Fertilizer innovations under Fertilizer Classification and Requirements: Stepping on the brakes or adding fuel?


Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has solicited opinions on the national compulsory standards for “Fertilizer Grading and Requirements”. No accidents occurred. This standard will soon be promulgated and implemented. The new standard divides fertilizers into ecological, farmland and garden grades, and has many binding provisions. At present, the innovation of fertilizer products is in full swing, but some people have also questioned whether fertilizer innovation should be braked.

Party A - fertilizer innovation should step on the brakes

Fertilizer innovation was originally a matter worthy of encouragement, but in China's current fertilizer industry, this issue must be specifically analyzed. In a nutshell, innovation has two orientations. One is marketing-oriented innovation, such as changing packaging, starting a name, and adding a gimmick. This is to meet the needs of market-differentiated marketing. Old bottles of new wine and soup are not available. Changing crops; another crop-oriented innovation, based on the characteristics of crop nutrients, combined with local soil, climate and planting habits, targeted development of new products, this is a true innovation.

We have to admit that marketing-oriented innovation is still going strong. To prove this, it is not necessary to judge from a technical point of view. As long as we look around at the market, it is not difficult to find that: The production companies push new products year after year, and change packaging every year. How quickly can fertilizer technology progress? I am afraid it is not necessary; farmers rarely loyal to a certain brand. This is not a peasant. It is rather old and new, but because the so-called new products do not bring crops high yields. Some people frequently use the hats with poor technical skills to detain the peasants. In fact, there are quite a few reasons for this. New fertilizer advertisements have been blown out of steam. But when they arrive in the ground, they show up and the farmers constantly change their products. It reflects the distrust of so-called new products.

At present, China's fertilizer industry does have signs of over-innovation. The NPK fertilizer chemical manufacturing process has long been a mature technology, but today's fertilizer companies have made the simple chemical fertilizer extremely complex through secondary processing and assisting various efficiency-enhancing technologies. Senior fertilizer experts also directly refrain from reading. In the United States, on the other hand, the type of fertilizer is much simpler than in China. Basically, NPK fertilizers are the main raw materials. Thirty years ago, the United States also developed compound fertilizers. However, in the past 30 years, the United States has adopted soil testing, formula fertilization techniques and socialized services, changed the development of compound fertilizers in the past, and embarked on the agrochemical service plus bulk fertilizer (BB Fat) road.

Over-innovation in fertilizers is misleading the direction of an industry. The introduction of fertilizer grading standards is equivalent to setting a negative list for fertilizer innovation, stepping on a brake, and putting on a green firewall, so we should like it.

Party B - Emerging industries want to add fuel

Although there are false fires in fertilizer innovation, they cannot be completely eliminated. On the whole, the Chinese fertilizer companies are correct on the main line of innovation. This is an issue that surrounds green agriculture. This is also a global trend.

In China, the development of new fertilizers is supported by clear government endorsements and policy documents. From the roots, this is due to China's national conditions and agricultural conditions.

The United States is a representative of modern agriculture, and large-scale agriculture is suitable for large-scale, mechanized, and precise operations. The resulting fertilizer requirements are not the same. In terms of scale, the United States does not need to mass-produce small-package fertilizers like China, but instead adopts tons of tons of barrels, which greatly reduces the cost, and the scale of production and use, and the brand awareness of fertilizers is greatly increased. Weakening; Second, from the perspective of mechanization and precision, the two are complementary, because the use of machine fertilization can achieve deep fertilizer and a small number of multiple fertilization, do not need to pass all kinds of compound, increase efficiency, as in China, through The combination of technology and product technology provides farmers with fool-like products and relatively scientific fertilization.

Obviously, this is two different directions of development. We can't use the American model to set China's agricultural situation. In view of the fact that China's small-scale peasant economy will still exist for a long time, various compound fertilizers characterized by the combination of technologies will still have a strong vitality. Various synergies will be performed on ordinary compound fertilizers to realize various additional functions. This innovative space is still very Large, fertilizer companies still need to work hard.

In a budding, developing, and mature life cycle of an emerging industry, innovation bias at a certain stage can be understood. All innovations cannot be accomplished overnight, and they all need to bear the cost of trial and error. The introduction of fertilizer grading standards, not to brake the innovation, but to make new fertilizer development more regulations.

Therefore, we must not take into account some of the problems existing in the current new fertilizer field, but we do not see Taishan in sight. To develop new fertilizers that are more efficient and environmentally friendly, should not only step on the brakes, but also add fuel.
