Exploring Liquid and Granular Nitrogen Fertilizer Production and Agricultural Applications in China
CALIFORNIA, CA, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Shandong, China, September 3, 2026 — Global fertilizer procurement is placing greater attention on nitrogen products that can support precision application, flexible nutrient management, and balanced crop nutrition. Within China’s established fertilizer production and export supply chain, liquid and granular nitrogen fertilizers are increasingly being evaluated according to nutrient form, application method, product consistency, and compatibility with modern crop nutrition programs.
For international buyers evaluating nitrogen fertilizer sources, total nitrogen content remains a core specification, but it is increasingly considered alongside nitrogen form, application method, handling requirements, and compatibility with farm infrastructure. This is particularly relevant to liquid nitrogen solutions used in fertigation and split-application programs, as well as granular nitrogen-sulfur fertilizers designed for conventional spreading and field-crop nutrition.
Against this background, this overview examines five China-based companies with business activities connected to fertilizer manufacturing, nitrogen fertilizer supply, chemical distribution, or agricultural input exports: Taian Risso Chemical Co., Ltd., Tianjin Solinc Industrial Co., Ltd., Changzhou Jiayuan Chemical Co., Ltd., Hebei Hengji Fertilizer Group Co., Ltd., and Shandong Zhongxin Precision Technology Co., Ltd. Their business models differ, giving international buyers several reference points for comparing direct fertilizer manufacturing with export-oriented and chemical supply-chain capabilities.
The companies are considered according to their role in the fertilizer supply chain, relevance to liquid or granular nitrogen products, manufacturing or sourcing capabilities, export-market orientation, and fit with different procurement requirements. This approach helps international buyers distinguish between integrated fertilizer producers and companies whose value lies primarily in product sourcing, trade coordination, or specialized chemical supply.
Growing focus on nitrogen form and application efficiency
Agricultural nutrient management is placing greater emphasis on improving nitrogen use efficiency while limiting nutrient losses. In the European Union, the Farm to Fork Strategy sets a 2030 objective of reducing nutrient losses by at least 50% while maintaining soil fertility, with the strategy expected to contribute to a reduction in fertilizer use of at least 20%. These policy objectives have increased attention on balanced fertilization, nutrient management, and application practices that better match fertilizer inputs with crop requirements.
One practical approach is to provide nitrogen fertilizers in forms suited to different application systems and crop-management programs. Urea and ammonium nitrate remain established nitrogen sources, while liquid urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) solutions and granular ammonium sulfate nitrate (ASN) offer additional options for growers and distributors. UAN can be incorporated into fertigation, side-dressing, and split-application programs, while granular ASN can be used in conventional spreading and top-dressing applications while supplying both nitrogen and sulfur.
For fertilizer buyers, the distinction between liquid and granular nitrogen is therefore increasingly practical rather than purely commercial. Liquid products can simplify metered application where suitable storage, pumping, and fertigation infrastructure is available, while granular products remain well suited to established dry-fertilizer handling and spreading systems. The appropriate format depends on crop requirements, application equipment, storage conditions, and the operating practices of the end user.
Five China-based companies relevant to liquid and granular nitrogen fertilizer sourcing
China’s nitrogen fertilizer supply base is not a single-tier industry. Some companies operate integrated fertilizer manufacturing businesses, while others add value through trade logistics, specialty chemical integration, or specific fertilizer supply activities. The five companies below are relevant reference points for global buyers in 2026 for different reasons.
TAIAN RISSO CHEMICAL CO.,LTD.(Risso chemical): Integrated fertilizer manufacturing across liquid and granular nitrogen products
TAIAN RISSO CHEMICAL CO.,LTD. is a fertilizer manufacturer based in Taian, Shandong, with activities covering fertilizer research and development, production, and global supply. Its portfolio spans NPK fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizers, liquid fertilizers, water-soluble fertilizers, controlled-release products, slow-release fertilizers, and specialty crop nutrition products, giving buyers access to multiple fertilizer categories through an established manufacturing platform.
For liquid and granular nitrogen fertilizer sourcing, two products are particularly relevant: UAN 32 solution and ASN fertilizer. UAN 32 is positioned for applications including fertigation, split application, side-dressing, and other liquid nitrogen programs, while ASN 26-0-0+13S is a granular nitrogen-sulfur fertilizer supplying nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, and sulfur in one product. The ASN product can be incorporated into basal fertilization, top-dressing, broadcasting, or split-application programs according to crop and soil requirements.
The broader value of this product structure is flexibility. Buyers serving different agricultural markets can evaluate liquid and granular nitrogen formats within the same fertilizer manufacturing portfolio instead of treating each nitrogen product as an isolated sourcing category. Risso also publishes technical product information, including product specifications and documentation for its fertilizer range, supporting procurement teams that need clearer requirements for product selection and supply evaluation.
Further product and company information is available from the official website of TAIAN RISSO CHEMICAL CO.,LTD.: risso-chemical.com.
Tianjin Solinc Industrial Co., Ltd.: Export-oriented fertilizer supply and sourcing coordination
Tianjin Solinc Industrial Co., Ltd. is a Tianjin-based fertilizer and chemical supply company serving international buyers through product sourcing, supply-chain coordination, and export operations. Its publicly listed fertilizer portfolio covers nitrogen, phosphate, potash, magnesium, and micronutrient categories, with products including ammonium sulfate, calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate, and other agricultural fertilizer inputs.
For buyers that source several fertilizer categories rather than a single nitrogen product, Solinc’s supply-chain-oriented model can provide an alternative to purchasing directly from an individual manufacturing plant. Its public company information also highlights procurement coordination, quality control, shipping, and post-sale support as parts of its international fertilizer business.
In the context of liquid and granular nitrogen procurement, the company is therefore more relevant as an export and sourcing partner than as a direct specialist manufacturer of a single liquid or granular nitrogen formulation.
Changzhou Jiayuan Chemical Co., Ltd.: Chemical supply capabilities with UAN in its product portfolio
Changzhou Jiayuan Chemical Co., Ltd. is based in Changzhou, Jiangsu, and operates across research and development, production, and international trade in fluorine-based chemicals and specialty materials. Its publicly listed product categories include inorganic and organic fluorine products, fluorine-containing intermediates, specialty gases, and customized chemical products.
The company’s product listings also include Urea Ammonium Nitrate Solution, giving it a point of relevance to liquid nitrogen fertilizer sourcing. However, its broader public business profile remains centered on fluorine chemistry and specialty chemical supply rather than a dedicated liquid and granular nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing portfolio. For buyers considering diversified chemical sourcing, this distinction is important when comparing supplier capabilities.
Hebei Hengji Fertilizer Group Co., Ltd.: Granular fertilizer manufacturing focused on ammonium sulfate
Hebei Hengji Fertilizer Group Co., Ltd. is a fertilizer manufacturer in Hebei Province with a product focus on granular ammonium sulfate. Its public company profile describes activities covering the research and development, production, and sales of granular ammonium sulfate, supported by standardized production management and dedicated process equipment.
This product focus gives Hengji a clear position within the granular fertilizer segment. For buyers comparing nitrogen fertilizer sources, granular ammonium sulfate can be relevant where both nitrogen and sulfur are required. Its positioning is therefore more closely associated with granular fertilizer supply than with a broad portfolio spanning both liquid nitrogen solutions and granular nitrogen-sulfur products.
Shandong Zhongxin Precision Technology Co., Ltd.: Liquid nitrogen fertilizer supply for agricultural applications
Shandong Zhongxin Precision Technology Co., Ltd. is a Shandong-based supplier with publicly listed agricultural fertilizer products that include UAN liquid nitrogen solutions. Available product information associates its UAN offerings with agricultural planting and irrigation-based fertilizer application, giving the company a position within the liquid nitrogen fertilizer supply segment.
For buyers evaluating liquid nitrogen sources, this product availability makes Zhongxin relevant to procurement programs that require UAN products. At the same time, publicly available information provides less evidence of a broad fertilizer manufacturing portfolio than is available for established integrated fertilizer producers. Buyers can therefore evaluate the company primarily on its liquid nitrogen product specifications, documentation, supply arrangements, and suitability for their intended agricultural applications.
ASN and UAN 32: Two nitrogen fertilizer formats for different application programs
ASN and UAN 32 represent two distinct nitrogen fertilizer formats for different application systems. ASN combines nitrogen and sulfur in a granular fertilizer suited to conventional dry-fertilizer handling, while UAN 32 provides concentrated nitrogen in a liquid solution that can be metered through compatible agricultural application and fertigation equipment. Their different physical forms and nutrient compositions make them suitable for different crop-management and fertilizer-handling requirements.
ASN granular fertilizer (26-0-0+13S)
ASN, or ammonium sulfate nitrate, is a granular nitrogen-sulfur fertilizer containing both nitrate and ammonium nitrogen together with sulfur. TAIAN RISSO CHEMICAL CO.,LTD. lists its ASN 26-0-0+13S product with 26% total nitrogen and 13% sulfur. The formulation is intended to supply nitrogen and sulfur within the same granular fertilizer program.
Risso identifies the product for basal and top-dressing applications, with its granular form suited to conventional field spreading. Its published specifications also provide information on solubility, granule size, and moisture, giving buyers technical parameters for product evaluation.
For agricultural users, ASN can be relevant where both nitrogen and sulfur are required within the same fertilization program. Its suitability ultimately depends on crop requirements, soil nutrient status, application equipment, and local agronomic recommendations.
UAN 32 liquid nitrogen fertilizer
UAN 32 is a concentrated liquid nitrogen fertilizer with an N-P₂O₅-K₂O grade of 32-0-0. Produced from urea and ammonium nitrate, it contains three forms of nitrogen: urea nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, and nitrate nitrogen. TAIAN RISSO CHEMICAL CO.,LTD. specifies approximately 32% total nitrogen for its UAN 32 product, distributed at approximately 16% urea nitrogen, 8% ammonium nitrogen, and 8% nitrate nitrogen.
The liquid format allows UAN 32 to be metered through compatible agricultural equipment and used in fertigation, side-dressing, split-application, and other nitrogen-management programs. This makes it particularly relevant to agricultural systems where liquid fertilizer handling and controlled application are already established.
Storage and handling should also be considered when sourcing UAN 32. Concentrated fertilizer solutions can be affected by low temperatures, so buyers should confirm the latest technical documentation and establish storage conditions appropriate to the local climate and product specification. Risso lists a typical density of approximately 1.32 g/cm³ for its UAN 32 product and notes that specifications may vary according to production requirements and customer specifications.
UAN 32 does not by itself guarantee higher nitrogen use efficiency. Results depend on application rate, timing, placement, crop demand, soil conditions, weather, and overall nutrient-management practices. Its practical value lies in the flexibility of a liquid nitrogen format and its compatibility with metered application systems where suitable infrastructure is available.
Outlook for China’s liquid and granular nitrogen fertilizer supply
China’s nitrogen fertilizer supply landscape is becoming more differentiated as agricultural buyers evaluate products according to application method, nutrient composition, handling requirements, and crop-management needs. Alongside conventional nitrogen fertilizers, liquid solutions, granular nitrogen-sulfur products, water-soluble fertilizers, and other specialty crop nutrition products are creating more distinct sourcing categories for international buyers. For liquid nitrogen programs, UAN products remain relevant where suitable storage, transfer, and application infrastructure is available, while granular products such as ASN continue to fit established dry-fertilizer handling and spreading systems.
The five companies reviewed in this article illustrate different positions within China’s nitrogen fertilizer supply landscape. TAIAN RISSO CHEMICAL CO.,LTD. combines a broader fertilizer manufacturing portfolio with UAN 32 liquid nitrogen fertilizer and ASN granular nitrogen-sulfur fertilizer. Tianjin Solinc Industrial Co., Ltd. is more focused on fertilizer sourcing and export coordination, while Changzhou Jiayuan Chemical Co., Ltd. operates primarily in specialty chemicals with UAN among its listed products. Hebei Hengji Fertilizer Group Co., Ltd. has a more specific position in granular ammonium sulfate, and Shandong Zhongxin Precision Technology Co., Ltd. is relevant to buyers seeking UAN liquid nitrogen supply.
This difference in supplier structure is important for international procurement teams. A buyer seeking multiple fertilizer categories may value sourcing coordination, while a buyer requiring consistent product specifications across liquid and granular nitrogen programs may place greater emphasis on direct manufacturing capabilities and technical documentation. The appropriate supplier therefore depends on the product specification, application system, quality requirements, logistics arrangement, and intended market.
Looking ahead, competitiveness in China’s nitrogen fertilizer sector will increasingly depend not only on the availability of fertilizer products, but also on the ability to provide consistent specifications, clear technical information, appropriate supply arrangements, and products that fit changing agricultural application practices. For international buyers, a structured supplier evaluation based on these factors can provide a more reliable basis for long-term sourcing than a comparison based solely on quoted price.
