Glyphosate market sounds nice in the summer of 2012! Glyphosate price has kept uptrend in Q2 2012, and many active producers claimed that glyphosate supply is still tight.

The stocks of listed glyphosate producers attract investors' favor again, and the stock price rises and even hits limit up one after another. Not only the stock rises, but the operating performance of glyphosate producers also improves further. Some glyphosate producers released announcement and claimed that they have achieved estimated profit in Q2 2012 because of the enhancing profitability of glyphosate.

Glyphosate has witnessed a decline sine H2 2008, and the low price lasted in 2010 and 2011. Many glyphosate manufacturers without strong competitiveness have been eliminated from the market in the past tragic three years, which leaves some market share to the survivors. Will the rising stocks price of glyphosate producers be a signal that the glyphosate market improves essentially? Will the enhancing profitability of glyphosate last in the second half of 2012?
