Reverse the concept of earning foreign exchange through export and gradually cancel the export tax rebate for mineral products. At the end of 20 12, China's foreign exchange reserves exceeded 20 trillion yuan, which fundamentally reversed the serious shortage of foreign exchange reserves and exceeded the normal level, which increased inflationary pressure and slowed down the efficiency of expanding domestic demand. Therefore, we must change the concept of "earning foreign exchange through export" ideologically, and promote the foreign trade of mineral products to serve the improvement of people's living standards.

The change of ideas must be coordinated with the action to achieve the goal. Therefore, we should gradually cancel the export tax rebate for mineral products, reduce the business model of enterprises taking export tax rebate as their main profit, and create a fairer and more reasonable market environment for enterprises. In particular, the export tax rebate policy for domestic mineral products with high energy consumption should be abolished immediately, and export tariffs should be levied, which can not only reduce the energy consumption of producing and exporting some mineral products, but also reduce the external dependence of China's mineral products, thus stabilizing the international market price and reducing the import cost.

Establish the concept of "full import demand" and reduce the value-added tax in the import of mineral products. The import of mineral products is the purpose and the leading factor, and priority should be given. As a means of import, the formulation or adjustment of export policies should serve the import. Gradually reduce or even cancel the import tariff on mineral products, liberalize the import license of mineral products, and concretize the concept of "total import demand", which can reduce the operating costs of imported enterprises, make better use of the international market, balance the price of mineral products, adjust domestic production capacity, promote the adjustment of industrial structure, and force enterprises to increase investment in science and technology and improve the scientific and technological content of products. Low or zero import tariff will reduce the operational risk brought by the rapid rise of domestic raw ore prices, and the primary mineral products in the international market have also become an important choice for enterprises. Diversification of procurement channels for production raw materials can improve the market environment for domestic enterprises to compete with international enterprises and help enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

As far as phosphate rock is concerned, the most important use of phosphate rock is to produce phosphate fertilizer, which is necessary for crops. China is a country with a large population, and the demand for food is great and increasing, so the high demand for phosphate rock in China will continue, and so will phosphate rock. Meanwhile, phosphate rock is a non-renewable mineral. Even though China is rich in phosphate rock resources at present, the total amount continues to decline, and there will be a shortage in a few years. Therefore, from the long-term development point of view, we should consider the development and utilization of phosphate rock from the perspective of global strategy, make rational use of international market resources, slow down the depletion of domestic resources, and urge domestic phosphate rock-related enterprises to increase investment in science and technology.
