Recently in Yantai, Shandong, the main apple-producing area, Qixia, Zhaoyuan, there has been a strange phenomenon - ammonium bicarbonate, making a comeback, hot sales.
Qixia Lao Wang, 56 years old this year, planted more than 10 acres of orchards, in the past apple prices were high, fertilizer prices were low, Lao Wang can always spare no blood, what kind of fertilizer is good to use what fertilizer.
Slow-release fertilizer, water-soluble fertilizer, high-tower fertilizer, fast-acting fertilizer, fertilizer price is low, the effect is obvious, while the apple price is high, there are profits to be earned.
In previous years, Lao Wang would also prefer efficient compound fertilizer, but this year, in the face of such a price, Lao Wang was unusual and began to use ammonium bicarbonate, which was abandoned by himself.
But this year is different.
3,000 yuan a ton of nitrogen fertilizer raw materials, to be called a chemical fertilizer that can be sold, the price of ordinary compound is nearly 50% higher than in previous years, when applying base fertilizer in the autumn, many fruit farmers choose to wait, because everyone judges that nitrogen fertilizer can not always run at such a high price, there is definitely a possibility of price reduction.
Farmers are still waiting, there is no market on the market, they can't buy what they want to buy, and they don't have goods if they want to sell, so they miss the last opportunity. 2300 yuan a ton, has become the lowest price of nitrogen fertilizer until now.
Spring ploughing has not yet begun, a new round of high-priced fertilizers have begun to sell, the price of the largest amount of nitrogen fertilizer has skyrocketed, and the overall fertilizer price has obviously increased by 300 yuan a ton compared with last year, an increase of more than 30%!
Unlike Yantai and Zhaoyuan, in the Luzhong Mountains, there has always been a tradition of using ammonium bicarbonate, which is also a choice that fruit farmers have to choose, but this year's situation is not optimistic.
The largest amount of ammonium bicarbonate, the increase fluctuated too much, many growers said they could not afford it.
Under such circumstances, more fruit growers have chosen to increase the use of organic fertilizers on farms.
Lao Liu planted 15 acres of yellow peaches, last year relying on yellow peaches family income reached 80,000 yuan, per capita cleaning increased by about 5200 yuan, but last year's most used carbon ammonia price was only 36 yuan a bag, this year 55 yuan, a bag rose 21 yuan, an increase of 60%.
Compared with last year, the use of Lao Liu fertilizer has been reduced a lot, carbon ammonia has only been purchased 5 tons, other compound fertilizers have also been reduced accordingly, and even did not reserve as in previous years.
Lao Liu said: "In the past, pig manure was not used, and the pig farmer begged to pull, and this year he wanted to sell 60 yuan a party!" ”
Who is responsible for the rise in fertilizer prices? What are the reasons for the soaring price of fertilizers?
1、
Commodities in the international market, tight supply, leading to the rise in domestic fertilizer prices, especially coal and basic raw materials, is the main culprit of fertilizer price increases.
The raw materials for the production of fertilizers have risen, the cost of fertilizer manufacturers has increased, and through the layers of price increases by dealers and retailers, the price of fertilizers in the hands of farmers has finally become much higher.
All in all, it is the farmers who ultimately pay the bill, because fertilizer is produced for farming, and it is impossible for farmers to plant land without fertilizer.
2、
The world is bustling, all for the benefit of the coming, the world is bustling, all for the benefit of the future. Upstream raw material prices rise, costs increase, fertilizer dealers see the trend of rising fertilizer prices, hoard fertilizers, so that the supply of fertilizers in the market is reduced, artificially causing the phenomenon of short supply.
Fertilizer is an essential means of production for farmers, and when farmers can't buy fertilizer, dealers sell it at a higher price.
Taking carbon ammonia as an example, dealers look down on it because its profits are too low, and selling a ton of carbon ammonia may not be as good as selling a bag of high-tower fertilizer. Therefore, among all fertilizers, the price increase of carbon ammonia is the largest. It's not too early to be profitable, and so are dealers.
3、
Oil prices have risen continuously over the past year, driving up the prices of commodities such as natural gas, which has increased the cost of producing fertilizers. Carbon ammonia manufacturers sell at a high price and enjoy it.
What are the consequences of the failure to contain fertilizer prices?
It is clear that farmers' inputs and outputs are not proportional to those, and they are gradually reducing the amount of fertilizer used, preferring not to invest rather than gamble on the uncertain future.
An old farmer in Dalian abandoned a few acres of land in remote areas this year, because the left calculation is not profitable, and he still accompanies the money, works hard for a year, and looks back to see that the white busy work is good.
