China Agriculture Report By CnAgri2014-03-18 13:41:03China Agriculture Report Print

In 2013, return on equity(ROE) of nitrogen fertilizer was 4.25%, down substantially from 2012. Rate of producers in red registered 38.34% and loss amount reached 5.69 billion yuan, up 26.4% year on year.
   
   With high enthusiasm in investing in nitrogen fertilizer industry,  its capacity saw leaps in recent two years. Capacity of synthetic ammonia is estimated at 83.5 million MT in China in 2015, accounting for 37% of global capacity; in 2014 and 2015, there are 25 urea projects to be put into operation, capacity totaling 16.74 million MT (11 million MT in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang). With gradual release of new capacity, the situation of surplus capacity will be worsened, resulting in operating rate decline and greater price falling. With impacts of price rising of coal and natural gas, railway rates increase and gradual saturation of international market, nitrogen industry shall face grim market situation.
