Li Dongsheng introduced to reporters that at present nitrogen fertilizer companies in Ningxia white coal as raw materials in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Inner Mongolia are plunged into unprecedented difficulties, and coal prices have risen one after another, which not only seriously affects the production of enterprises, but also has forced the urea production line to reduce load. Until the suspension of production. Take Ulashan Fertilizer Co., Ltd. as an example. Last year, the mining price of white coal in Ningxia was 660 yuan/ton, and it has now risen to 1,300 yuan/ton, and the price of coal is almost the same as a day. "Perhaps it will go back to the price of coal. Going up one piece, this coal price makes it impossible to maintain urea production,†said Li Dongsheng.
In the past month, domestic coal prices have generally risen rapidly from about 900 yuan to 1,200 yuan, and the urea price of urea at 1500 yuan/ton has not changed. Many nitrogen fertilizer companies have been overwhelmed and some companies have already cut production. The measures to deal with rising raw materials and insufficient supply.
In addition, the pressure on companies in terms of shipping costs is not small. Chen Li, director of Shaanxi Qinling Chemical Fertilizer Plant, said: “Last year at this time, the ore price of small-scale white coal was only 450 yuan, and the large mine was around 620 yuan. In April of this year, the price of iron ore shipped was 1,100 yuan, and the steam shipped out. The ore price is 1,200 yuan. Just after receiving the rising information, Qiyun Mining's price has risen to 1,500 yuan."
The leader of Henan Pingdingshan Flight Chemical (Group) Co., Ltd. told reporters that the coal's factory price is now over 1,100 yuan/ton, and the supply is very tight. “Sometimes there is supply, but no wagons and wagons have become a headache for people.†The official said, “Although preferential tariffs are implemented, there are no wagons and everything is equal to waste.†The supply of coal is tight and transportation is difficult. As a result, the company has now shifted its production focus back to a small nitrogen fertilizer plant with a small amount of “coalâ€.
"Now coal is not only a problem of high prices, but it is often out of stock," said Li Xiang of Zhangjiakou Shuanghuan Chemical Fertilizer Co., Ltd. Compared to the North China region where transportation is more convenient in the northwest, the price of nitrogen to the factory is slightly lower, but prices above RMB 1,100/ton still make the company feel bad. “Originally this price can buy very good quality coal, and now the quality of coal is obviously lower than a grade, and the production cost of enterprises will be correspondingly increased, but it is better than no coal.†said Li Xiang.
It is understood that the nitrogen fertilizer industry uses about 90 million tons of coal throughout the year, while the coal supply contract signed in 2008 was 36.396 million tons, and only 26.675 million tons was actually included in the national transportation framework plan. From this point of view, nitrogen fertilizer companies without coal resources face severe problems of survival. “Now the country imposes a special export tariff of 100% on fertilizer exports. As a result, export prices are 500-600 yuan higher than in the international market. Exporting this road is no longer possible.†An Guangxi export accounted for nearly half of its output. The general manager of the fertilizer company told reporters at the meeting. He said that now that domestic coal prices are skyrocketing, coupled with the factory price of chemical fertilizers, the profits of enterprises have been drastically reduced. "If this continues for a long time, companies will certainly cut production or even stop production."
Pneumatic nitrogen fertilizer companies have not had a good day. Seeing the mad increase in coal prices, gas companies are basically under the fear of rising natural gas prices. “We now have a factory price of natural gas of 0.9 yuan/m3, a gas consumption of more than 300 million m3 in a year, and a one-cent increase in natural gas will affect us by tens of millions of yuan.†The head of a nitrogen fertilizer company in Gansu is At the meeting, this told reporters. In addition, the supply of natural gas is also a pain in the heart of nitrogen fertilizer companies. In particular, nitrogen gas fertilizer companies far from gas sources are often involved in "air-breathing". Li Xuchu, vice president of Sichuan Golden Elephant Chemical Industry Group, said at the meeting that in order to secure a more abundant and cheaper source of natural gas, the group will build a new nitrogen fertilizer plant in Xinjiang with ample raw materials.
In response to the company's opinions, the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association said at the meeting that the Association was entrusted by the National Development and Reform Commission to supervise the work of key fertilizer companies in the supervision of coal contracts, and was concerned about the current soaring price of raw coal. The association called on local companies to submit reports on the increase in prices of raw coal as soon as possible in order to summarize and report to the relevant national authorities. At the same time, the association also stated that it will continue to apply to the relevant state departments to increase the urea factory ex-factory price in the current situation of sharp increases in raw materials such as coal to maintain the normal operation of the company.
