The price of raw materials rose into the largest "driving force" for phosphate fertilizer prices

Recently, domestic prices of phosphate fertilizers have continued to climb. Analysts have said that the main origin of phosphate rock production in China has caused a slowdown in production. The major phosphate ore producing areas in Yunnan and Guizhou suffered from drought in the first half of this year, resulting in a shortage of hydropower and coal and electricity needed for production. At the same time, the interruption of water transport caused the transport of phosphate ore to be hindered. In addition, the price of intermediate raw materials* for producing phosphate fertilizers has risen, and the domestic ex-factory price of phosphate fertilizers has started to increase. The higher phosphate prices in foreign markets have also stimulated the export of phosphate fertilizers.

In this regard, as one of the three largest phosphate fertilizer producers in China, Wang Kaiyi, general manager of the Guizhou Kaisui (Group) Co., Ltd., and vice chairman of the Party Committee, said that the reasons for the rise in phosphate fertilizer prices are many, but the main reason is that raw materials for the production of phosphate fertilizers The price has risen dramatically. Wang Kaiyi was interviewed by the company's “quality, brand, and responsibility” series of interviews. He pointed out that the main fertilizers like high-concentration phosphate fertilizers are the three main raw materials of diammonium phosphate: one is **, mainly depends on imports. The second is synthetic ammonia, and the third is phosphate rock. At the beginning of this year, the price of ** was 950 yuan per ton, which has now risen to 1400-1500 yuan per ton, so that the cost of diamine has risen by 225 yuan. At the beginning of the year, the price of synthetic ammonia was about 2,500 yuan and 2,600 yuan. The price of synthetic ammonia has now risen to 3,600 yuan and 3,700 yuan, which has increased the cost of ammonia to five to six hundred yuan. Every ton of diamine requires 1.6 tons of phosphate rock, phosphate rock should rise tens of dollars. The price of diammonium phosphate has pushed up more than 600 yuan because of the rising cost of these three major raw materials. At the beginning of the year, the price of diammonium phosphate was around 2,600 yuan. Now the price of diammonium is about 3,200 yuan, which is 600-700 yuan per ton. The increase in the price of diammonium phosphate was caused by the increase in the prices of major raw materials.

Regarding the question of whether the price of phosphate fertilizer is one of the reasons for the rise in food prices this year, Wang Kaiying explained that the price increase of phosphate fertilizer is only one of the secondary reasons for the rise in food prices. The reasons for the rise in food prices are many and complex, but the increase in fertilizer prices is not the main reason. He believes that there are two main reasons for the rise in food prices: First, this year's global climate is abnormal, natural disasters occur frequently, crops are greatly affected, and many regions fail to collect income. This is also the case in our country. Second, there is also a relationship with speculation. Now the excess liquidity of ***, coupled with the current irresponsibility of the United States, issuing more dollars, causing a certain degree of inflation. Some people have spare cash in hand and can speculate, pushing up prices from the other side. Some popular buzzwords on the Internet, such as "You Do You Play," "Garlic Yours," and "Gao Gaozong," are related to speculation and speculation.
