The fertilizer industry in China is the production of nitrogenous fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, potash fertilizers and compound fertilizers. In 2009, H1, China's production of chemical fertilizers was 32.504 million tons, an increase of 9.50% yoy. Production of Shandong, Hubei, Henan, Hunan, Sichuan and ranks among the Top 5, which produces a total of 45.86% from that of China. Inner Mongolia, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and Guizhou reached the highest annual growth. In 2009, H1, Chinese production of nitrogen fertilizers reached 24.216 million tons. Production of Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Shanxi and ranked among the top 5, which was 48,26% of total production in China. In 2009, H1, the output of China reached 6.733 million tons of phosphate fertilizers. Productions of Hubei, Yunnan, Shandong, Guizhou and Anhui, is among the Top 5, which produces a total of 69.25% that of China. In 2009, H1, potash fertilizer in China was 1.549 million tonnes. Production of Qinghai, Xinjiang, Henan, Shandong and Inner Mongolia is among the Top 5, which was 95,26% of total production in China. From January to May 2009, turnover of China's fertilizer industry was RMB 175.059 billion, growing 0.74% year. The total profit reached RMB 6.931 billion, down from 7.711 billion RMB ia. Return on sales (ROS) was 3.96%, falling to 4.15% yoy. Loss of unprofitable enterprises reached 3.891 billion RMB, an increase of 362.63% yoy. The growth increased by 319.38% yoy. The price of chemical fertilizers in China began to decline since mid-March 2009. The decline accelerated in the mid-May and late fertilizer product prices much lower than during the difficult period of financial crisis, hit the lowest point in two years. Since May, prices of urea, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, compound fertilizers, potassium fertilizers, monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate and ammonium chloride are decreasing. This was mainly due to oversupply. In 2009, H1, maintenance of fixed asset investments in the fertilizer industry in China are high. Investment in fixed assets in nitrogen fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, potash fertilizers and compound fertilizers increased by 11.2% yoy, yoy from 73.7%, 46.9% and 67.4% ia ia, respectively. Investment in new projects initiated by nitrogen fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, potash fertilizers and compound fertilizers increased by 2.3% year on year by 41.8% yoy, 26.7% and 72.7% ia ia respectively. The market in 2009, H1, it is estimated that the productivity of China's chemical fertilizers will increase in 2009 H2 hold, but the imbalance between supply and demand exists. The productivity of fertilizer nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer production will exceed production will exceed demand. Moreover, (contradiction between supply and demand of potassium caused by the limited domestic sources) will be released. It is expected that the excess capacity of fertilizer nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers in China 5 million tons and will exceed 2.5 million tonnes respectively. The potash fertilizer supply will exceed demand, ie, China's production and storage to meet domestic demand.
