According to the survey from China ICAMA, both the production and marketing of paddy pesticide are booming in June and the stocks are sufficient to control the pest &disease on paddy.

On 8 Jul 2014, China MEP published the first list of environmentally compliant glyphosate producers. The draft public consultation period wrapped up on the 13 Jun 2014 after which four companies (just a fraction of total applicants) were finally included into the first batch.

In June 2014 the price of Chinese produced glyphosate was CNY 30,000 per ton which represented a significant decrease from April’s values which were on average 36,000 and was a mere shadow of the heights witnessed during 2013’s glyphosate rush. It would be reasonable to point the finger at poor overseas sales performances. However upon closer scrutiny China MEP’s failure to stabilize production volume is probably the telling factor and requires both China’s government and domestic industry to profoundly rethink China’s domestic development strategy. China’s government has been almost powerless in reigning in the massive fluctuations in the value of Chinese produced glyphosate and has laid the foundations for massive regulatory reform with the hope of changing this situation.    Global Demand and Policy Failures: The relationship between South American demand and Chinese glyphosate prices was highlighted by a sharp decline in consumption and the inevitable negative impact on glyphosate prices. In response to declining sales, China’s knee jerk reaction has been to attempt to decrease overall supply in the hope of stabilizing price. The Chinese glyphosate industry and the price of Chinese glyphosate exports have been victims of China’s high volume/low quality production paradigm. A dispersed production base divided into the hands of hundreds of small production operations has made price fixing almost impossible. Stabilizing Value Means Controlling the Supply The government’s solution to this problem is to centralize production and ultimately control supply variables, a natural selection by regulation designed to thin China’s glyphosate production herd allowing only the fittest producers to survive. The supposition is that increased regulatory standards and greater regulation of production certification will force substandard glyphosate exporters out of business and thereby consolidat

The effect of environmental protection inspection on China Glyphosate industry, EPI progress, the next work plan of CCPIA on Glyphosate manufacturers and how EPI effect on the price of Glyphosate etc. are all discussed in this article. The author is came from CCPIA, one half government organization organized and directing the Glyphosate EPI. 

On 12 Jun 2014, ICAMA invited experts to consult on the “Catalogue of Residual Test Sites for Minor-Crop Use Pesticide Registration”, which is an important supporting document for the upcoming “Special Provisions of Pesticide Registration for Vegetables and Featured Crops Use (Interim)”. The provisions were formulated to facilitate the registration process of pesticide used for minor crop.

China and Egypt have reached an agreement on mutual acceptance of data for pesticide registration, which will greatly facilitate the trade of agrochemicals and pesticides between the two countries.

The last change and development of China disinfectants management are frequent and significant. what has  happened and what's the new requirements of regulatory compliance in China? what's the most relevant issues?

On 10 Jun 2014, MoA issued a circular to all provincial agricultural bureaus to strengthen the supervision on Agricultural GMOs. The Ministry acknowledged that activities involving GMO’s are “controllable nationwide.” Regulatory breaches do occur from time to time which arouse public concern over China’s governance on Agricultural GMOs.

This article details the regulatory requirements and mandatory procedures for import and export of pesticides in China and the management of the two special pesticide types a) pesticide for export only and b) substances falling outside the regulatory definition of pesticides but used in pesticide applications commonly known as “non-pesticide use pesticide (NPUP)”

With the changes in farming practices, planting patterns and increasing use of agrochemicals, there is an urgent need to reduce the risks caused by pesticide use. On 22 May 2014, China MoA issued a circular to the provincial agriculture bureau to increase monitoring of the risks of pesticide use. The Ministry will implement the monitoring campaign nationwide to record serious safety incidents involving pesticides, which will help the ministry to understand which pesticides post the greatest risks.
