This is why ABCD is hard to be hit hard.
But is this industrial chain really slack?
If the era before the twentieth century was farmland agriculture; The post-20th century era is chemical fertilizer agriculture.
The former farming depends on fertile fields and climate environment, and modern agriculture depends on chemical fertilizers, pesticides and mechanization.
Chemical fertilizer is the foundation of modern agriculture, and even the nutrient base of soil cultivation needs the support of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements 2.
Without the support of chemical fertilizer, the agricultural output may drop by about 5%, which is an extremely important link in modern agriculture.
Nitrogen fertilizer can be refined by nitrogen in the atmosphere, but potash fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer need to be refined by minerals. The shortage of potash fertilizer production in ordinary seawater and the competition of land mineral refining are even more difficult to compete with the three major mining groups
Although ABCD has deep pockets, it is extremely difficult to stabilize its potash fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer, because the pricing of minerals and synthetic fertilizers is pinched by three major mining groups.
The three major mining groups also deliberately pulled up the price of plateau materials ABCD suppressed them into fertilizer prices, causing losses.
Now their Qihe holding fertilizer producers will lose tens of meters per ton of potash fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and compound fertilizer, and some enterprises will lose hundreds of meters per ton.
Only by the continuous blood transfusion of the whole regiment can we barely survive. The more we produce, the more we lose money, and the production is not competitive. Except for ABCD, he needs to buy it himself. Farms and farmers all purchase the products from China Chemical Fertilizer Consortium.
Even Australian farmers and agricultural companies close to ABCD have to purchase Chinese chemical fertilizers. After all, they have a huge amount of chemical fertilizers, which will further weaken their agricultural competitiveness if the chemical fertilizers are too high.
For example, if the price of fertilizer goes up, the forage and feed of Australian dairy enterprises will float with it, which will drive the milk to rise.
Nothing before, but in the past two years, the price of international milk system has also been low, and they can barely compete with the agricultural reclamation alliance. Once the milk is made up, it may lead to their great defeat in supporting Mongolian sheep and raccoon dogs.
Chemical fertilizer is the core link in the agro-industrial chain. When the price fluctuates, it will take the lead and leave.

Once again, the presidents of ABCD’s four major grain groups appeared here in a low profile and called a secret meeting.
Yaris, the president of Adanmi Company, the old white man with aquiline nose knocked on the table. "The swine fever offensive is not obvious."
On the left hand side, David Solomon, the president of Bangji, showed a fierce look. "yaris, we must ensure the stability and security of the fertilizer industry, or the consequences will be very serious."
William A. cakir, the president of Cargill, a Scottish middle-aged man with dark red hair and green pupils, is also worried. Although Cargill is the strongest and only company in ABCD without a market, the fluctuation of fertilizer prices still has a great impact on their company.
Roger Brown, the president of Louis Dreyfus, a young Gaul man, has a face full of old spots. Recently, he really felt great pressure because of the embarrassing counterattack.
Roger’s old voice rang out in the conference room, "The sudden reduction of production of Moroccan phosphate company is the Gaul behind the three major mining industries. Although the influence of northwest Africa is very great, the Moroccan phosphate company base is out of control."
"Damn it, can’t you limit what these guys want?" Yaris was furious.
It is no wonder that they are so angry from embarrassment that they are now planning to tear the ABCD industry chain and take the fertilizer industry in their industry chain
Once it is taken to the chemical fertilizer industry, they have worked hard to lay out the ball industry chain for decades, and there will be a big gap.
First, they didn’t expect that people would dominate the ore market and manipulate the prices of phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer, so that ABCD banner chemical fertilizer enterprises would enter a state of production or loss.
William thought for a moment and said, "Expand the mineral resources in other areas?"
Roger shook his head with age. "No, I contacted several mining companies, and they all said they didn’t want to develop phosphate mines and potash mines because the risks were too great."
Yaris and Solomon also frowned. Except for the three major mining conglomerates, he wanted to mine things without going to the pier. I’m afraid he had too much money.
Even if it went into bankruptcy and reorganization, Maple Leaf Potash Company was caught in a takeover dilemma.
After all, capitalists are not philanthropists, and the North American side forcibly prevented the three major mining groups from acquiring Maple Leaf Potash Company, and the consequence was that this company would never have a bright future.
