In recent years, in the fertilizer market in Ningwu County, the sales of urea, which has always played the leading role, have decreased year by year. Why urea fell out of favor year by year, the author had the privilege to accompany the Ningwu County Consumers Association and Ningwu County Bureau of Industry and Commerce related personnel to go deep into the countryside to conduct a more detailed investigation of this phenomenon, and visited some large farming families and ordinary farmers. Through investigation, it was found that urea fell out of favor year after year. There are actually some reasons.
First of all, there was more room for selection in the early years. The most important fertilizer market was ammonium bicarbonate, phosphate fertilizer, and urea, and urea was welcomed by farmers for its high nitrogen content and strong stability. At that time, the farmers wanted to buy a few bags of urea and they had to trust the relationship and go back to the back door. But now it is different. The fertilizer industry in our country has made great progress. What is the "diammonium," "heavy calcium," "** phosphate," and "phosphorus? There are various types of potassium, special corn, and biological fertilizers. In the agricultural resources market in Ningwu County, there are 38 kinds of fertilizers, and there are many varieties, so there is plenty of room for selection. The sales volume of urea is also large. Naturally reduced.
Secondly, the concept of fertilization has changed a lot. The vast majority of farmers are mainly farmers. Therefore, they will focus their efforts on those contracted lands and intensively cultivate them. Especially for big autumn crops, at least one fat or two fats must be added. The top-dressing fertilizer is naturally dominated by urea. But now it is different, more and more farmers are mainly engaged in business and business. Therefore, the vast majority of farmers will choose "slugger cultivation method", that is, just planting and collection, regardless of topdressing weeding, weeding once again on the herbicide, and extrusion time to work to do business more cost-effective. As a result, topdressing will be significantly reduced. Less fertilizer, urea will not need to buy, how can sales not fall.
Once again, the packaging is a bit big. From the investigation of the agricultural material market in Ningwu County, the fertilizer packaging has gradually become smaller and more diversified. Most of the fertilizers were changed to 40 kilograms of 1 bag, 25 kilograms and 10 kilograms of packaging, which is suitable for both farmers and farmers. However, only urea is a large bag of 50 kg. Today, young and middle-aged peasants are working outside. Only elderly people and women are left at home, and their physical strength is limited. It is a bit too laborious for a large package of 50 kilograms, but there is no small package to choose from. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to give up. Large packaging and packaging without personality are another reason for the reduction in urea sales.
The fourth is the manual is a bit less. In fact, in the fertilizer market, urea can be considered a “big brotherâ€, but from the Ningwu chemical fertilizer market, this “big brother†did not bring the “big brother†head, so far There is no "manual" attached. Most of the farmers use them when they use them. Although farmers have repeatedly appealed, many urea producers remain indifferent. Can not help the farmers a little disappointed.
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that urea sales have been declining year by year. However, urea production companies should also look for the reasons themselves and make more improvements to meet the needs of farmers.
