Title: Analysis of characteristics and trends of development of chemical fertilizer in the world
Abstract: The characteristics and trends of the global chemical fertilizer development are analyzed based on the international data of fertilizer production and consumption.The history of global fertilizer production and consumption can be divided into 3 stages of increase,decrease,and increase again.The regional distribution shows that the main regions of fertilizer production and consumption have been transferred to developing countries;the main region of consumption has changed to the countries that have larger population and bigger scale of agriculture,and the main regions of production to the countries which have more resources and much more consumption.For the structure of fertilizer varieties,the ratio of high analysis fertilizers such as urea,ammonium phosphate,potassium chloride obviously increases,and the consumption of traditional fertilizers such as ammonium sulphate,potassium sulphate,and calcium superphosphate decreases in most countries.The future trends of fertilizer development will be to keep further increase in fertilizer production and consumption,continue adjusting the regional distribution of fertilizer production and consumption,mending the incorporate pace of global fertilizer market and strengthening the ability for some large-scale international fertilizer companies to control the regional fertilizer market.
