The Nitro-Calcium-Magnesium Fertilizer Branch of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association Established
Gu Zongqin, Chairman of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, and Zhang Luping, County Mayor of Jiaocheng County, unveiled the plaque marking the establishment of the Nitro-Calcium-Magnesium Fertilizer Branch of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association.
As is well known, a deficiency in calcium and magnesium significantly impairs the quality of agricultural products and reduces the lifespan of crops. Adequate calcium and magnesium enhance the rigidity of plant tissues, thicken cell walls, and reduce the invasion of pests and diseases. At the same time, they enable better control over stomatal opening and closing, helping plants conserve water and resist external stresses.

Jiaocheng in Shanxi Province is the country’s most concentrated hub for the production and sales of nitro-based products. Its current maximum production capacity has reached 1.9 million tons, with the main products including 1.1 million tons of ammonium nitrate calcium, 600,000 tons of nitro compound fertilizers, 40,000 tons of calcium magnesium nitrate, 120,000 tons of calcium magnesium nitrate, 30,000 tons of potassium nitrate, and other nitric acid-based products.
Other products amount to approximately 20,000 tons. Local synthetic ammonia production capacity is about 600,000 tons, and nitric acid (including projects under construction) exceeds 1.6 million tons, forming a unique nitro-based product industrial chain. Production and sales volumes are increasing at an annual rate of over 40%. The primary export products from Jiaocheng County are calcium nitrate and ammonium calcium nitrate.
The product accounts for 75% of the domestic market and over 50% of the international market. Jiaocheng has truly become China’s “Calcium Capital.” The establishment of the Nitro-Calcium-Magnesium Fertilizer Branch of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association aligns with the global demand for high-quality agricultural development.

More than 260 experts and representatives from the Department of Planting Industry of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Chinese Society of Plant Nutrition and Fertilizers, the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, professional associations for nitric and ammonium nitrates nationwide, nitrocalcium-magnesium fertilizer manufacturers, and relevant leaders from the Jiaocheng County People's Government jointly witnessed the event.
The Nitro-Calcium-Magnesium Fertilizer Branch of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association was established and officially unveiled.
In his speech, Gu Zongqin, Chairman of the China Nitrogen Fertilizer Industry Association, stated that nitrate calcium, ammonium nitrate calcium, magnesium nitrate, and other nitrate-based calcium-magnesium fertilizers are highly efficient fertilizers containing nitrate nitrogen and secondary nutrients. They have excellent water solubility and can be effectively integrated with fertigation systems. Moreover, these fertilizers can help improve acidic soils.
It can be used without causing soil compaction. High-quality agricultural development urgently calls for optimizing the structure of fertilizer products, and promoting the use of such products in agriculture is essential to improving both the quality and efficiency of farming. We hope that nitrate calcium-magnesium fertilizer companies will take technology as their driving force, with branch associations serving as a key cornerstone, and adopt a comprehensive approach.
Pursue a new path of diversified development for both domestic and international markets! At the same time, further promote the agricultural application of nitro-based fertilizers, break through bottlenecks in their adoption, and enable nitro-based products to play a vital role in the high-quality development of agriculture.
In her speech, Zhang Luping, the County Mayor of Jiaocheng County People's Government, stated that Jiaocheng County’s calcium nitrate and calcium ammonium nitrate products—its primary export items—account for 75% of the domestic market and more than 50% of the international market. Over the past two years, Jiaocheng County in Shanxi Province has seen its nitric acid production increase at a rate exceeding 20% annually, with nitro-...
New types of fertilizers are rapidly gaining momentum, and Jiaocheng is known in the industry as “China’s Calcium Capital.” A group of locally-based leading nitro-fertilizer companies with strong core competitiveness is rapidly emerging. Shanxi Huaxin Fertilizer Co., Ltd. utilizes coke oven gas from its parent group to achieve an annual production capacity of 180,000 tons of synthetic ammonia.
The 600,000-ton nitro compound fertilizer plant and the first-phase expansion of 400,000 tons of ammonium nitrate calcium capacity were put into operation in 2018. Jia Cheng County Jinlan Chemical Co., Ltd.'s magnesium nitrate drying technology is at an internationally leading level. Sanxi Chemical has an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons of dilute nitric acid and 30,000 tons of fine nitrates.
The project has also gone into production: Shanxi Leixin Chemical Co., Ltd. now produces 150,000 tons of nitric acid and 2.5 million tons of nitrate products annually, which are being distributed to markets; Shanxi Hongxing Chemical Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Belgium’s ANORELNV, has developed a water-soluble fertilizer containing fully nitrate-form nitrogen and trace elements, becoming the first product registered with the Ministry of Agriculture.
Products. The establishment of today’s branch is not only a major milestone for professional development but also a joyous occasion for Jiaocheng ammonium calcium enterprises! As the leader of Jiaocheng’s enterprises, I will strive to provide excellent services to businesses, foster a favorable development environment, and promote the healthy growth of the branch.
Xue Yandong, a researcher at the Fertilizer and Water-Saving Division of the Crop Management Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, stated that "reducing fertilizer application while enhancing efficiency" and promoting high-quality agricultural development are currently the key themes driving agricultural progress, and nitrocalcium-magnesium fertilizers—rich in plant nutrients—are bound to enter a period of rapid growth.
Du Sen, Director of the Water-Saving Division at the National Agricultural Skills Promotion Service Center, pointed out that in developed countries, nitrate nitrogen accounts for more than 30% of the total nitrogen used in agriculture. In China, this proportion is significantly lower, indicating huge market potential for nitrate-based fertilizers. He believes that fully water-soluble nitrate calcium-magnesium fertilizers are well-suited for water-saving agriculture and water management.
With the integrated application of fertilizers and the advancement of agricultural mechanization and pipeline fertilization, this type of product is poised for explosive growth.
Bai Youlu, Chairman of the China Society for Plant Nutrition and Fertilizers, delivered a special report titled “Prospects and Directions for the Development of Nitro-Calcium-Magnesium Fertilizers.” In his report, he analyzed the roles of calcium and magnesium in plant nutrition, emphasized the importance of scientifically and sustainably developing ammonium nitrate-calcium fertilizers, and examined this topic from the perspective of plant nutrition.
Look, the synergistic use of nitrocalcium-magnesium fertilizer with other nutrient elements will be a key direction for its future development, and it deserves particular attention from enterprises.
Sun Jifeng, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Regional Planning of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, delivered a report on the standardization research and industrial development of “Modified Ammonium Nitrate for Agricultural Use and Its Application Procedures” and “Calcium Ammonium Nitrate for Agricultural Use and Its Application Procedures.”
