Believe it or not?China's agricultural fertilizers remain high!
Pharmaceuticalization of the fertilizer industry.
Similar to the low R&D costs and high marketing costs of pharmaceutical companies, many fertilizer companies also place more emphasis on promotion than technology development. In this case, the basic fertilizer could not meet the profit needs of the merchants, so the compound fertilizer gradually replaced the basic fertilizer. However, the secondary processing nature of compound fertilizers comes with additional costs.
Processing compound fertilizer requires secondary logistics, and the cost of each ton of compound fertilizer increases by at least 100 yuanAt the same time, the processing cost, sales cost, management cost, financial cost and profit of compound fertilizer enterprises are not less than 300 yuan per ton;In addition, the profit of dealers and retailers is not less than 300 yuan per ton. In total, the cost per ton of compound fertilizer is 900 yuan. While this figure may be slightly off, it is basically close to the actual situation. Even though China's basic fertilizer is lower than that of the world, it is difficult to deny the fact that Chinese farmers use the most expensive fertilizer in the world.
The process of producing compound fertilizers not only wastes energy, but also causes environmental pollution. Although compound fertilizer companies and distributors have profited from this and solved the employment problem, the ultimate cost is borne by farmers. A few years ago, my company planned to produce compound fertilizers, but I was adamantly against it because I thought it was a project that would harm farmers. However, in recent years, the development momentum of compound fertilizer has become more vigorous, and the range of farmers' choices is getting smaller and smaller, and farmers in many places only know compound fertilizer and urea, and other fertilizer products are difficult to find.
Despite the low cost of fertilizer** in the domestic market, Chinese farmers are still using the world's most expensive fertilizer. The medical industry has been corrected through policies such as anti-corruption and public bidding, but the fertilizer industry lacks a guidance mechanism. From energy conservation and emission reduction to protecting farmers' interests and national food security, we all need to face up to the damage caused by compound fertilizers to China's agriculture. If the fertilizer market is allowed to develop, the consequences will be very serious. It is hoped that the ** sector will attach great importance to the deformed fertilizer market.
Nutrients of compound fertilizers.
In addition to pharmaceuticalization, compound fertilizers are also affected by nutraceuticals. In agricultural production, farmers pursue high-yielding and high-quality crops, which requires adequate nutrition. Compound fertilizer companies have taken advantage of this demand by packaging compound fertilizers as super nutrients, claiming that the use of compound fertilizers can improve the yield and quality of crops. However, this hype is often exaggerated and one-sided.
Compound fertilizers do provide a variety of nutrients, but they are not a panacea. In fact, the adaptability of compound fertilizers to different crops and soils is not consistent. Sometimes, excessive use of compound fertilizers can even lead to soil nutrient imbalances, which in turn can affect the growth and development of crops. Therefore, before using compound fertilizer, farmers should carry out scientific fertilization according to the actual situation to ensure the rational use of fertilizer and obtain good crop yield and quality.
In addition, the hygienic productization of compound fertilizers also has the problem of inflated height. Many compound fertilizer companies position it as a high-end product, so it tends to be higher. Farmers buy these products, which not only increases the cost of agricultural production, but also intensifies abnormal competition in the fertilizer market. To solve this problem, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and control of compound fertilizers to protect the interests of farmers and ensure the normal operation of the fertilizer market.
The impact of compound fertilizers.
In addition to medicines and health products, compound fertilizers are also victims of pyramid schemes. Some compound fertilizer companies take advantage of pyramid schemes to expand their sales networks by constantly developing their downlines in order to earn higher profits. This practice is often detrimental to consumers.
First of all, there is a pyramid structure in the MLM model, and the bottom consumers are often the biggest victims. In this model, consumers must buy a certain amount of products from their superiors and bring new offspring in order to reap the rewards. However, many consumers are unable to reap the benefits of these requirements because they are unable to meet them. This multinational model often brings financial losses and psychological stress. Secondly, the quality of products under the MLM model is often not guaranteed. In order to increase sales, MLM companies tend to reduce the cost of products, which affects the quality of products. As a result, consumers often do not have access to products that meet the standards, and may even buy low-quality products, which has a negative impact on agricultural production.
In order to solve the problem of commercialization of compound fertilizers, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the fertilizer market, crack down on commercialization, and protect the rights and interests of consumers. At the same time, it is necessary to step up propaganda and education among the peasants, enhance their awareness of prevention, and prevent the peasants from being exploited by lawless elements.
Summary. The fertilizer industry has problems such as pharmaceuticalization, hygienic production and pyramid marketing. Pharmaceuticalization has led to the widespread use of compound fertilizers, which has increased the production cost of farmersHygienic production has brought the problem of inflated height;MLM puts financial and psychological pressure on consumers. In view of these problems, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of the fertilizer industry, improve the awareness of scientific fertilization of farmers, and protect the rights and interests of consumers, so as to achieve the healthy development of the fertilizer market.
