Glyphosate industry expansion over-integration inevitable

Glyphosate prices have soared since 2007. The average market price per ton of glyphosate has risen from 28,000 yuan in early 2007 to as high as 110,000 yuan in March of this year, and it has now dropped back to about 94,000 yuan. While the price of glyphosate skyrocketed, problems such as excessive expansion of the glyphosate industry and environmental pollution also became apparent. From April 24th to 25th, at the 2008 China Glyphosate and Upstream Industry Development Summit Forum held in Beijing, the experts and scholars reached a consensus that the Chinese glyphosate industry urgently needs to be reintegrated.

It is understood that the dramatic increase in the sown area of ​​global genetically modified crops and the rapid development of biofuels have promoted strong demand in the herbicide market and led to a significant increase in sales of glyphosate. In 2007, global consumption of glyphosate reached 443,000 tons, which almost doubled compared with 2002. According to Yang Guangliang, deputy chief engineer of the Institute of Petroleum and Chemical Industry Planning, in 2007, the production capacity of glyphosate in China was about 300,000 tons, and the output was about 190,000 tons. It is estimated that in 2008, China's glyphosate production capacity will reach 400,000 tons, and the output will exceed 250,000 tons. At present, China is the largest glyphosate country in terms of global output, sales, and exports.

At present, many domestic glyphosate manufacturers have increased their production capacity, and new investors continue to enter the glyphosate and its upstream raw materials market to repeat the construction, and raw materials are in short supply; domestic demand will not increase significantly in the short term. The newly added capacity is only digested by exports, and it is vulnerable to green barriers and causes international trade frictions. China has gradually increased its efforts to rectify polluting enterprises. Several glyphosate companies have been closed this year, and the industry faces more environmental pressures. The bigger it is.

In order to achieve a sound and rapid development of China's glyphosate industry, the participating experts agreed that the glyphosate industry urgently needs to be reintegrated. Wang Luxian, chairman of the China Pesticide Industry Association, proposed the direction of industrial integration: First, conscientiously implement the national industrial policy and further adjust the variety structure; Second, vigorously strengthen environmental protection, and strive to achieve the comprehensive utilization of waste; Third, to further improve the level of technology and products Quality, especially the quality of glyphosate formulations, further expands the market share in the international market.

The forum was sponsored by China Chemical News and co-organized by Hebei Donghua Chemical Group. More than 200 people including officials from relevant ministries and commissions, leaders of pesticide administrations across the country, and CEOs of glyphosate and its raw material production companies attended the forum. Cui Xuejun, Vice President of China Chemical Engineering, presided over the meeting.
