Industry Trends

In 2003, only 25% of the fertilizers used in China’s agricultural industry were organic (Source:Agriculture Technology Promotion Centre), however, agriculture specialists suggest that the optimal ratio of organic versus chemical fertilizer should be around 50% as it is in developed countries (Source: Chinese Chemical & Industrial Technology Research Institute). In 2005, compound fertilizer accounted for 27% of the total fertilizer consumed in China,  however the quality is generally very low leading to ecosystem degradation (Source: Ministry of Agriculture). Organic compound fertilizer comprises a balance of both organic and inorganic substances, thereby combining the speedy effectiveness of chemical fertilizers with the environmental benefits of the organic ones, hence ensuring vast room for its future development in the Chinese agricultural production system.
