Investment Analysis of Small and Medium-Sized NPK Compound Fertilizer Production Lines: Opportunities, Costs, and Risk Control

Against the backdrop of continuously growing global demands for food security and agricultural modernization, small and medium-sized NPK compound fertilizer production lines are becoming a popular choice for startups, agricultural cooperatives, and regional agricultural input dealers seeking transformation and upgrading, due to their moderate investment threshold, high flexibility, and rapid market response. Based on practical experience from over 170 customized projects, Huaqiang Heavy Industry has systematically analyzed the core elements of this type of investment, providing potential investors with comprehensive decision-making references from cost accounting and profit expectations to risk management. I. Investment Cost Analysis: Accurate Calculation of Initial Investment and Operating Expenses Investing in a small or medium-sized production line mainly involves two parts: equipment investment and operating expenses. Equipment investment (capacity 1-5 tons/hour) typically ranges from 800,000 to 2 million RMB, depending on the degree of automation and configuration. Core equipment generally includes: cage crusher, horizontal mixer, drum granulator, rotary dryer, cooler, drum screener, and automatic packaging scale. To control initial investment, Huaqiang Heavy Industry's modular design allows investors to purchase equipment in stages based on their financial situation. For example, they can first meet basic production functions and then upgrade to automated control systems later.
