Under the strong coordination of the research team, the two potash fertilizer companies clearly stated that they would overcome difficulties and continue to increase fertilizer production. Among them, Salt Lake Group postponed the maintenance time and tried every means to increase production based on ensuring the completion of the tasks assigned by the state. Zangge Potash Fertilizer will soon Complete routine maintenance and resume production about 20 days ahead of schedule to ensure the supply of fertilizers for spring plowing.
