Zangge Mining Recognized as an “Outstanding Enterprise for Ensuring Stable Supply and Prices of Potash Fertilizer in 2024”

Multiple Measures Strengthen the “Ballast Stone” of Food Security

On July 16, at the 2025 Potash and Potassium Salt Conference & Golmud Salt Lake Forum Award Ceremony, Geermu Zangge Potash Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zangge Mining, was awarded the “Outstanding Contribution Award for Ensuring Stable Supply and Prices of Potash Fertilizer in 2024.” The award fully affirms the company’s efforts in ensuring stable domestic supply and maintaining market price stability, highlighting its responsibility as a major producer of potash fertilizer in China.

On July 18, in response to the sharp surge in potassium chloride market prices, Zangge Mining promptly responded to the call from the National Development and Reform Commission and other ministries to “stabilize prices and ensure supply.” The company convened an emergency sales meeting and launched a contingency plan, setting three key action goals: ensure production, improve efficiency, and stabilize supply. Under unified deployment, while upholding safety standards and strict product quality, the company increased production, accelerated delivery, and fully released potash resources to compound fertilizer producers, taking concrete actions to safeguard the stability of the industrial and supply chains.

That same morning, upon receiving instructions from the Dispatching Command Center, Zangge Mining’s dedicated railway line for potash fertilizers began operating at full capacity. The first batch of “Blue Sky”-branded potassium chloride, earmarked for the stable supply program, was loaded and dispatched. The dedicated train was scheduled to depart that evening for Shandong, Henan, and Hubei—major compound fertilizer production hubs—and expected to arrive at downstream plants within 72 hours, providing a solid guarantee for supply stabilization.

“To ensure the policy of stabilizing prices and supply is fully implemented, we have established a ‘direct supply to manufacturers’ green channel,” said a Zangge Mining sales executive. “By optimizing our customer management system, suspending non-productive intermediary trade, and strictly reviewing the qualifications of receiving enterprises, we guarantee that every ton of potash goes directly to compound fertilizer production lines. This eliminates speculative trading and inflated pricing at the source, turning policy requirements into tangible business outcomes.”

Ensuring stable supply and prices is not only a policy requirement but also a corporate responsibility. As a backbone enterprise in China’s potash industry, Zangge Mining leverages the unique resource endowment of Qarhan Salt Lake in Qinghai and its advanced production system to strengthen its integrated resource-capacity-logistics operation model. Moving forward, the company will focus on three core goals: stabilizing prices, ensuring supply, and improving service. Through dynamic inventory management, optimized customer structure, and enhanced service quality, Zangge Mining will work with downstream compound fertilizer producers to build a collaborative development mechanism. Together, they aim to strengthen the safeguard of national food security and ensure sufficient fertilizer supply for agriculture—helping to keep China’s “rice bowl” firmly in its own hands.
