Why has chemical fertilizer off-season storage decreased for the first time?
Since China established the commercial off-season storage system for chemical fertilizer in 2004, the volume of off-season chemical fertilizer storage had only increased and never decreased, rising from 800 million tons at the beginning to 1800 million tons in 2013, with an average annual growth of 125%. However, this year the volume of off-season chemical fertilizer storage fell for the first time. In this round, storage enterprises with an off-season chemical fertilizer storage volume of 50000 tons or less made no change, those with 100000 to 200000 tons reduced their contracted storage volume by 20%, and those with more than 200000 tons reduced their contracted storage volume by 25%.

China's rural land system has become largely settled
Recently I returned to my hometown. My aging parents said the family's contracted land has already been given to a distant grandson to cultivate, at 500 yuan per mu per year. This amounts to collecting rent. As for the family's land, besides my parents' share, the share belonging to my married-out younger sister has also been kept, and back when I was studying, during the second round of land contracting, according to regulations I too enjoyed contracting rights, but later after I started working there happened to be a policy shift of "no increase for births, no decrease for deaths," so the contracted land was not adjusted, and thus our family's land is relatively more, several mu. There are already quite a few households like ours that cannot cultivate all their farmland and transfer it to relatives or neighbors to plant; since they are all acquaintances, no contract is signed, and the amount paid is not fixed, just roughly agreed. But market rates do exist, and currently the minimum is 600 yuan per mu (per year).

What trends and new characteristics does land transfer show under the new situation?
First, we need to understand what land transfer is. Land transfer refers to the transfer of land use rights.

China Fertilizer Industry Outlook: Corporate Divergence Intensifies

Temporary storage corn mold rate standard expected to be relaxed soon
Affected by weather factors, mold has commonly occurred in corn in Northeast China, causing many corn loads to be turned away when sold and delivered to warehouses, and farmers in some areas have difficulty selling grain. According to reporters, this year farmers' corn mold rate is far higher than the procurement and warehousing standard of Sinograin, which has led to turned-away trucks and difficulty selling grain. Relevant state departments may issue documents in the coming days to relax the warehousing standard for moldy corn.

The livestock financing challenge requires joint efforts from multiple parties to solve
As the saying goes: Wealth of ten thousand strings, but livestock with fur does not count. Because of the disease and death risks of poultry, the mortgage risk of live livestock is greater than that of ordinary property mortgages, and therefore its collateral value is not high. But precisely because live poultry farming needs to expand its scale, and bringing in a source of fresh capital is no easy task, in the practice of leapfrog development in livestock breeding, shortages of funds and difficulties in financing often become bottlenecks restricting development, and solving this problem still requires joint efforts from multiple parties.
