Haikou fertilizer prices generally rise Agricultural production is worrying

The reporter learned yesterday from relevant departments of the Haikou municipal government that since the beginning of this year, the price of fertilizer in Haikou has been rising month by month. As of August, the increase in fertilizer prices has increased. Fertilizer is an important means of production for agricultural production. Fertilizer price stability is of great significance for the current suppression of excessively high prices of agricultural and sideline products, and for the high CPI reduction.

Fertilizer price fluctuations are mainly affected by domestic and foreign markets. It is reported that there are few chemical fertilizer production enterprises in Haikou City, and the fertilizers needed for agricultural production come mainly from the inside and outside of the province and foreign imports. Fertilizer price fluctuations are mainly affected by domestic and foreign markets.

According to survey and monitoring, in 2009, 2010 and January-August 2011, the retail price of Norwegian compound fertilizer market was 4.91 yuan, 5.00 yuan, 5.29 yuan per kilogram; the retail price of Guizhou urea market was 2.11 yuan per kilogram, respectively. 2.23 yuan and 2.61 yuan. The reasons for the increase in fertilizer prices are mainly due to the combined effects of rising raw material prices in the international and domestic markets, rising labor costs, and increased transportation costs.

Since the beginning of this year, the price of chemical fertilizers in Haikou City has been on an upward trend, mainly due to the increase in the prices of urea and compound fertilizers, among which urea prices have been rising month by month. The prices of compound fertilizers have apparently increased since August. For example, in August, the retail prices of urea produced in Guizhou, compound fertilizers in Norway and compound fertilizers in Russia were 2.9 yuan, 5.8 yuan and 4.1 yuan per kilogram respectively, up by 45%, 20.59% and 16% respectively from the same period of last year; Compared with the average price for six months, the urea produced in Guizhou increased by 16.93% per kilogram, 2.48 yuan, the Norwegian compound fertilizer increased by 11.54% per kilogram, 5.2 yuan, and the Russian compound fertilizer increased by 16.48% per kilogram, 3.52 yuan.

The rise in fertilizer prices and other factors caused by rising costs According to retailers, one is that provincial production enterprises have limited production during the power-saving period, with reduced production, low inventory, and large seasonal demand. Some varieties also experienced off-sell conditions (such as Fudao Brand urea), some imports of compound fertilizers, potash fertilizers are also sold with the phenomenon; second, rising raw materials, labor costs, leading to rising prices; Third, the increase in personnel wages and transportation costs, so that the intermediate link costs increase.

In short, the rising purchase price of fertilizers and tight supply are the main reasons for the rise in the retail price of chemical fertilizers in the market. The recent increase in the price of chemical fertilizers should cause the attention of relevant departments and actively take measures to ensure the basic stability of market supply and prices.
