China's fungicides Imp. & Exp. analysis in H1 2013

China's import of fungicides witnessed a growth in the first half of 2013–import volume rising on one hand and import value climbing on the other. According to the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (China Customs), China's import volume of fungicides reached about 15,184 tonnes from Jan. to June 2013, up by 12.37% over the same period of last year. In detail, the import volume of retail packing fungicides hit around 760 tonnes in H1 2013, up by 4.11% over H1 2012. In addition, the non-retail packing variety climbed to about 14,424 tonnes in the meantime, up by 12.84% year on year.  

As for the import value of fungicide products, it amounted to USD171.13 million in H1 2013, up by 15.71% compared with that in H1 2012, owing to the growth in the total import volume of fungicides and the increasing average import price. It can be seen from the above data that the average price of imported fungicides in H1 2013 rose by 2.98% year on year to about USD11,270/t.

By export volume of fungicides to China, Germany still maintained the No. 1 place in H1 2013. Specifically, China imported about 3,243 tonnes of fungicide products from Germany, followed by India, France, Columbia, Japan, etc. It's worth noting that Thailand rose from No. 14 in H1 2012 to No. 8 in H1 2013 by export volume of fungicides to China. Moreover, the import volume of fungicides from the top 10 origins accounted for 80.62% of China's total in H1 2013.

In H1 2013, China's export business of fungicides also enjoyed a rise in export volume, value and price to varying degrees. Statistics from China Customs show that China exported about 37,034 tonnes of fungicides to overseas markets.

China brews soybean industrial policy adjustment


China is brewing soybean industrial policy adjustment, eyeing that the import volume of soybean hit a new record high in 2012 while domestic soybean production and processing industry continued to shrink in recent years. It's estimated that China would issue some new policies, hoping to improve the enthusiasm of farmers to grow soybeans and enhance the self-sufficiency rate of domestic soybean, according to CCM’s latest issue of AgriChina News Alert 1301.
  
In recent years, China’s soybean import volume showed an upward trend year by year while the output of domestic soybean has been declining. According to China Customs, China has imported 58.38 million tonnes of soybean in 2012, with an increase rate of 10.9% year on year.
 
At present, soybean industry insiders and food experts are expecting the supporting policy on the adjustment of soybean price eagerly. Price subsidy is considered to be a helpful policy tool. It is understood that the government would subsidize the price difference when the target price which provides a reasonable return to farmers is higher than current market price. Some experts also suggest that China should develop policies to support domestic soybean enterprises, including but not limited to tax incentives and government grants.

China's Import Volume of Pesticides Increases in Q1 2012

China imported 16,000 tonnes of pesticides in the first quarter of 2012, up 8.1% over the same period of 2011. Meanwhile, the total import value of pesticides reached USD110 million, increasing by 22.1% year on year; the average price of imported pesticides was USD6,896/t in Q1 2012, according to the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GAS), according to CCM’s May Issue of Fungicides China News.

Specifically, China's import volume of herbicides was the largest among all pesticides in Q1 2012, hitting 8,743 tonnes, accounting for 54.64% of the total volume of imported pesticides. Moreover, the YOY growth rate of herbicides' import volume in Q1 this year was 36.2%, much higher than those of other pesticide categories.
 
Meanwhile, the import volume of insecticides, the third largest imported pesticide category, increased by 16.5% year on year to 2,499 tonnes, and the average price of imported insecticides hit USD9,825/t. 

China's import volume of fungicides ranked the second among all pesticide categories in Q1 2012, reaching 3,439 tonnes; the average price of imported fungicides was USD7,996/t, higher than that of other imported pesticides. However, the YOY growth rate of fungicides' import volume witnessed a slip of 5.0%.
 
In detail, Shanghai and Beijing are the top two cities by import volume of fungicides in the first quarter of this year, reaching 887 tonnes and 603 tonnes respectively. It is worth noting that these two cities' import volume of fungicides took up 43.3% of the total import volume of fungicides at the same time.
 
In terms of import origin, Germany, the US and France are the top three countries that exported fungicides to China, with export volumes of 679 tonnes, 587 tonnes and 399 tonnes respectively in Q1 2012. It is not hard to see from these figures mentioned above that fungicides' export volume of these three countries accounted for 48.4% of China's total import volume of fungicides in Q1 this year.
 
Besides, the average prices of imported fungicides from Germany, the US and France were USD6,423/t, USD7,477/t and USD9,815/t separately in the first quarter of 2012. Thereinto, the average price of fungicides from France was the highest among the three, USD1,819/t higher than that of imported fungicides from all import origins.
 
Fungicides with high efficiency, broad spectrum and low toxicity are still main import varieties by China in Q1 2012, such as tebuconazole, difenoconazole, azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, trifloxystrobin and propiconazole. 

It can be estimated that China's import volume of pesticides from overseas market will continue to go up in the second quarter of 2012 with the coming of pesticides' peak consumption season. Meanwhile, pesticide industry's competition will be more and more intense in China in the near future because a large number of imported pesticides are entering domestic market.
