In 2008, there are significant changes in China's macro-economy and policies. Maintained in 5 consecutive years of growth, macro-economic development in the second half of 2008 has obviously slowed down. Since the beginning of the implementation of steady fiscal policy and tight monetary policy, in the fourth quarter to turn a proactive fiscal policy and moderate monetary policy and taken a number of measures to expand domestic demand and exports to enhance and stimulate economic growth. In the external economic front, the economic recession has spread around the world as a result of the international financial crisis, and China's economy is running a serious negative impact.

In this context, all kind of good and bad factors continuously impact China's chemical fertilizer industry the fertilizer market in 2008 showed the trend of twists and turns of the shock.

On the one hand, the government take some measures like increasing investment in agriculture and subsidies, new food production capacity planning, and increase grains purchase prices, and other measures to make grains and other agricultural harvests year after year the situation arise, form a strong support to fertilizer production, demand and investment. In the first half year of 2008, the domestic fertilizer production and demand remains relatively strong, exports hit the highest level in the same period, the industry profit rose to its highest point since 2006. On the other hand, costs of raw materials, energy, human resources, environmental protection were rising trend. And are subject to serious constraints on the international market, and form pressure to chemical fertilizer companies. Further tightening policy environment in macro-control, planning and industry investment, import and export, environmental protection, the fertilizer industry to increase the negative effects. Since the second half of 2008, the fertilizer industry face unfavorable situation like weakness in domestic consumption, exports stagnated, prices crash and production decline, the industry profit margins have also dropped significantly.

As an international financial crisis broke out, in the fourth quarter of 2008 the Chinese Government introduced a number of policy and planning measures to prevent the slowdown in economic growth, particularly lower substantial chemical fertilizer export tariffs, making fertilizer policy environment has improved, thus contributing to the chemical fertilizer market to stabilize.

Long-term international financial and economic crisis, and domestic risk of deflation has been greater than inflation risks, to stimulate economic growth will be a major goal of China's macro-economic policies in 2009. Fertilizer industry is expected to be a degree of ease pressure in the policy environment, supply of raw materials; but slow increase in demand, corporate financing chain tension, increasing market uncertainty of international chemical fertilizers and raw materials, and other negative factors still continue to develop. Therefore, China fertilizer market will continue to be a complicated and ever-changing situation in 2009.

On the basis of comprehensive analysis of the recall on the China fertilizer market policies and market trends in 2008, combined operation of the national economy and policy changes, BOABC will make a clear analysis to the 2009 China fertilizer market in a more in-depth analysis, for attention to China's fertilizer market to provide decision-making.
