environmental and logistics costs as a prerequisite. It is foreseeable that as the industrial chain integrates, the overall competitiveness of the industry will increase significantly, operations will become more efficient, and the degree of integration will also **rise**. In the face of industry consolidation during periods of transition, companies should strive to identify their own position within the industrial chain in order to minimize the negative impacts of such consolidation! Following this consolidation, it is estimated that about 80% of phosphorus-based fertilizers in the market are controlled by 20% of the brands, resulting in a basic balance between supply and demand. At the same time, the transfer of land will inevitably give rise to some large landowners and farm owners. Some well-known brands will begin to work with farmers to explore precision agriculture and some customer-focused agrochemical services ； The phosphate fertilizer industry will develop a relatively complete industrial chain, with the model of mine-acid-fertilizer-chemicals taking shape, demonstrating unique vitality; companies will begin to explore cross-border operations in terms of products, technology, and capital ； Foreign-brand agricultural inputs will lose their dominant position. Fourthly, the plan focuses on expanding market demand, stabilizing the market, and developing domestic and international markets, which will provide guidance for the expansion of the phosphorus compound fertilizer industry in these markets in the future. The plan regards stabilizing the market as a key objective; currently, the phosphate compound fertilizer market is weak, profits are declining, and the entire industry is in trouble. According to statistics, from January to August 2008, the profit from phosphate compound fertilizers amounted to 10.43 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 133.2% ； Between September and November, profits in the phosphate fertilizer industry increased by only 120 million yuan, showing a significant decline in profits. Many large enterprises in the major phosphorus-producing provinces such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hubei have also successively reduced production or halted operations due to problems with selling their products. Since 2009, the development prospects of its industry have remained unfavorable. In terms of the domestic market, demand is uncertain and may continue to decline. There are uncertainties regarding fertilizer demand in 2009. Firstly, farmers’ willingness to spend on fertilizers has declined. Last year, during the autumn planting season, farmers purchased fertilizers at the highest prices, yet the prices for purchasing grain were much lower than in the same period; this situation of low grain prices harms farmers, reducing their desire to buy fertilizers. As a result, they may opt for organic fertilizers instead. Additionally, the drought affecting large areas of farmland is also likely to reduce the use of fertilizers. Secondly, soil testing and fertilization have proven to be highly effective; as these practices become more widespread in China, the use of chemical fertilizers has decreased. According to information published on the Ministry of Agriculture’s website, the use of chemical fertilizers has declined in all the counties and cities that were covered by such reports. Thirdly, because the price of urea is relatively low, farmers will increase its use, thereby replacing the application of phosphate-based fertilizers. Fourth, the significant price fluctuations in phosphate-based fertilizers last year undermined dealers’ confidence in sales, leading to less active sales activity, which in turn will affect the demand for chemical fertilizers. In terms of the international market, the production costs of phosphorus-based fertilizers there are currently much lower than those in China. As a result, Chinese phosphorus-based fertilizer manufacturers no longer have a competitive advantage, and they will continue to lose market share. It is reported that the CIF price of a recent batch of sulfur purchased by the American company Merson was “zero dollars,” while domestic phosphate fertilizer manufacturers are still struggling to deal with the raw materials they bought at high prices last year. The entry of cheap international phosphate fertilizers into China’s market will lead to an increase in China’s imports of chemical fertilizers. The export volume of phosphate-based fertilizers in 2009 will remain at the same level as in the previous period. Although there is an overcapacity in China’s phosphate fertilizer production, **given the special nature of the phosphate-based fertilizer industry, some exports are allowed. However**, priority is given to ensuring stability in agricultural production; especially now that the policies restricting fertilizer prices have been lifted, the relevant authorities will pay closer attention to monitoring the prices of phosphate-based fertilizers. To maintain stable prices for these fertilizers, ensuring sufficient domestic supply is of top priority. Therefore, export volumes will remain at the same level as last year. Under the impact of tariff policies, China’s exports of phosphate fertilizers declined significantly in 2008. Total exports of diammonium phosphate for the year amounted to 817,000 tons, a decrease of 58.6% compared with the previous year ； 1.016 million tons of ammonium phosphate were exported, a decrease of 47.7% ； Exports of triple compound fertilizers, heavy calcium carbonate, superphosphate, and similar products have also declined to varying degrees. In terms of the distribution of phosphorus resources, by 2004 South Africa had proven reserves of 1.5 billion tons, accounting for 8.3% of the world’s total reserves; Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia also have small amounts of such reserves ； In terms of food demand, Africa is the region most affected by food shortages, with a per capita grain production of only 125 kg. Although Asia’s per capita grain production is 330 kg, it is still far below the levels of developed countries ； In terms of fertilizer demand, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa are regions where the demand for phosphate fertilizers is on the rise. Our country’s phosphate chemical enterprises should be encouraged, under the guidance of relevant policies, to invest in Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia in order to make use of the low-cost natural gas, phosphate rocks, sulfur resources, and potash resources available there. By leveraging the comparative advantages of our country’s fertilizer manufacturers, it is possible to expand export channels further, thereby achieving a complementary relationship between fertilizer imports and exports and ensuring that both international and domestic markets are utilized to their full potential. Fifthly, the plan explicitly calls for increased policy support and greater investment in technological upgrades, which will bring significant benefits to China’s phosphate fertilizer companies that are currently facing difficulties, helping them to emerge from this tough situation as soon as possible. The plan proposes increasing policy support. Accelerate the establishment of refined oil reserves, improve tax policies, increase investment in technological upgrades, and provide greater credit support to petrochemical enterprises. The plan also proposes stabilizing the petrochemical products market and enhancing the capacity to ensure access to agricultural inputs. Adjust the production structure of fertilizers and pesticides, optimize resource allocation, reduce costs, and increase supply. Improve the system for strategic stockpiling of chemical fertilizers, and strengthen the development of the supply network for agricultural diesel. The tone of these policies is to continue supporting fertilizer production, which helps fertilizer companies overcome their current difficulties. Agriculture holds an important position in China’s overall economy. At present, with the high base of continuous agricultural production increases over the past 5 years, the task of ensuring stable development in the grain sector has become even more demanding ； Amid the general downward trend in prices of resource-based products both domestically and internationally, it has become even more difficult to maintain reasonable levels for agricultural product prices. Strengthening regulation over the production and sales of agricultural products, supporting fertilizer production, increasing reserves during off-seasons, and ensuring market supply have thus become important tasks. **Against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, food production remains a key area that requires support. This plan puts forward recommendations for supporting the development of the fertilizer industry, covering various aspects such as taxation and stockpiling. “The \"Plan\" proposes to \"focus on increasing loans for working capital for fertilizer enterprises\" ； Accelerate the phasing out of outdated production capacity for small-scale fertilizers, give priority support to large and medium-sized fertilizer enterprises, and ensure the production of key products such as phosphate ammonium and urea ； Actively guide the orderly export of chemical fertilizers ； Increase **fertilizer reserves**; swiftly implement the addition of 2 million tons of fertilizer reserves for the off-season, and establish 10 million tons of fertilizer reserves by 2010. Give priority to purchasing products from key enterprises in the industry to reduce the pressure on corporate inventory levels. ”This will help keep demand in the fertilizer industry relatively stable. At present, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers face difficulties in export due to overcapacity and a situation where domestic prices are lower than international prices. The operating rates of companies producing these fertilizers are generally low; sellers are reluctant to stock up, while manufacturers see an increase in their inventory levels, putting them under certain operational pressures. With spring plowing approaching, **the introduction of policies to support grain production helps fertilizer companies reduce their inventory levels and increases demand. This policy is beneficial to all fertilizer companies, including those that produce compound fertilizers, and it will also benefit phosphorus and compound fertilizer manufacturers such as Salt Lake Potash and Yuntianhua. “The proposals submitted for this “plan” focus heavily on phosphate fertilizer policies; **it is possible that financial subsidies of around 9.6 billion yuan will be provided to the phosphate fertilizer industry. ”Liu Bo from Guojin Securities believes that in 2008, international sulfur prices soared from $300 per ton at the beginning of the year to $820 per ton, before dropping to $70 per ton in September, causing heavy losses for domestic producers. Just the costs of 1.5 million tons of high-priced sulfur, 3 million tons of high-priced pyrite, and 3.3 million tons of high-priced ammonium phosphate result in a loss of 15.6 billion yuan. In 2007, the annual profit of the phosphate fertilizer industry was only 7.6 billion yuan. “The plan may provide a subsidy of 1,000 yuan per ton for the 9.6 million tons of diammonium phosphate and ammonium phosphate produced domestically from May to November 2008, in order to help these enterprises overcome their difficulties. Additionally, the special tariffs for the export of phosphate fertilizers during peak and off-peak seasons might be abolished ； It is possible to postpone the adjustment of the tax rate for phosphate rock resources; just this measure alone could reduce the costs for the phosphate fertilizer industry by over 6 billion yuan per year ； There is hope that the 17% VAT rate on phosphate rock products can be suspended and restored to the previous 13%. Sixthly, the plan includes strengthening scientific management and improving the corporate governance structure as key measures, which will **enhance the competitiveness of China’s phosphate fertilizer industry. The plan calls for improving the corporate governance structure, strengthening scientific decision-making, enhancing risk prevention and control capabilities, and raising the management standards of petrochemical enterprises. Currently, the market is extremely sluggish, and competition among products is fierce; some companies have encountered difficulties and ended up failing due to issues related to funding, the market, and management. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen management, enhance internal incentive policies within the company, and carry out thorough internal reforms. And institutional innovation is the foundation of reform and development. The main approaches to reform are conceptual innovation, institutional innovation, management innovation, and technological innovation. And the key to innovation is institutional innovation, that is, institutional changes based on conceptual innovation. It is the premise and guarantee for all other innovations. Therefore, it can be said that the key to reform lies in restructuring. Promote reform and innovation of internal mechanisms to enhance internal vitality, particularly in terms of institutional reform. The external environment for businesses has changed significantly, with competition becoming increasingly fierce, which imposes new and higher demands on overall business management and human resource allocation ； At the same time, as the market evolves, the internal organizational structure, resource allocation, and production and operation systems of enterprises are no longer sufficient to meet market demands. Issues such as a weak core competitiveness, insufficient competitive awareness and crisis awareness among employees, as well as rough management practices, unclear responsibilities, and imperfect incentive mechanisms have gradually emerged, hindering the growth and development of these enterprises. Therefore, in order to adapt to market changes and the needs of the company’s own development and to enhance its competitiveness in the market, institutional reforms and mechanism innovations are necessary. In line with the principles of matching responsibilities with authorities and aligning financial powers with operational responsibilities, it is necessary to streamline internal company relationships through hierarchical decision-making and management. Efforts should be made to separate the decision-making level from the management level, as well as from the operational and execution levels, in order to reduce the number of management layers. The functional responsibilities of various units and departments must be clearly defined, and the staffing levels as well as the numbers of middle managers, professional technicians, and general managers should be determined appropriately. Management positions should be reduced, with more staff allocated to the front lines, in pursuit of efficiency; positions should be created based on actual needs, and employees selected accordingly ； At the same time, improve business processes to align organizational structure with work workflows. Furthermore, in light of the current financial crisis, measures such as reducing staff while improving efficiency, promoting competition for positions, offering multiple salaries for one position, and ensuring that more work leads to higher rewards are being implemented, along with the vigorous adoption of various new management mechanisms. In light of the actual market conditions, it is necessary to recreate the marketing management mechanism from new perspectives and with new ways of thinking. Increased investment should be made in modernizing the marketing department, efforts should be made to strengthen marketing organizations and teams, and the overall quality of marketing staff should be improved. A sound marketing network must be established, the sales contract system and risk guarantee system must be strictly implemented, and incentive mechanisms should be introduced in order to enhance the quality of marketing management and effectively strengthen marketing oversight. Externally, efforts should be made to secure favorable support policies, while internally, enterprise management needs to be strengthened; only by adopting both approaches can the desired results be achieved.
