On the other hand, industry access policy for the high-analysis compound phosphate fertilizer is about to be issued. When the industry expansion is basically suspended, the integration based on resource and guided by technology within the industry is about to be on progress. Due to the importance of phosphate fertilizer to agricultural production, in a long time in the future, the development of phosphate fertilizer industry will continue to play important role in the overall agricultural field.
