HC Chemical Network News, Southwest this year, serious droughts occur once every hundred years. Due to the recent Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan four provinces still no effective rainfall in most arid areas, drought continues to grow. Arid Regions Industry of Yunnan Province from the main characteristics of view, the continuing drought for the future may be a serious impact on the demand for potassium sulfate.
According to National Headquarters Office of Statistics, as of April 9, Southwest 5 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) drought area of 9553 mu of cultivated land, crops have been affected 7516 hectares (2464 mu of dry weight, dry 1644 mu) until the lack of moisture in dry sowing of cultivated land 2037 mu. Severe drought on the Southwest Fertilizer The impact is all-round. Since last fall, as from the continuing drought, the land has been very dry, chemical fertilizers can not spread to the ground. Local demand for fertilizers down, forcing the enterprises to seek other markets. In addition to fertilizer Sell , The drought on the Southwest fertilizer production and transport would also have no small impact. With water-based Southwest, a direct result of drought water shortage, some of the major fertilizer companies rely on water to guarantee electricity, had to cut and even discontinued. Shipping for some southwest fertilizer business is important or even the main way of transportation, inadequate water depth caused by drought, the output of chemical fertilizer has a significant influence.
From well known that Yunnan is the largest tobacco-growing base of Yunnan tobacco as the most important pillar industry, but tobacco is typically avoid chlorine crops, tobacco need special fertilizer of potassium sulfate. The drought of tobacco in Yunnan province, shifting cultivation of tobacco will be affected, which may impact on the demand for potassium sulfate.
4 months and in May half of the season transplanting tobacco, but tobacco transplanting need water, one needs 15 kg of tobacco water. Because the effects of drought, in Qujing, Yuxi and other places, many of the original fertile soil to plant tobacco, has become a yellow land. Because too little water the earth, they might want to Baihua Qian, some farmers would not easily give way to this year's tobacco seedlings Zairu field. If the initial period of tobacco seedlings, there may be one solution, then the labor movement of water, tobacco transplanting a large area, if God still Buzuo Mei, a much greater difficulty of solving the water. It is reported that the major tobacco producing in Qujing meteorological department expects to have rain by the end of May, while the May 20 deadline basic is the tobacco transplanting date, if it does not go before transplanting, tobacco is likely to cut. Of course, as the pillar industries in Yunnan Province, the local will to secure all aspects of tobacco cultivation, preliminary plans have been developed, adopted a focus on breeding and other measures to mitigate the impact of drought on tobacco growing, but if the drought continued to develop, if people and livestock drinking water can If difficulties occur, the tobacco water security can only be forced to rely upon the. Tobacco this year will certainly impact the drought, but on the extent size are not completely sure. So more or less tobacco-specific fertilizer affected, potassium sulfate will naturally be implicated.
As spring land preparation needs, pre-business plan to full capacity production of fertilizer, agricultural departments have prepared an ample supply. However, drought in southwest and northern areas late spring to greatly reduced demand for fertilizer, chemical fertilizer products has led to sluggish sales, rising inventories. Fertilizer companies should be doing this, continued drought in preparation. The face of natural disasters, the demand of fertilizer business may not do anything, only for points in the supply-side articles, through cuts or changing products, or use this time to repair, etc., to avoid excessive supply and demand imbalance.
