Throughout 2022, the central government of China issued six pesticide-related environmental protection policies. It can be seen that the current trend in the development of pesticide industry is to cut down use, toxicity and residue of pesticides. The year also witnessed 197 new herbicide products get approved of registration here in China.
Into 2023, the first month saw ex-works prices of the majority of herbicides TC go down, the prices of atrazine TC, bensulfuron-methyl TC, pretilachlor TC and florasulam TC keep stable, and the price of 2,4-D TC tick up. Supply of these herbicides has been quite sufficient with stable operation in producers.
As regards company dynamics, Anhui Kelihua has successfully finished the technological transformation and capacity expansion of its oxadiazon TC production line, Liaoning Youchuang has planned to build a 15,650 t/a pesticide TC and 7,000 t/a pesticide intermediate project, and Jiangsu Changqing has planned to launch a 5,000 t/a S-metolachlor TC expansion project.
