Aiming
to establish the key market indicators of China's rice industry, CCM has carried out a
syndicated research project, namely Syndicated Research Project of Hunan Rice
Panel Data & Analysis Model, on rice production in Hunan Province——one of
the largest rice production provinces in China, by conducting panel data
investigations around basic information which include pesticides, seeds,
fertilizers, diseases, pests and weeds, meteorology and agricultural products.
The survey of pesticide's application features has been conducted in Hengyang
City (Hengyang), Yueyang City (Yueyang) and Changde City (Changde) of Hunan Province
and a total of 900 farmers in these three regions were interviewed.
In
those three districts, the demand for pesticides from early rice planting was
similar. The findings are arranged by descending order of input value: insecticides,
herbicides, fungicides and others. As predicted by CCM, in those three
districts, in 2012, the total market value of herbicide products was USD88
million (RMB540 million) for the rice planting-including early season rice,
mid-season rice and late season rice. Among the three districts, Hengyang's
market value of herbicide products was the highest, reaching USD42 million
(RM260 million).
In
terms of herbicide categories used, out of 900 farmers interviewed in those
three districts, 813 mentioned 19 kinds of herbicides. Among them, glyphosate
and paraquat were most frequently mentioned, far ahead of other herbicides,
accounting for about 30% and 15% respectively. It's noteworthy that in Yueyang,
many interviewees, 34.1%, had no awareness of the kind of herbicides they were
using, compared with Hengyang's 3.3% and Changde's 9.1%.
As
for brands, over half of farmers (about 64%) in Hunan Province had no awareness
of them. According to the herbicide brand survey from 510 farmers, 22
herbicides brands and four pesticides companies were mentioned. However, those
mentioned brands are almost all from multinationals: 49.3% was Monsanto's
Roundup (glyphosate formulation), 28.9% was Dow AgroSciences' Daojie
(penoxsulam formualtion) and 5.6% was Dow AgroSciences' Daoxi
(cyhalofop-butyl•penoxsulam formulation).
Retail
stores of agricultural products are the main pesticides purchase channels in
these three districts. Farmers usually buy pesticides by experience, and rarely
accept recommendations from merchants, friends and governments.
Rice
is one of the most important crops in China, and Hunan Province is a large rice
producing province, with a planting area of more than four million hectares. It
ranked first in rice-sowing area and rice output in China in the past few
years. Changde, Yueyang and Hengyang are the three important rice planting
cities in Hunan Province. According to CCM's survey, about 50% farmers plant
rice twice annually (early season rice and late season rice) and about 40%
farmers choose single mid-season rice annually.
