With new flotation capacity, YPC continues to keep ahead in the beneficiation scale of phosphorus ore in China.

Hubei Xingfa joints hands with Wengfu Group to move into the business of phosphorus-fluorine integration.

Guiyang MIITC encourages that phosphorus mining enterprises should supply processed phosphorus products rather than directly selling phosphorus ore.

Both yellow phosphorus producers and government in origin of yellow phosphorus will keep a keen eye on energy conservation with the release of the 12th Five-Year Plan for Industrial Energy Conservation.

Yuntianhua Group releases preliminary restructuring plan—injecting phosphorus business assets into its listed company.

Affected by increasing import price of sulfur, Hubei Yihua acquired less from DAP business in 2011.

In 2012, although China is to supply more phosphate fertilizer, it'll have less impact on the current phosphate fertilizer market due to the fact that the new increased capacity of phosphate fertilizer is limited.

Several phosphorus enterprises have found partners at the Yunnan-Vietnam Economy and Trade Cooperation Conference held in Hanoi City in Apr. 2012.

In face of low capacity utilization of STPP, large-scale phosphate producers are able to escape the depressed market of STPP on their own strength, while other small-scale phosphate producers have to look forward to policy guidance.

Hubei Xingfa furthers the development of phosphorus business through capital increases in its subsidiary.

Most phosphorus products continue to keep a high level in the average export price but with a decrease in export volume.

Phosphorus ore finally has its new price in 2012, generally increasing by more than USD12/t in each main production area except Sichuan.

Welcome to CCM International's new issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report in Apr. 2012.

In general, energy conversation and industrialized transition upgrades currently have become the prime goal in China during the period of 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015). Therefore, the entire industry in China is bound to increase the investment of corresponding projects regarding energy saving, environmental protection and technology innovation.

For phosphorus industry, it also means a challenge to complete such transition—promoting utilization of low-grade phosphorus ore, improving purification technology of wet-process phosphoric acid and increasing investment on studying the production of fine phosphate chemicals.

Apart from phosphate fertilizer, relatively speaking, other downstream phosphorus products have lacklustre performance on sales and prices due to being short of entry criteria. Obviously, as upstream resources—phosphorus ore is inevitably to remain at a high price for its scarcity value, downstream phosphorus enterprises need to improve additional value for their products in case that the profit is swallowed by increased cost.

This March, each phosphorus mining enterprise has set their new price in accordance with the present market situation. In addition to the intense supply in phosphorus ore and yellow phosphorus, other phosphorus products generally remain their previous situation—low sales.
