1、Nitrogen Fertilizer Demand in China in the Context of Green Development

Nitrogen fertilizer is essential for food security, but its excessive application leads to reactive nitrogen emissions, causing severe environmental issues. In the new era of promoting green development, clarifying China's reasonable nitrogen fertilizer demand and pathways for reducing chemical nitrogen fertilizer is crucial for agricultural ...

2、Managing nitrogen to achieve sustainable food

Nitrogen holds a crucial place in sustaining the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus, which underpins human society. Its importance spans food production, energy generation, and water quality...

3、Global nitrogen fertiliser demand and supply: trend, current level and

Future demand is likely to be driven by a broader set of considerations, including the need to reduce environmental impacts from nutrient losses. The paper analyzes global nitrogen (N) fertilizer demand and supply trends and outlook under this changing operating environment.

The nexus of geopolitics, decarbonization, and food security gives rise

We identify three drivers altering the global political economy of fertilizers: a rapidly changing supply structure, increasingly influenced by China; geopolitical competition amplified by the war in Ukraine and growing food insecurity in the Global South; and the decarbonization imperative.

The nitrogen fertilizer conundrum: why is yield a poor determinant of

The application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer both underpins high productivity of agricultural systems and contributes to multiple environmental harms. The search for ways that farmers can optimize the N fertilizer applications to their crops is of global significance.

Demand and Supply Functions for Nitrogen Fertilizers in the United States

Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine limited fertilizer supply and import-export restrictions drove up prices for fertilizer and natural gas, which is a primary input in the production of nitrogen fertilizer.

The Development and Contribution of Nitrogenous Fertilizer in

【Method】This study analyzed the sources of nitrogen in ecosystem, its contribution to crop production and protein production, and nitrogen balance through food chain model.

Tracking Carbon and Ammonia Emission Flows of China’s Nitrogen

To assess the impact of domestic demand and international exports, we quantified the life-cycle CO 2 eq and ammonia (NH 3) emissions by tracking carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) flows from coal/gas mining through ammonia production to N fertilizer production, application, and export.

Demand and Supply Balance of Fertilizer Resources in China Based on

Fertilizer is an important resource for agricultural development, and nitrogen fertilizer is a most important fertilizer variety in China. The major factors influencing fertilizer supply include domestic production and import and export.

Public Summary Medium

Trade was facilitated by governments, NGOs and industry, who stepped in to support fertilizer supply chains. New trade partners emerged, particularly in economies with low exposure to the US dollar. Raw material prices declined as energy markets adjusted to reduced reliance on Russian supply.

The supply-demand balance in the nitrogen fertilizer industry chain is primarily influenced by the following factors:

1. Agricultural Production Demand: Agriculture is the main consumer of nitrogen fertilizers. Farmers use nitrogen fertilizers to improve crop yield and quality, creating a stable demand for nitrogen fertilizers. This forms the foundation for balancing supply and demand in the market.

2. Production Capacity of Nitrogen Fertilizer Enterprises: Nitrogen fertilizer producers can expand production scales by improving efficiency and reducing costs. Additionally, technological innovations have enhanced the quality and performance of nitrogen fertilizers, enabling them to meet the needs of different crops and soil types.

3. Price Mechanisms in the Nitrogen Fertilizer Market: Under market economy conditions, price fluctuations impact supply-demand balance. When market prices exceed production costs, producers increase supply; when prices fall below costs, supply contracts. Consumers also adjust purchasing behavior based on price changes, further influencing balance.

4. Government Policies: Policies such as subsidies and tax incentives directly affect nitrogen fertilizer production and consumption. For example, governments may subsidize manufacturers to boost production or offer tax breaks to farmers to lower purchase costs, both of which alter supply-demand dynamics.

5. International Trade: Globalization has made international trade a key factor. Countries importing large quantities of nitrogen fertilizers may face domestic supply shortages, while exporting countries increase global supply. These flows significantly impact balance.

6. Technological Advancement: Innovations in production processes reduce costs and improve efficiency, while new fertilizer formulations cater to diverse agricultural needs, expanding market demand.

7. Environmental Protection: Growing environmental awareness has led some regions to restrict nitrogen fertilizer use to curb pollution. Such policies directly influence production and consumption patterns.

8. Social Factors: Population growth raises food demand (and thus nitrogen fertilizer needs), while limited land resources constrain production capacity. These factors interact to shape supply-demand trends.

the balance in the nitrogen fertilizer industry arises from interconnected factors: agricultural demand, production capacity, market pricing, government policies, international trade, technological progress, environmental regulations, and social dynamics. Together, these elements determine the equilibrium in the nitrogen fertilizer market.
