The Core Distributors Summit of Shandong Agricultural University Fertilizer Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Nongda Group”) was held in Jinxiu Taiyuan on July 13. The summit focused on… “ New strategic insights, "Creating a New Future" With this as the theme, the aim is to explore and reach a consensus on upgrading strategies, products, and marketing.
Ding Fangjun, Deputy General Manager of Nongda Group, stated that over the years, the Group has adhered to a business philosophy rooted in integrity and continuous innovation, achieving remarkable results through close collaboration with its distributors. Nongda’s compound fertilizer has grown at an annual rate of 15%, while its specialty fertilizers have expanded even more rapidly, at 20% per year. These accomplishments are inseparable from the contributions of all of you here today.
At the meeting, General Manager Ding provided a detailed overview of the three key characteristics of Nongda Group.
Nongda Group is a truly exceptional enterprise. It holds the authority to formulate both national and industry standards, covering humic acid, controlled‑release fertilizers, soil conditioners, organic fertilizers, and more. As a leader in China’s humic acid fertilizer sector, Nongda Group has also established several national research platforms, including the Key Laboratory for Humic Acid Fertilizers and the National Agrochemical Service Center. The company has undertaken over 80 national and provincial‑level research projects and continues to develop new products, striving to promote soil health and the efficient use of fertilizers.
The products of Nongda Group are also quite special. Centered on root health, we are committed to delivering products that ensure stable and high yields. Our Siping Bajian wheat-specific fertilizer has demonstrated a yield increase of up to 27% in field trials, while products such as Heikong (humic acid‑based controlled‑release fertilizer) and Mendetou help enhance soil quality, boost both yield and grain quality, and are suitable for a wide range of soil types, including acidic, alkaline, and arid soils.
Nongda Group offers specialized services. First, we place the customer at the center of everything and establish a “triangular partnership” to deliver highly targeted services. Second, we leverage digital tools to manage large-scale farmers, harnessing agricultural big data for in-depth analysis and providing regular insights to help them make informed decisions about fertilization and pesticide application timing. Third, Nongda Group offers farmers free soil testing and comprehensive support; as the next generation of farmers continues to grow and mature, we will expand our training, educational programs, and workshops tailored to this cohort, fostering collective advancement and shared value creation.
A quality product cannot thrive without capable distributors to drive its promotion. Even in the fiercely competitive agricultural‑input market, many outstanding distributors have emerged, achieving impressive results through their strong capabilities and effective marketing strategies. Wang Mingwu, manager of the Jinnan Branch of Nongda Group, noted that today’s market is highly competitive, and standard products can no longer meet farmers’ needs; only products that offer clear functionality and distinct differentiation can truly satisfy them. He emphasized the importance of precisely targeting market segments, actively expanding secondary distribution channels, and identifying a positioning and growth path that aligns with one’s strengths—only then can sales volumes be significantly boosted.
At the conference, 21 distributors were honored with the titles “Fertilizer Growth Star,” “Specialty Fertilizer Growth Star,” and “Rising Star.” Among them, Hao Xinzhen of Henan Niansheng Agricultural Inputs Sales Co., Ltd. (Fertilizer Growth Star), Ma Xiangzhou of Anhui Xiangzhou Seed Industry Co., Ltd. (Specialty Fertilizer Growth Star), and Zhang Yongtao of Shandong Xin County Genjian Agricultural Inputs Sales Outlet (Rising Star), along with five other distributor representatives, shared firsthand insights into the real-world performance of Nongda fertilizers among farmers, as well as their successful strategies and techniques for expanding market reach. By presenting data and case studies, they demonstrated the positive impact of Nongda fertilizers on crop yield and quality, while also offering valuable guidance to other distributors on market development.
Meng Xiangyu, Director of the East China Region at Nongda Group, stated that the traditional wholesale‑retail model and the era of simplistic promotions are now a thing of the past. The true foundation of effective marketing lies in creating value for farmers through service, with branding at the heart of future competition. Over its more than 20 years of operation, Nongda Group has been dedicated to addressing agricultural challenges, boosting crop yields and quality, and improving soil health. Mr. Meng believes that Nongda’s strategic direction aligns with the overarching national agenda for agricultural development, offering promising prospects. He outlined the group’s autumn marketing strategy across four key dimensions: the competitive business environment, strategic positioning, brand differentiation, and win‑win collaboration. In today’s context of overcapacity and intense competition, Nongda must undertake thorough, sustained efforts in product innovation, technical services, technological advancement, and brand‑equity enhancement. Products constitute the core of a company’s competitiveness; technology ensures sustainable growth; and strengthening brand power represents the enterprise’s hard‑won competitive edge.
General Manager Meng noted that Nongda Group’s strategic vision has evolved from “fertilizer for university graduates” to “global leader in humic acid fertilizers,” and has launched the campaign slogan, “Nongda Humic Acid: Serving Hundreds of Millions of Mu of High‑Quality Farmland.” He advised core customers to pursue a dual‑channel strategy—comprising secondary distributors and large-scale farmers—to maintain resilience amid market fluctuations and achieve revenue growth through integrated dual‑channel operations.
This meeting has been launched. “The Amazing Agricultural Products Champion Challenge” Upgrade Campaign. This comprehensive upgrade and revamp is designed to provide a broader platform for more farmers, enabling them to join forces in contributing to the development of China’s agriculture.
