According
to Herbicides China News issued by
CCM in August, as of the
end of July 2013, Lier Chemical Co., Ltd. (Lier Chemical) is still unable to
realize the mass production of glufosinate-ammonium technical. The office
website of Panorama Network Co. Ltd. disclosed that Lier Chemical's project for
600t/a glufosinate-ammonium technical still needs time to achieve full
commercial production, mainly due to the big technology barriers and the strict
requirement for safety management. At present, Lier Chemical has been making
great efforts to improve the production in the project. In addition, the
company can now produce a small amount of glufosinate-ammonium
technical. The glufosinate-ammonium technical is mainly used by the company
itself to produce glufosinate-ammonium formulation, a
salesman of Lier Chemical said.
The
construction of Lier Chemical's 600t/a glufosinate-ammonium technical project
which was initiated from late 2007 has lasted for almost six years. It is far
behind schedule. (For more details, please refer to Herbicides China News 1112
and 1207: Lier Chemical's glufosinate-ammonium always late and Lier Chemical
only supplies glufosinate-ammonium formulation)
As
a high-end herbicide with excellent effect, Lier Chemical believes that
glufosinate-ammonium business will be financially lucrative in the future, even
though it is still unsatisfactory at the moment. It is reported that the
consumption of glufosinate-ammonium is the second largest in
herbicide-resistant GM crops in the world, behind that of glyphosate. The
consumption of glufosinate-ammonium is likely to increase with the rapid
development of GM crops.
However,
the European Commission has recently announced that it would begin to restrict
the use of glufosinate-ammonium on Nov. 13, 2013 because the product may cause
harm to mammals and non-target arthropods. This will adversely affect the
worldwide application of glufosinate-ammonium to some extent. Thus, the policy
will also negatively impact the future performance of Lier Chemical's
glufosinate-ammonium business. According to the company's original sales plan,
80% of glufosinate-ammonium that it produces will be for export.
In
recent years, the number of glufosinate-ammonium registrants has witnessed
notable growth. However, few companies in China are able to produce the
product.
More
and more pesticide manufacturers are showing an interest in
glufosinate-ammonium, which is reflected by the registration quantity. As of
late July 2013, 12 companies have gained registration certifications for glufosinate-ammonium
technical in China, according to the Institute for the Control of
Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA). It is noteworthy that among the
12 glufosinate-ammonium technical registrations, eight were approved in 2013
and four were registered before 2012. The number of glufosinate-ammonium
technical registrations in China has sharply increased by July 2013.
However,
there were few manufacturers of glufosinate-ammonium technical that maintained
normal operations for the product in the first half of 2013. According to the
China Crop Protection Industry Association (CCPIA), only one domestic
manufacturer, Yongnong Biosciences Co. Ltd. has maintained normal production of
glufosinate-ammonium technical from May 2013 to June 2013.
