It is said that it is profitable to sell chemical fertilizers in the countryside. How much can a bag of fertilizer earn?

In rural areas, selling chemical fertilizers is not very profitable, but it is also a very profitable project. Because of the large demand, ordinary rural people dare not do business easily, especially this kind of fertilizer business, the investment cost is relatively high, and farmers are unwilling to do it. Although it is very profitable, it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof. Therefore, there are always so many fertilizer plants in Hua Kai that they will make more and more money. Farmers don't have much money a year, and farm work is particularly heavy. They worked hard for a year before they earned thousands of dollars. Once you lose money, it takes you half your life, so few people try. You can do a little business at most and take care of your life. So how much do you earn by selling fertilizer? In two seasons a year, each household needs about 30 bags of chemical fertilizer, and one bag of chemical fertilizer basically earns 30-40 yuan, which means that the profit of a single household is 900- 1200 yuan, but there are basically hundreds of thousands of households in each village, and the profit can be imagined.

Basically, a bag of fertilizer can earn about 10 yuan, and the better one can earn 20-30 yuan. In addition, if you meet a large family, you will encounter the problem of selling on credit, with a lot of debts and great financial pressure. Sometimes it's better to go out to work. Fertilizer generally goes through intermediate distributors and retailers from manufacturers to farmers. Dealers get ex-factory prices from manufacturers and then sell them to retailers at higher prices. Retailers then sell them to farmers at higher prices. This is a common sales channel. At present, there are still some large households who will contact manufacturers directly through intermediate distributors and retailers. But most small farmers still have to go to local retail stores to buy. The profits of different fertilizers vary greatly. Ordinary urea and diamine are basically unprofitable. It's good to have 5- 10 yuan in the bag. Sometimes you don't make money at all. Even some fertilizer shops only buy urea and don't sell it, so they need to buy it together with other fertilizers.

But the sales volume is not as good as that of ordinary chemical fertilizer. Fertilizer can be divided into big brands and small brands, and also into well-known brands and unknown brands. Some dealers say that big brands or well-known brands sell more expensive and have better profits (about 30%). Small brands will choose to sell at low prices or do some activities because they need to explore the market, and their profits will be reduced accordingly (10%-20%). The same fertilizer may be sold at different prices in different regions, which involves monopoly. If a county sells only one kind of fertilizer, the price will be slightly higher and the profit will increase accordingly (30% or even higher). On the other hand, if a region sells fertilizer, there are many dealers and there is competition, the sales price will not be very high and the profit will be reduced.

Because the wholesale price of chemical fertilizers by general agents and wholesalers has exceeded people's acceptance, and because farming does not make money, it is really uneconomical to spend so much money on chemical fertilizers, seeds and pesticides, which is also the reason why most rural people go out to work. It doesn't matter if you don't make money selling fertilizer. People without arable land may not know the degree of vicious competition. Every year in February of the lunar calendar, agricultural suppliers in our towns and villages begin to send agricultural vehicles, including pesticides, to farmers' homes. Farmers use chemical fertilizers and pesticides for one year and send them to farmers' homes at one time, and put them into farmers' homes according to farmers' opinions. They were so tired that they didn't charge a penny. Farmers can collect money from every farmer who buys pesticides and fertilizers from you by bike or motorcycle when they harvest rice and sell grain in autumn. Some people are not at home, or go out to work, but they still can't receive money.
