It has also deepened cooperation with major central state-owned enterprises such as Sinopec and PetroChina, signing long-term raw material procurement agreements to lock in preferential procurement terms and supply quotas. In the first eight months of this year, the company"s total domestic fertilizer output reached 2.95 million tonnes.

　　Beyond corporate efforts, China"s systematic reserve and distribution network forms the backbone of fertilizer supply security. The country has a commercial fertilizer reserve system, with a full-spectrum reserve framework covering nitrogen, phosphorus, compound, potash and disaster-relief fertilizers across major agricultural provinces, said Ye Xingqing, a researcher with the Development Research Center of the State Council.

　　A nationwide agricultural supply network further ensures efficient distribution, with over 4,800 agricultural input enterprises and 280,000 grassroots service outlets across rural areas. During this year"s spring plowing season, China released more than 10 million tonnes of state commercial fertilizer reserves, strongly supporting stable grain production.

　　Thanks to coordinated policy regulation, expanded industrial output and industry self-discipline, domestic fertilizer prices have stayed largely stable this year, in stark contrast to sharp global price hikes driven by geopolitical conflicts, said Wang Xiaoxue, an official with the China Agricultural Means of Production Association.
