"China - Peoples Republic of Fertilizer"

"The following report highlights the production, consumption, and functions of the most popular fertilizers in the China market. This includes nitrogenous, phosphate, potash, and the most common compound fertilizers, along with other alternative types of fertilizer. It also includes fertilizer import and export activity in China and draws conclusions why certain countries are key players. The issue of subsidies and domestic production protection by the government is also discussed."



Now this is intresting to get an overview of types and consumption etc.. of fertilizer in China. Even though the report is from 2009, I think some inferences can be made. I noticed the following in article:

"Currently, China imports the majority of its fertilizers from Russia, followed by Belarus and Germany purchasing $613.174 million, $328.580 million, and $184.683 million in 2009 respectively. From Russia, potassic mineral or chemical fertilizer, also known as potash, is the main import and accounts for over 38 percent of total fertilizer imports to China."
