Welcome to the October issue of Insecticides China News, specially published by CCM International, which has been extensively and intently focusing on the dynamics of China's insecticide industry.
Following up the future ban on 22 highly toxic pesticides, CCM International introduces its benefit to the development of bio-pesticide industry in China. More highly toxic pesticides leaving the market means more opportunities provided for lowly toxic pesticides, like bio-insecticides.
Another ban is underway, but on broad-spectrum insecticides without high toxicity—Hainan Province starts to prohibit the sales and application of carbosulfan, dimethoate and acephate from 5 Sept. Pesticide experts and dealers in the province have their own viewpoints on this move.
Besides government policy dynamics, CCM International also keep tracing the development of listed pesticide companies, covering Jiangsu Lanfeng, Shandong Dacheng in this issue. Shandong Dacheng is going to relocate its 45,000t/a insecticide production lines around Sept. 2012, while Jiangsu Lanfeng has finished building 8,000t/a acephate technical and formulation production lines this Sept.
During 2011 and beyond, we will cover a wide variety of issues related to insecticide market in China, including company dynamics, crop insect pests, supply and demand, price monitoring, related policies/registration, raw materials/intermediates, expiring patent, etc.
