With the support of national policies, the development prospects of the nitrogen fertilizer industry are promising

Nitrogen fertilizer, also known as carbonamide, refers to fertilizers with nitrogen as the main component. Nitrogen deficiency in crops will cause yellowing of leaves, short plants, and incomplete grains. Applying nitrogen fertilizer can increase the chlorophyll of crops and enhance the absorption of nutrients by crops. According to different raw materials, nitrogen fertilizers can be divided into four types: ammonium nitrate nitrogen fertilizer, acylammonium nitrogen fertilizer, nitrate nitrogen fertilizer and ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.

Fertilizer is the most basic and important material input in agricultural production, and it is a means of production industry supported by the state. In April 2022, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and other departments jointly issued the “Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of the Petrochemical and Chemical Industry during the “14th Five-Year Plan””, clearly proposing to increase the proportion of green products in industries such as fertilizers and strengthen fertilizer production Guarantee to ensure stable supply of chemical fertilizers. With the support of national policies, my country’s chemical fertilizer production continues to increase. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s agricultural nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash fertilizer production in 2021 will be 55.436 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.9%.

The upstream of the nitrogen fertilizer industry chain supplies raw materials, including coal, natural gas, ammonium chloride, urea, ammonium nitrate, etc. Coal is an important raw material for the production of nitrogen fertilizer in my country. In recent years, my country’s coal output has shown a rapid growth trend. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2021 The output of industrial raw coal above designated size in my country reached 4.07 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%; the midstream is the production and processing of nitrogen fertilizers, including ammonium nitrogen fertilizers, nitrate nitrogen fertilizers, ammonium nitrogen fertilizers, etc.; the downstream is application fields, including agriculture, forestry, medicine, and industry wait.

Agriculture is the main application field of nitrogen fertilizer. my country is a major agricultural country. In recent years, the area of ​​grain cultivation in our country has been growing continuously. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, my country’s grain sown area will reach 1.76 billion acres in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 0.7%. Nitrogen fertilizer has a high nitrogen content and is mainly composed of protein, which can promote the growth and development of crops and enhance photosynthesis. Nitrogen fertilizer, as the main product of chemical fertilizers, has a positive impact on improving the quality of crops. It is the fertilizer with the largest demand and application volume in crop cultivation in my country.

According to the “2022-2027 Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Development Prospects and Investment Strategic Planning Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center, my country’s nitrogen fertilizer production Sufficient and occupy an important position in the international market. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, my country’s nitrogen fertilizer exports in 2021 will reach 16.607 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 11.5%, and the export value will reach 4.45 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 70.4%. India, Vietnam and Brazil are my country’s main exporters of nitrogen fertilizer.

Industry Analysts People said that benefiting from the increase in my country’s grain planting area and rapid economic development, nitrogen fertilizer, as the main product of chemical fertilizers, has an increasingly strong market demand . As the world’s largest nitrogen fertilizer producer, my country’s nitrogen fertilizer exports continue to expand. Driven by positive factors such as national policy support, sufficient supply of raw materials, and strong application demand, my country’s nitrogen fertilizer industry will have broad prospects.
