Risso Urea's Export Solution: 38-0-0 & 40-0-5 Coated Urea

In the face of strict Chinese government restrictions on urea exports, Risso Fertilizer Factory has developed a strategic solution to continue serving global markets. By enhancing urea with ammonium chloride and potassium sulfate, Risso has crafted specialized formulations—38-0-0 and 40-0-5 coated urea—that meet compliance standards while delivering high-quality nitrogen and potassium fertilizers to international buyers. This approach not only aligns with export regulations but also provides essential agricultural nutrients to meet rising global demand.

Why China Restricts Urea Exports

China, one of the world’s largest producers of urea, imposed restrictions on its export to stabilize domestic supply, protect food security, and reduce environmental impacts. Urea production is highly energy-intensive and has significant environmental costs, especially in regions with carbon reduction commitments. The restrictions help manage local urea availability, reduce the risk of fertilizer-driven inflation, and support agricultural priorities. However, these limitations have affected the global fertilizer market, creating supply shortages and higher costs for countries reliant on urea imports.

Risso Fertilizer’s Innovative Export Strategy

To navigate these restrictions, Risso Fertilizer Factory has tailored its urea products to meet export compliance by adding ammonium chloride and potassium sulfate. These additions transform the base urea, allowing it to fit into alternative fertilizer categories that meet government guidelines.

38-0-0 Urea with Ammonium Chloride
The 38-0-0 formulation combines high nitrogen urea with ammonium chloride, offering an effective nitrogen source for a wide range of crops. Ammonium chloride enhances the urea’s effectiveness and creates a product eligible for export. This formula is very suitable for crops with high nitrogen demand. The color and particle size of 38-0-0 urea can be customized according to actual needs.
40-0-5 Coated Urea with Potassium Sulfate
For applications that benefit from both nitrogen and potassium, Risso’s 40-0-5 coated urea includes potassium sulfate. The added potassium improves plant resilience and promotes balanced growth, especially in crops needing robust root development and stress tolerance. The coating enables a controlled nutrient release, ensuring efficient uptake by crops and reducing leaching and volatilization losses.

Advantages of Coated Urea in Agriculture

Coated urea formulations like 38-0-0 and 40-0-5 provide multiple advantages in agricultural practices. The coating technology extends nutrient availability, allowing plants to absorb nitrogen and potassium over an extended period, improving crop yield and reducing fertilizer waste. Controlled-release fertilizers also lessen environmental impact by minimizing nutrient loss to the air or groundwater, helping to meet global sustainability goals.

Enhanced Nutrient Efficiency
Coated urea allows for a gradual release of nutrients, ensuring crops receive a consistent nitrogen supply without excessive application. This reduces the need for frequent reapplication, optimizing both costs and labor. The inclusion of potassium sulfate in the 40-0-5 variant adds additional resilience to crops, particularly during stress periods.
Reduced Environmental Impact
By controlling the nutrient release, these coated urea products reduce nitrogen loss through volatilization and leaching. This is particularly beneficial for maintaining soil quality, minimizing groundwater contamination, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
High-Quality Fertilizer for Global Markets
With these formulations, Risso can continue supplying international markets in need of high-quality nitrogen and potassium fertilizers. The demand for reliable fertilizers has grown as agriculture intensifies to meet global food security goals, and products like Risso’s coated urea meet the standards that modern farming practices require.

Meeting Global Demand with Innovative Solutions

The global fertilizer market is experiencing pressure from rising costs and supply shortages, and innovative solutions like Risso Fertilizer Factory’s coated urea address this need effectively. By modifying the urea composition to comply with export regulations, Risso provides a dependable solution that supports farmers worldwide, especially those in regions heavily dependent on imported fertilizers.

Conclusion

Risso Fertilizer Factory’s approach to adding ammonium chloride and potassium sulfate to its urea products offers a strategic way to overcome export limitations, ensuring consistent supply to international markets. Their 38-0-0 and 40-0-5 coated urea formulations are designed to meet the needs of modern agriculture, offering efficient, controlled nutrient release to promote sustainable and high-yield crop production. Through these innovative products, Risso continues to support the global agricultural sector with quality fertilizers that align with regulatory compliance and environmental responsibility.
