Promotion of Soil Testing in Villages
China BlueChem actively implemented the fertilizer direct sale and soil testing projects launched by the Ministry of Agriculture, to assist farmers to reduce costs and increase output. Through direct supply of fertilizers, CNOOC laid a solid foundation for the program which recommended proper fertilizers to farmers according to the result of soil testing.
In order to solve the long-standing problems of excessive fertilization, in 2008 China BlueChem launched a large-scale soil testing promotion program which aimed to provide agro-chemistry services and training to farmers. The activity lasted 8 months and extended throughout Hainan Province. The company provided farmers with agriculture professionals, specialty funds, and technologies. Many farmersbenefi ted from the program.
