Bovine Colostrum Products Face Challenges

There are indications that recent sales of bovine colostrum products have been poor. This appears to be the result of the policy – released in April by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and effective from 1 September – which stipulated that bovine colostrum could not be added to 1st/2nd/3rd stage infant formula (please see Dairy Products China News, Vol.5 May issue, p9) , according to CCM’s September issue of Dairy Products China News.

 

Pure colostrum powder, tablets and capsules are still available now and are not limited by the policy. However it appears that, as was raised as an issue by the trade back in April, many consumers have become concerned about products with added bovine colostrum since the policy was released. Some distributors are indicating that sales of bovine colostrum products decreased by nearly 90% from May to August, and some suppliers have been streamlining their product ranges as a result.

 

Yet bovine colostrum infant formula remains available, especially on e-commerce sites: whilst they are being discounted, products imported or produced before 1 September may still be sold up to their expiry dates. For example, Nouriz colostrum milk powder imported from New Zealand with its original package is selling at USD15.8 (RMB100), a 3.8% discount. But the sales seem poor: only 225 cans were sold in the last 3 months according to the sales record from Nouriz’s official e-commerce site on tmall.com.

 

There is no national standard for bovine colostrum products in China, only the industry standard RHB602-2005 for bovine colostrum powder. Their efficacy is unproven and demand appears largely limited to mothers. According to a survey from China.com which ran up to 18 September, mothers represented 73.2% of customers for bovine colostrum products. From these mothers, 67.6% indicated that they knew something about bovine colostrum. The spending on such products is relatively low, in most cases only accounting for 9-10% of the total spending of a family.

 

The most popular brand of bovine colostrum powder is Shelca among domestic consumers according to the survey; 2 New Zealand products which we have covered before in past issues fared less well: Biolife ranked 9th favourite and 6th most familiar, and Neutrien ranked 8th and 7th respectively (please see Figure 9). Unexpectedly, Sunlife, Biolife and By-health all achieve mediocre rankings, though they are the largest players in the market (the former 2 import their products pre-packaged, whilst By-health manufactures its products with imported ingredients).

 

Marketers typically target their bovine colostrum products at adults, elderly consumers and older children who need nutrition supplements, and persuade consumers to add bovine colostrum powder to infant formula, but avoid discussion of the Government policy wherever possible.

 

Impact on the infant formula market seems minor, as this is a minor niche in the overall market. Most domestic producers state that they will not produce such products any more; major dairy processors avoid the category and no new bovine colostrum products are likely to be launched until the situation is clarified. This will certainly assist challenges to the category from other nutrition products unless the Government moves to address the issues which have arisen about standards of identity in this area. Meanwhile the effect has been to make the international colostrum market difficult for suppliers – for example the market situation was a factor in Westland Milk Products reduced colostrum collection and its lower 2012-13 payout forecast in August.

Chongqing Huapont acquires Hangzhou Qingfeng

On Sept. 6, 2012, Chongqing Huapont Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Chongqing Huapont) acquired 58.26% shares of Hangzhou Qingfeng Agro-chemical Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou Qingfeng). Hangzhou Qingfeng is a company mainly engaged in amide herbicides. Through this acquisition, Chongqing Huapont can enhance its herbicide production strength with Hangzhou Qingfeng’s resource production base, according to CCM’s October Issue of Herbicides China News.

 

In detail, Chongqing Huapont purchased 58.26% shares of Hangzhou Qingfeng, a subsidiary of Hangzhou Industrial Asset Management Investment Group Ltd. (Hangzhou Industrial) with about USD9.17 million (RMB 58.08 million).

 

At present, Chongqing Huapont has several main pesticide products—metamitron technical, oxyfluorfen technical, bifenthrin technical and picloram technical. After the acquisition, Chongqing Huapont can produce a series of amide herbicides including alachlor, acetochlor, pretilachlor, butachlor, metolachlor, propisochlor and also can produce prochloraz (a kind of fungicide), which are originally owned by Hangzhou Qingfeng.

 

It’s predicted that after the acquisition of Hangzhou Qingfeng, Chongqing Huapont will integrate complementary resources of Hebei Wanquan Kaidi Chemical Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. (Wanquan Kaidi),  Nutrichem Company Limited (Nutrichem) and Hangzhou Qingfeng for sensible use of resources, which can reduce the cost of sales sharply.

 

From 2011, Chongqing Huapont has aggressively developed pesticide business by way of acquiring pesticide companies. In detail, in July 2011, Chongqing Huapont acquired 100% shares of Nutrichem; in May 2012 , the company acquired 31.24% shares of Wanquan Kaidi whose main products are metamitron and clethodim; Also in this May, the company acquired 49% shares of Hebei Wanquan Hongyu Chemical Co., Ltd. (Wanquan Hongyu). (Herbicides News 1107: Huapont acquires Nutrichem; Herbicides News 1205: Huapont invests in Wanquan Hongyu and Wanquan Kaidi)

 

On Aug. 8, 2012, Chongqing Huapont issued its H1 2012 semi-annual report. It shows a good performance of Chongqing Huapont, especially in pesticide business. After Nutrichem was acquired by Chongqing Huapont, Chongqing Huapont has been congruously developing the businesses of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. And Nutrichem pushed Chongqing Huapont’s business forward in H1 2012.

 

In H1 2012, the total revenue of Nutrichem was about USD220.7 million (RMB1.4 billion) with gross profit margin of 13.56%. As to the company’s products, the revenue of metamitron technical and oxyfluorfen technical were about USD20.9 million (RMB132.3 million) and USD11.0 million (RMB69.7 million) with gross profit margin of 28.41% and 11.65% respectively.

 

Now, Chongqing Huapont further develops its pesticide business by acquiring Hangzhou Qingfeng whose business is in deficit. In an estimate, one of the reasons why Hangzhou Industrial sold its shares in Hangzhou Qingfeng is that Hangzhou Qingfeng suffered a net profit loss of about USD8.12 million (RMB51.43 million) in 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the total assets of Hangzhou Qingfeng was about USD83.2 million (RMB554.5 million) and its net assets was about USD-21.3 million (RMB-134.9 million).

 

As indicated by Chongqing Huapont, the deficit of Hangzhou Qingfeng is mainly due to the unwise operation of its mother company, Hangzhou Industrial. After the acquisition, Chongqing Huapont will enhance the management ability of Hangzhou Qingfeng and Hangzhou Qingfeng will recover in 2013 in an estimate.

 

As expressed by Chongqing Huapont, in the acquisition, there are still some potential risks that the company should pay attention to. According to the acquisition proposal, new industrial park has higher requirements on environment protection, especially on waste gas. Therefore, it wasn’t sure that Hangzhou Qingfeng could successfully relocate into new industrial park, as Chongqing Huapont estimated. Although Hangzhou Qingfeng has a good foundation, Chongqing Huapont needs to put more efforts to get rid of the malpractice in Hangzhou Qingfeng after the acquisition.

 

At present, Hangzhou Qingfeng’s production base is in Hangzhou Xiaoshan Linjiang Industrial Zone, Zhejiang Province. After the acquisition, Hangzhou Qingfeng will be relocated, though the exact relocation place has not been settled, according to the proposal of Chongqing Huapont.

 

At any rate, under the direction of Pesticide Industry Policy in China, Chinese pesticide market is experiencing an integration revolution. Accompanied with the current trend, acquisition in different industries will gain Chinese government’s support and the acquisition of Chongqing Huapont makes the company an early bird to grasp expansion chance.

 

Besides, at the end of 2011, Chongqing Huapont purchased 7.5% shares of CCAB Agro S.A. (CCAB), a company who is mainly engaged in pesticide business in Brazil. By cooperating with CCAB, it’s convenient for Chongqing Huapont to export pesticides to Brazil through setting up a sales channel and the company can further develop its pesticide export business. (Herbicides News 1202: Huapont plans to invest in Brazilian market)

New Regulations on Pesticide Management to be released before Dec. 2012

Although the accurate releasing date of the highlighted pesticide policy, namely Regulations on Pesticide Management (Regulation), is still not revealed by the Chinese government, Sui Pengfei, an official from the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA), disclosed during the 5th China High-Level Forum on Pesticides held on 25-26 Sept., 2012 that it will be finally carried out before Dec. 2012, according to CCM’s October issue of Crop Protection China News.

 

Different from the information disclosed by Mrs. Wu Zhifeng, Deputy Director of the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA), during the 3th Environmentally Friendly Pesticide Formulation Processing Technology and Production Equipment Exchange Meeting held on 24-25 April, 2012, Mr. Sui revealed six new modifications in the new Regulation compared with the former one.

 

1. The new Regulation encourages the innovation of pesticide enterprises, aiming to break the obstacles that restrict the development of pesticide production industry. It allows every enterprise to own the qualification to apply for registration of new pesticide, but not just those designated production enterprises.

 

2. It plans to draw lessons from the mode of Growth Enterprise Market in domestic stock market to stimulate the transaction of pesticide registration license. Before putting into production, the pesticide registration license can be transferred like stock until it is owned by a pesticide production enterprise.

 

3. Aiming to solve the problem of overcapacity and promote resource sharing, the new Regulation plans to comprehensively let go of the delegation processing of pesticides.

4. It allows pesticide enterprises which got registration license to transact registration materials to other pesticide enterprises in a bid to speed up the pace of those unqualified pesticide enterprises to voluntarily withdraw from domestic market.

 

5. Setting up license system of pesticide business, pesticide flow traceability system and pesticide recall system while cutting down the number of 350,000 pesticide stores in China.

 

6. Greater punishment is made in the new Regulation. Once production license is revoked, the supervisors and the directly responsible personnel of the company can not be engaged in pesticide production within ten years and the government will not accept new pesticide registration application from the involved enterprises within five years.

 

Actually, another large modification of the new Regulation, namely cancelling the temporary registration of pesticides, which has ever been revealed by Mrs. Wu was not mentioned by Mr. Sui in the six modifications. Even so it doesn’t mean that this regulation will not be written into the new Regulation. But on the contrary, it is believed that it has already been written into the new Regulation because of the great ambition that the Ministry of Agriculture of China had to do so.

 

It is still too early to predict the impact that the new Regulation will bring along after its implementation, however, it is easy to observe from the information released from the official that the new Regulation has strictly stuck to the general direction of the integration and regulation of domestic pesticide industry in the policy carried out in 2010, namely Pesticide Industry Policy.

More insecticides to be registered as OD formulation

The approval of DuPont’s cyantraniliprole is one of the most hottest topics in domestic insecticide industry recently. Besides cyantraniliprole’s innovative action mode and good control effect, its formulation type also draws much attention. DuPont’s cyantraniliprole is formulated as oil dispersions (OD), which is very rare for insecticide products in domestic market at present, according to CCM’s October issue of Insecticides China News

 

Some pesticide dealers even reveal that they never heard of OD formulation before. Well, they are not to blame. After all, DuPont’s cyantraniliprole OD formulation is only the second insecticide OD formulation in China. Before that, Jiangxi Tianren Ecology Co., Ltd. (Jiangxi Tianren) registered 30 billion spores/g of beauveria bassiana oil dispersion (OD) to control rice leaf folder in early 2012, which is the only registration of insecticide OD back then in China (Insecticide China News 1204, P14).

 

In fact, OD formulation is not a new formulation. China has over 190 registrations for OD formulation at present; thereinto, two for insecticides, one for plant growth regulator and the rest for herbicides such as nicosulfuron, atrazine, mesotrione, etc., according to the data from the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA).

 

However, this situation is expected to be changed in near future. “Besides herbicides, some companies are developing and registering insecticide OD products and fungicide OD products at present.” Said Mr. Qin from Jiangsu Sinvochem S&D Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Sinvochem), a chemical company dedicated to polymer surfactant development and application on eco-friendly pesticide formulations.

 

As disclosed by Mr. Qin, insecticide AIs expected to be formulated as OD products in near future include abamectin, spinosad, emamectin benzoate, indoxacarb, pymetrozine, thiamethoxam, thiacloprid, spirotetramat, etc.

 

At present, most of the pesticides are formulated as EC formulation. However, the government restricts the application of EC formulation because this formulation is harmful to the environment. As a result, the development of eco-friendly formulations such as SC, ME, WDG, EW, etc., is very hot in domestic market at present.

 

OD formulation is not so hot as the formulations mentioned above, but it also attracts some companies. It is expected that OD formulation will become hot because it owns some advantages such as its improved absorbability and strong adhesion, etc.

 

However, insiders reveal that the processing technology of OD formulation in China lags behind some overseas companies. The AI content of OD formulation produced by domestic companies is still very low at present. To better promote this formulation, companies should pay more attention to its R&D.

Marine coatings manufacturers meet depression of shipbuilding industry

After the rapid development for years, China’s shipbuilding industry faces difficulties in 2012 with a large scale of bankruptcy. As to marine coating manufacturers, series products and competitive price may help them to occupy more market shares after the shipbuilding industry comes out of depression, ,according to CCMs September issue of TiO2 China Monthly Report.

 

It is reported that at the end of 2011, the biggest shipbuilding company in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, Hengfu Shipbuilding Group declared bankruptcy. In Feb. 2012, Chongqing Kinlong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. followed the step of Hengfu Shipbuilding Group. In March 2012, Jiangsu Nantong Huigang Shipbuilding Industry also went into bankruptcy. Shortly afterwards, Zhejiang Jingang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. applied for bankruptcy protection.

 

At the same time, China CSSC Holdings Limited (CSSC) and Guangzhou Shipyard International Co., Ltd. (GSI), two big shipbuilding companies announced their semi-annual reports of H1 2012. As reported, the revenue and operating profit margin from shipbuilding business in both of the two companies decline dramatically compared with that in H1 2011. It can be observed that the shipbuilding industry encounters challenge of overcapacity. In order to gain more orders, the competition between shipbuilding companies becomes more and more fierce.

Abamectin producers are facing the challenge of industry reshuffle

The pesticide is an important class of agricultural chemicals that is closely related to human survival activities. Abamectin is an antiparasitic activity antibiotics and the producing bacteria is Streptomycesavermiti2lis.Abamectin not only have the general characteristics of biological pesticides, but also novel chemical structure, unique mechanism of action, strong insecticidal activity and a broad spectrum insecticide. It is known as a major breakthrough of antiparasitic properties in the past 20 years. At the same time, it is also one of the most popular and competitive products in the market of biological pesticides.

 

Abamectin manufacturer developing together is an important measure of China Pesticide Industry Association. The abamectin collaborative group, which was established to regulate the market order, actively strengthen communication and contact with relevant government departments, will work together to create sustainable and good environment development. After many years of industrialization development, China has become the largest producer and exporter of global abamectin and has made huge progress in both international and domestic market share, and the product quality. Abamectin has developed into an important insecticide miticide varieties.

 

It is predicted that abamectin producers are facing the challenge of industry reshuffle. On one hand, pests’ resistance to abamectin has been reinforcing, so the growth of demand for abamectin will slow down in the future. On the other hand, abamectin will face more intense competition from foreign products such as chlorantraniliprole, and its cost is rising because of the policy of banning the sale of abamectin ointment. Abamectin technical producers are facing the challenge of industry reshuffle, pests’ resistance to abamectin is increasing and the competition from foreign products is becoming more and more intense, who will win in the end? The selling of abamectin ointment has been investigated by GAQSIQ since May 2012, will this event impact on abamectin industry? Domestic market is under pressure, but export volume is increasing. How about the demand of abamectin in recently years?

 

As the mentioned above, CCM has launched a professional report “Data Report-Abamectin Survey in China”, which may help you to answer the questions. Presenting an in-depth analysis on China’s current abamectin market, this report attaches great importance to the following aspects: supply summary of abamectin technical (capacity, output and key manufacturers), ex-works price, export situation, demand, registrations of abamectin in China, analysis on competing products of abamectin, analysis on investigation of abamectin ointment. The data is based on large number of first-hand information and advanced forecast method. If you want know more about abamectin industry or to invest in the abamectin industry, this report is an indispensable tool for you. If you need any information or data regarding abamectin industry, please feel free to contact us.

China ‘s seed industry is under rapid development

The 12^th China Seed Workshop organized by Beijing Seed Congress& CCM, has been successfully held at Beijing Dacheng Road No.9 Hotel on 12^th September, 2012. The summit has attracted top managers from famous enterprises to attend, about 40 delegates from different companies were involved in this event to discuss the current situation and future development of China Seed Workshop and seed policy interpretation.

 

In the tide of economic globalization, most governments around the world take that strengthen their seed science and technology research and promote the development of the seed industry as an important measure to promote agricultural development. China is a large agricultural country, the huge seed demand increasingly makes the seed market in China become the focus of international competition in the seed industry.

 

According to the Development Plan, the innovation for agricultural science and technology should be the main task during the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015). For this, the central government demands the budgets at all levels to increase the financial investment in agricultural science and technology. Achieving the technological breakthrough would be mainly centered in crop breeding and agricultural machinery.

Paraquat’s HS code adjustment may stimulate its export price

Recently, the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA) system updated the ownership of HS code of 40% paraquat solution——the HS code has been brought under the chapter 38 in Customs tariff from the original chapter 29 since Aug.13, 2012, according to the announcement of relative agricultural departments in China. The adjustment of HS code means that the export rebate rate of 40% paraquat solution will be lowered from 9% to 5%. And it will increase the VAT and reduce the profit of paraquat exporters. Accordingly this adjustment may further stimulate paraquat’s export price, according to CCM’s September Issue of Herbicides China News.

 

 

According to the definition of the Customs tariff, the 40% paraquat solution is a kind of green liquid containing paraquat technical, emetic, corrosion inhibitor and water. In the Customs tariff, organic compounds is classified into the chapter 29 while miscellaneous chemical products is classified into the chapter 38. Before the HS code adjustment, the 40% paraquat solution was considered as a kind of organic compounds and put under the chapter 29 with the HS code number of 2933399022.

 

In Aug. 2012, the FOB Shanghai price of paraquat TK rised slightly, after the announcement was issued. Accoding to the quotation from the main paraquat manufacturers in China, such as Nanjing Redsun Co., Ltd. (Nanjing Redsun), Shandong Lvfeng Pesticide Co., Ltd. (Shandong Lvfeng) and Hubei Sanonda Co., Ltd. (Hubei Sanonda), the FOB Shanghai price of 42% paraquat TK was USD2,290/t in Aug., 2012, increasing by about USD80/t from that of July, 2012(USD2,210/t).

 

Explained by a sales manager in Nanjing Redsun, a company with 24,000t/a of paraquat TK (the biggest capacity in China), the price increase of 42% paraquat TK is attributed to the reduction of export tax rebate and the recent demand increase from the market. In other words, Nanjing Redsun increased the price of 42% paraquat TK to offset the profit decrease resulted from the reduction of export rebate.

 

It’s observed that Nanjing Redsun didn’t have much opinion on the adjustment but to raise the price of paraquat in response just like other paraquat manufacturers.

 

Recently, the sales of paraquat products in Hubei Sanonda has slipped a litttle. A sales manager of the company explained that it is the price increase of paraquat that led to the sales drop.

 

It’s reported by some media that recently there was an argument between some paraquat enterprises and China Customs that whether the HS code of 40% paraquat solution should be classified into chapter 38 or chapter 29.

 

In early July, 2012, the Ministry of Agriculture of China issued new regulations on paraquat registration, in a move to follow the official decision of restricting paraquat SL in China. In the new regulation, it defines that emetic, odor agents and colorant should be added into the paraquat solution products. (Herbicides China News 1207: ICAMA implements paraquat restriction)

 

China Customs considers that because 40% paraquat solution is compounded with emetic, odor agents and colorant, it should be declared under the chapter 38, where the miscellaneous chemical products are classified into.

 

However, some paraquat enterprises considered that declaring paraquat under the chapter 38 was unreasonable, because the effect of paraquat solution doesn’t changed, even though it is added with protective ingredients.

 

Anyway, this argument has been closed into a conclusion that the HS code of 40% paraquat solution products is put under the chapter 38 from Aug.13, 2012. And the paraquat enterprises should obey the government’s decision about paraquat export.

Operating performance of four listed glyphosate companies may improve further in H2 2012

The market situation of glyphosate has improved in H1 2012, which may last and improve the operating performance of four listed glyphosate companies further in H2 2012, according to CCM’s September Issue of Glyphsoate China Monthly Report.

 

If the improved market situation of glyphosate last in H2 2012, it’s estimated that four listed glyphosate companies’ operating performance will improve further in H2 2012, or even they all can be profitable this year (TABLE 5).

 

On 28 Aug., 2012, Zhejiang Wynca Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Wynca) released its 2012 semi-annual report and claimed that it would achieve an estimated profit of about USD4.26 million (RMB27 million) in Q3 2012, and thus Zhejiang Wynca would achieve break even in net profit attributed to shareholders in the first nine months of 2012.

 

On 22 Aug., 2012, Anhui Huaxing Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Anhui Huaxing) released its 2012 semi-annual report and claimed that it would achieve an estimated profit of about USD2.13-2.92 million (RMB13.5-18.5 million) in Q3 2012, and thus Anhui Huaxing would achieve net profit of about USD1.26-2.05 million (RMB8-13 million) in the first nine months of 2012.

 

The other two listed glyphosate companies, Nantong Jiangshan Agrochemical & Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Nantong Jiangshan) and Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Yangnong), both achieved good net profit in H1 2012, and it’s estimated that the two companies would maintain their good performance in the second half of this year.

 

The demand for glyphosate from overseas is still very strong in Q3 2012 and is likely to last till  Q4 2012, which will promote the export volume of the four companies further. It’s estimated that the revenue in the four companies would remain stable in H2 2012, or even exceed that of the first half of this year.

 

In H1 2012, the export volume of glyphosate A. I. from Zhejiang Wynca, Nantong Jiangshan and Jiangsu Yangnong has increased by 16%, 20% and 61% respectively, with export value increasing by 41%, 42% and 94% accordingly over that in H1 2011 (FIGURE 7). Because of the mismanagement and shortage of operating funds, Anhui Huaxing didn’t grab the sales opportunity in H1 2012, and its export volume and value of glyphosate A. I. decreased by 33% and 16% respectively. After the completion of acquisition by a strong company, namely CEFC Shanghai Oil Group Co., Ltd., Anhui Huaxing’s problem of operating fund shortage and mismanagement would be improved greatly, which would have a good effect on Anhui Huaxing’s operating performance in H1 2012.

 

The prices of yellow phosphorous, glycine, IDAN and PMIDA have increased little in Q3 2012, but the prices of these raw materials except yellow phosphorous will not increase greatly in Q4 2012 due to the overcapacity and limited demand under the situation of slow development in China’s manufacture industry. Besides, the price of glyphosate is still increasing in Q3 2012, and it’s likely to maintain at a high level in Q4 2012 mainly due to the strong demand for glyphosate and strict environmental protection policy, which will promote the situation of profit in the four companies further.

 

The development of China’s manufacture industry was very low in H1 2012 and this situation is likely to last in H2 2012, which meant that the prices of raw materials for producing glyphosate including yellow phosphorous will not increase greatly in H2 2012. According to the announcement from National Bureau of Statistics of China, the Purchase Management Index (PMI) was 49.2% in Aug, 2012, down 0.9 percentage point over that in previous month, which was the first time to decrease below the gloom-boom index of 50 inChina in 2012.

 

Besides, the quantity of restarting production in small and medium-sized glyphosate producers would not be too much due to the high cost in environmental protection, leading to the limited increase in  glyphosate supply, and thus the price of glyphosate will stay at a high level in H2 2012. It’s heard that China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection will carry out a check in China’s pesticide industry, and the companies which can’t reach the waste treatment standard will be ordered to stop production.

 

Furthermore, in H1 2012, the operating rate and gross profit margin of glyphosate business of Zhejiang Wynca, Nantong Jiangshan and Jiangsu Yangnong in H1 2012 was about 100%, 90%, 70% and 11%, 5%, 10% respectively, all increased over that in H1 2011. The operating rate of Anhui Huaxing in H1 2012 was about 39%, down 17 percentage points over that in H1 2011, but its gross profit margin in glyphosate business was 9%, up seven percentage points over that in H1 2011. After solving the problem of operating fund shortage, it’s estimated that the operating rate of Anhui Huaxing would increase in H2 2012.

 

According to CCM’ s  analysis report on glyphosate price, as to Aug. 2012, the price of glyphosate technical was about USD4,646/t, up 22% over that in Jan. 2012 (FIGURE 7).

 

The prosperity in China’s glyphosate industry resulting from the improved market situation of glyphosate is a special scenery in China’s bleak chemical industry at present, but for the glyphosate producers which have witnessed the miserable situation in China’s glyphosate industry in the past three years, how to improve the operating performance would be the most important thing in H2 2012 and the future coming years.
