All varieties of fertilizer use is not the same as the import quota

Because our country is urea producing countries, domestic urea prices have been very competitive, therefore, 3 million 300 thousand tons of urea import tariff quotas are not finished, according to insiders, in recent years, China’s chemical fertilizer imports mainly has two varieties: one is potassium chloride, two compound fertilizer is three yuan. China is a country of potassium deficiency, its lack of potassium, need a large number of imports from abroad, while imports of compound fertilizer use is mainly in the south area of economic crops.

The increase in production costs, but the price is so low, 1200 yuan (ton price, the same below) of the ex factory price, some manufacturers do not lose money? It is not normal, he is ready to save one thousand or two thousand tons of urea.
