Hubei Resumes Production: the Cities Accelerates "Recovery"
5.57 million people return to work
    

February 2020: An "Indefinite" Month

As early as February 9, at the press conference of the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council, Chen Da, deputy director of the Economic Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that at present, in addition to Hubei Province, 30 other provinces across the country have deployed arrangements to resume work and reproduction. The successive start of construction in 30 provinces eased the tight supply and demand situation of various goods at that time, and the orderly resumption of production could ensure market supply. However, Hubei is also one of the strong provinces in the chemical industry. The resumption of work "indefinitely" may affect the supply of chemical raw materials.

For enterprises resumed production
Up to now, Xiangyang Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has opened a total of 395 food and medicine, anti-epidemic materials, special equipment, medical equipment and other production and operation enterprises in the city to open green channels and quickly handle the relevant procedures for production and operation licenses.
In Hubei's chemical industry map, phosphorus chemical industry occupies an important position. Hubei phosphate compound fertilizer production capacity and output are the first in the country. At the time of spring cultivation, the country's largest phosphate compound fertilizer production company, a company located in Jingmen, is producing at full capacity, with a daily output of more than 24,000 tons. The current busy production is in sharp contrast to more than a month ago.Due to logistics and manpower issues, at the end of February, only six fertilizer companies in Hubei Province were producing, which was far from meeting the needs of the national spring farming market. Hubei immediately organized 35 key enterprises across the province to resume production. In addition, preferential policies are applied to fertilizer companies in Hubei Province.At present, more than 100 key chemical companies in Hubei have resumed production, and production capacity has recovered to about 85%. It can basically meet the market demand of Hubei and even the whole country.
