Yunnan Pu-Ca enterprises stop production of buckwheat

Right now is the “window period” of fertilizer exports. In previous years, the Yunnan Pu-Ca companies were mostly busy production scenes. At this time, however, most of them were forced to stop production, and only a few limited production.

The person in charge of a general calcium company near Anning told reporters that his company had stopped production in May this year, and workers have been on holiday. The reporter saw in this company that there was no one in the entire factory area, and the equipment for producing calcium sulfate was covered with dust. The person in charge told the reporter that this year's fertilizer market is in a sluggish market and customers are pushing down prices. They have to stop production and rest, and if they start production, they will lose more. However, if the factory's land and equipment have been idle, he fears that the production equipment will be scrapped. Now, what he hopes most is to have companies that can work with them to get equipment up and running. In this regard, he also thought of many ways, but because the bank needs fixed assets as collateral in mortgage payments, it is possible to get a loan. Before his funds were put into the equipment, he now hopes to have a certain flow. Funds allow companies to operate as quickly as possible.

The reporter saw another ordinary calcium company in tranquility. Although the company’s equipment has been running, the warehouse is full of unsold products. The person in charge of the company introduced that due to the sluggish market, dealers did not get goods, and their company had no choice but to expand the warehouse and put all the produced fertilizer into it. As the product can't be sold, he expects the company to lose at least 200 million yuan this year. He hopes that the country can cancel the "window period" of fertilizer exports so that domestic calcium enterprises can survive. He analyzed that as long as this period of hardship is sustained, it may be slightly better in the second half of the year.

Another person in charge of general calcium production believes that when calcium sulfate enterprises in Yunnan province are at their death or death, superphosphate as a low-level phosphorus fertilizer can consume the by-products of Yunnan's metallurgical enterprises. At present, Yunnan Pu-Ca enterprises are mostly discontinued. Once the Yunnan Pu-Ca enterprises have ceased production, the by-products of Yunnan's metallurgical enterprises will face an embarrassing situation. He believes that at present, 7% of the tariff rate of ordinary calcium is too high compared with the tariff of 5% of diammonium phosphate, and the country should cancel the 7% tariff on ordinary calcium. At the same time, it is proposed to cancel the window period of the busy season and maintain a stable tax rate. The most urgent task at this stage is that the competent national authorities can cancel special export tariffs as the best lever to immediately save the domestic market. This will greatly boost confidence in the market.

According to the reporter's understanding, several large-scale calcium production enterprises in Yunnan Province are currently looking for new investment directions, such as fertilizers with high added value such as water-soluble fertilizers, and some large companies have even stopped producing calcium sulphate. A general calcium company manager told the reporter that according to his observations on the fertilizer situation of distributors in Shandong Heze, Shanxi Fuping, Gansu Pingliang, etc., at present, the amount of pre-prepared calcium fertilizer from dealers outside Yunnan Province is less than 10% of the previous year, according to the northern winter wheat The fertilizer season will not catch up with the use of winter wheat if it does not make it from Yunnan Province by mid-September. Because if the dealers are required to concentrate on goods at the time, on the one hand, the company will not be able to produce a large amount of fertilizer at one time. On the other hand, due to the limited capacity of Yunnan's railways, it is also impossible for the railways to send freight to the designated locations of the dealers in the short term. At present, there are about 20 days from mid-September, and it is a bit difficult to send all the goods. In this regard, he expects that domestic supply of primary calcium may be out of stock this year, and winter sowing of winter wheat may face lack of fertilizer.

Some industry experts pointed out that calcium sulphate is a low-energy, low-cost, low-cost, waste-free and environmentally friendly chemical fertilizer. It can use low-grade phosphate rock for resource consumption. It must not be due to the development of high-concentration phosphate fertilizer. Ignoring the long-standing importance of calcium and calcium, we must continue to maintain sufficient demand for calcium sulfate for agricultural development. Experts said that practice has shown that Pu-Cadmium has great market potential: First, it can meet the structural needs of China's arable land, it is particularly suitable for the north acidic soil and cold paddy field crops; Second, the price is moderate, there is a corresponding Consumer groups; third, adapted to the characteristics of China's large reserves of low-grade phosphate rock resources, in the mine can be complementary with high concentrations of phosphorus and compound fertilizers. Therefore, ordinary calcium is still a popular phosphorus fertilizer among farmers, and it will coexist with high concentrations of phosphorus and compound fertilizers for a long period of time.
