Global potash resources are distributed in Canada, Former Soviet Union and the Middle East, with 8 billion tons demonstrated reserves, which accounts for more than 90% of total global reserves. China's demonstrated potash reserves just take up 1% of it. Potash industry is a resource-based industry, thus its highly dense distribution results in a world's concentration potash industry. At present, the potash output of four regions listed above takes up 75% of total output. Comparing to international potash production giants, China is lack of potash resources; the potash demand is very huge, and China depends on import potash resources for a long time. China is the second largest potash importer, just after India, and also a potential market with the hugest demand. China imports 46% of potash resources from Russia, who is the largest potash importer to China. Besides, China imports 26% of potash resources from Canada.

At present, the existing domestic potash production center is mainly concentrated in Golmud, Qinghai province and Lop Nor area, Xinjiang province. In 2010, China's accumulative output reached 3,967,569 tons (pure potash), which grew by 12.7% over the previous year. According to calculate the potash production, there were 45,200 tons in North China, with a increase of 41.16% over the previous year; there were 324,600 tons in South China, with a growth of 25.93% over the previous year; there were 3,552,000 tons in north-west of China, with a increase of 13.45% over the previous year; there were 100 tons in East China, with a decrease of 99.78% over the previous year; there were 1,256 tons in south-west of China, with a increase of 6.69% over the previous year; there were 3,320 tons in North China, with a decrease of 20.74% over the previous year.

In recent years, "Three Rural Issues" is rising up to one of most important political problems. All efforts have been made in the Central No.1 Documents annually to ensure the stable of agricultural production and promote farmers to get rich since 2004. The Third Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee aimed at advancing the rural reform and its development, so as to realize the goal of all families in rural areas can be well-off. The session started with stating specific supporting, protecting and assisting policies to farmers. China is a large agricultural nation, as well as a fertilizer consumption nation. It's estimated that China's population would increase to 1.6 billion, whereas the agricultural land is decreasing. It's impossible to increase agricultural area to ensure food production. Instead, China should ensure food production via using fertilizer, so it provide great development opportunities for fertilizer industry.

With the development of people's living standard, higher and higher requirements rise up. People more and more tend to depend on potash resources. Moreover, with the advancement of economy and agricultural production technologies, less and less time are spent in producing crops, then there will be a increasingly demand for compound fertilizer, formula fertilizer, one-time fertilizer,which will further promote the expansion of potash.
