Farmers don’t buy distributors and don’t sell grassroots fertilizer market.

In the deep spring of this year, in the words of farmers, "spring necks are long", so there is nothing to worry about.
Coupled with several downturns in the spring, many farming activities have been greatly delayed.
Affected by the season, although the time has entered mid-March, the northern spring peanut area has reached the time of spring plowing and planting, but the farmers in the Wulian area of ​​Shandong Province where the author is located are not enthusiastic about buying chemical fertilizers, and the grassroots dealers only get a small amount of goods.
Some are still zero inventory.
Farmers do not buy and dealers do not sell.
This situation has caused the grassroots fertilizer market to fall into a quagmire.
The sowing of spring peanuts in Wulian area is generally around April 20th.
As a rule, after the Spring Festival, the farmers will buy chemical fertilizers and pick up the cultivated land.
Especially those who go out to work, have to clean up the cultivated land and purchase all the agricultural materials and products needed in the spring, but this year everyone is not in a hurry, showing indifference.
The Wulian fertilizer market inventory stocks are in an inverted pyramid structure, and the fertilizer reserves are gradually reduced.
Dealers above the town level have a certain amount of inventory, and many village-level dealers only take a small amount of goods, and some still have zero inventory, and the overall inventory is less than half.
From this point of view, after several years of tossing, dealers have become a lot more mature and their ability to respond to market changes has been greatly enhanced.
However, this has caused the upstream distributors: when the farmers were intensively using fertilizers, the goods requested by this village had not been delivered yet, and another village called to urge the goods.
From morning to night, time, energy, and physical strength were all needed.
Can't stand it.
From the perspective of market sales, farmers are now beginning to inquire about prices, but their enthusiasm for buying is not high.
They only buy sporadically.
Farmers in many villages have not taken any action at all.
The main reason is that farmers’ buying habits have changed.
Many farmers buy as they use them and use them directly in the fields.
Therefore, the current market sales are not smooth.
The overall weakness of the Wulian market is mainly due to the drastic reduction in the area of ​​cultivated land.
A Weifang-Rizhao expressway and the 222 provincial road reconstruction and widening project started at the same time, and a large amount of arable land along the two roads was requisitioned.
At the same time, the local government implemented afforestation projects along the road within 35 meters on both sides of the road.
The arable land was transferred at a price of 1,000 yuan per mu, and many farmers had no land to plant.
This has led to a sharp drop in the amount of local agricultural products such as fertilizers and pesticides.
Although the price of agricultural materials has risen, it is difficult to boost market confidence.
The retail price of chemical fertilizers is still hovering, and the enthusiasm of retailers is not high.
Coupled with the continued low prices of agricultural products, farmers' enthusiasm for farming has been seriously frustrated.
The average farmland share of farmers is too small, and agricultural subsidies are in vain.
In the Wulian area, each person can only report 0.
With 4 mu of arable land, the annual agricultural subsidy per person is only 50 yuan.
The temptation of this subsidy is really not high.
For all dealers, the biggest "enemy" in the current market is lack of confidence.
