Abstract

This paper analyzes the reasons for the overuse of chemical fertilizers from the aspect of fertilizer circulation. This paper introduces the traditional bi-level fertilizer distribution model and the current status of fertilizer circulation, and conducts an empirical analysis of the behaviors of fertilizer distributors by using field research data of the fertilizer distributors. Analyses show that the phenomenon of credit sales in fertilizer circulation is serious, which has greatly increased the cost of circulation and made the price of fertilizers unrealistically high. The promotion of fertilizer products and the financial risks arising from credit buying of farmers have increased the operating costs of the distributors. To make profit, the distributors tend to elevate the recommended dosage of fertilizer, resulting in excessive use of fertilizer by farmers. In addition, fertilizer distributors usually have a low level of expertise and thus need agricultural technical trainings to recommend a more scientific fertilizer dosage. To this end, it is recommended to raise the threshold for market access of fertilizer distributors, optimize trainings of the fertilizer distributors, and ease the pressure caused by credit sales in fertilizer circulation.
