Abstract: This article traces the historical development of the fertilizer industry in major European countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, and France, and examines its multifaceted influence on the formation of China's fertilizer industry. Specifically, it explores four key dimensions of this influence: the establishment of technical foundations, the construction of an industrial system, the shaping of international cooperation models, and the introduction of sustainable development concepts. The study finds that Europe-particularly Germany through the invention of the Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis process-provided the crucial technological groundwork for China's fertilizer industry. Moreover, the evolution of Europe's fertilizer sector not only supplied the technical impetus for China's industrial modernization but also offered valuable experience and strategic guidance for building an independent, innovative, and sustainable fertilizer industry system.
