China XLX Fertiliser Ltd. provided group earnings guidance for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The board of directors of the company expected that the net profit of the group for the six months ended 30 June 2018 may increase by at least 85% compared to that for the corresponding period of last year. The increase in the net profit of the group was mainly attributable to the continuous increase in the percentage of sales of high-efficiency fertilisers; the increase in the average selling prices of urea, melamine and furfuryl alcohol, being major products of the group, due to the accelerated close down of those small scale and highly pollutive manufacturers which have high production costs as a result of the continuous industry consolidation and environmental protection measures; the commencement of production of a dimethyl ether production line with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tonnes in September 2017, which has further expanded the product offering of the company and improved its ability to adjust product mix.
