The substantial improvement of the company's performance mainly benefited from the prosperity of its main business.

According to Zhuo Chuang, the average prices of the company's main products compound fertilizer 2021 and 2022q1 are 2845 yuan / ton and 3365 yuan / ton respectively, up 21% and 42% year-on-year respectively.
Significant advantages in capacity layout and effective improvement in operation efficiency. The company's production base covers most of the planting areas in China, which can quickly respond to the fertilizer demand of each planting area and reduce the transportation cost. In terms of period expenses, the total period expense rate of the company in 2021 was 11.61%, with a year-on-year increase of 0.27pct. Among them, the sales expense rate was 5.37%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.25pct, the management expense (including R & D expenses, comparable caliber) rate was 7.04%, a year-on-year increase of 0.6pct, and the financial expense rate was - 0.8%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.08pct.

The superposition of cost support and insufficient construction, and the price of compound fertilizer is booming. On the cost side, the rising prices of raw materials such as sulfur and synthetic ammonia, as well as the strong international demand, drove the price of monoammonium phosphate upward; Before the implementation of the export legal inspection policy, the shortage of supply superimposed on India's release of a new round of urea bidding, and the urea market continued to be favorable; The price of potash fertilizer also increased due to short supply and blocked import. Internationally, after the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the first quarter, Russia restricted the export of chemical fertilizer, which exacerbated the tight supply of international chemical fertilizer. The soaring price of international chemical fertilizer led to the rise of the price of chemical fertilizer in China. In terms of operation, the unit operation rate of compound fertilizer enterprises in 2021 is lower than that in 2019 and 2020. According to Baichuan, the average operation rate of compound fertilizer in 2021 is 40%, 7% lower than that in the same period last year. On the one hand, the low operating rate is due to the tight supply and high price of raw materials, the low production enthusiasm of manufacturers, and the shortage of raw materials, which makes the enterprises reduce the load or stop. On the other hand, environmental protection, safety factors, dual control of energy consumption, power restriction and other measures have hindered the commencement of some units. The highest operating rate was in April, with an operating rate of 48.65%. Under the dual effects of cost and operation, the price of compound fertilizer continues to rise. According to Zhuo Chuang information, the average prices of the company's main products compound fertilizer 2021 and 2022q1 were 2845 yuan / ton and 3365 yuan / ton respectively, up 21% and 42% year-on-year respectively.
