Background Information Introduction of Pesticide Industrial Parks in China

As one of the largest pesticide production and export countries in the world, China has witnessed continuous growth in its pesticide output and export in recent years. Its pesticide TC output in 2012 reached 3,549,090 tonnes, exceeding 3 million tonnes for the first time, according to China Crop Protection Monthly Report issued by CCM in May.
 
Although China’s pesticide industry has experienced fast development in recent years, some negative problems have been generated at the same time, such as the recurrence of "three wastes" (waste gas, waste water and industrial residue), the plight of overcapacity, irrational competition, lack of world-famous brands and low added value.
 
 
During the planning stage, the establishment of pesticide industrial parks is believed to be helpful to coordinate pesticide industrial integration. What's more, with reasonable resource allocation and effective environmental protection, it is a good way to optimize industrial structure and achieve greater economic benefits. As the majority of Chinese pesticide companies are not armed with the equipment, technology and other conditions to deal with industrial waste, the facilities of pesticide industrial parks help to tackle it. In recent years, most pesticide companies have moved their production sites into industrial parks so that they can cope with waste gas, waste water and industrial residue. The relocation to industrial parks is also beneficial because it helps integrate various resources, and better supports companies in R&D and QC. Therefore, the Chinese Central Government encourages pesticide manufacturers to relocate to industrial parks.
 
China began the planning of industrial parks for pesticide companies in 2004. At the end of 2005, the first was set up in Yangkou Chemical Industrial Park in Rudong County, Jiangsu Province by the joint efforts of the China Crop Protection Industry Association (CCPIA) and Rudong County Government. At present, with the encouragement and support from both central and local governments, Rudong County Yangkou Chemical Industrial Park in Jiangsu Province is a leading industrial park in China. Aiming to create an environmentally-friendly industrial park, Yangkou Chemical Industrial Park has made great achievements in environmental protection and safety maintenance, together with capacity for chemical products. At the beginning of 2006, the CCPIA signed an agreement with Weifang Binhai Economic Development Zone in Shandong Province to co-establish another industrial park for pesticide companies in northern China, namely Northern China Pesticide Industry Park. After that, pesticide industrial parks were founded step by step in Nanjing, Changzhou, Taizhou, Taixing, Rugao, etc.
 
So far, there are more than 390 pesticide industrial parks in China and more parks are under construction. The strategic adjustment of the pesticide industry in China is being realized through pesticide manufacturers' relocation into pesticide industrial parks. Relocation to pesticide industrial parks was one of the key aims for China's pesticide industry in 2010 and 2011.

Top 10 events of Chinese glyphosate industry in 2012


CCM, a professional information providing company in terms of market report, newsletter, data base and consultancy research service, has recently issued the latest edition of Glyphosate China Monthly Report that covers 10 topics in 12 pages. Among which, an article named of “Top 10 events of Chinese glyphosate industry in 2012” was highlighted as follows:

1. Glyphosate market turns warm
Having been depressed for three years since 2009, glyphosate market finally turned warm in 2012, which reflected in the increase of price, operating rate, output and export volume. In 2012, glyphosate price increased to the profitable level for most glyphosate producers in China, and the annual average ex-works prices of glyphosate technical, glyphosate 41% IPA, glyphosate 62% IPA, glyphosate 50% SP and glyphosate 75.7% WSG were about USD4,630/t, USD2,167/t, USD2,749/t, USD2,585/t and USD4,030/t respectively, up by about 25%, 12%, 15%, 8% and 5% YOY respectively. The overall operating rate in glyphosate industry in 2012 was about 60%, up by about 10 percentage points over 2011. The total output of glyphosate technical in China is estimated to be 400,000 tonnes in 2012, up by about 18% over 2011. The export volume of glyphosate A.I. (in terms of 100% glyphosate acid) is estimated to be 350,000 tonnes in 2012, up by about 16% over 2011.

2. Production capacity keeps expanding
Sichuan Fuhua Tongda Agro-chemical Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical Co., Ltd. both planned to construct 50,000t/a production lines of glyphosate technical respectively in mid-2012, but the 100,000t/a production lines were not launched in 2012.

3. Mergers and acquisitions still appear much
1) Sinochem International Corporation raised its equity of Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical Group Co., Ltd. to 40.53% in Feb. 2012 from 5% in 2011, and the latter is the holding company of Yangnong Chemical Co., Ltd., a listed company.
2) Zhejiang Wynca Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Wynca) held 51% share of Shandong Xinfeng Seed Co., Ltd. in May 2012. Besides, in Nov. 2012, Zhejiang Wynca acquired the additional 70% share of Golden Sunshine Mining Co., Ltd. which is a mining company located in Ghana.
3) Nantong Jiangshan planned to acquire 90% equity of Ladda Group which is a leading company in agrochemical business in Thailand in Dec., 2012.
4) Anhui Huaxing Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Anhui Huaxing) planned to issue additional 452.25 million shares to CEFC Shanghai Oil Group Co., Ltd. (CEFC Shanghai) at USD308.99 million, and CEFC Shanghai will hold 60.61% equity of Anhui Huaxing after the deal in July 2012, but the deal hasn't been approved by China Securities Regulatory Commission in 2012.
5) Chongqing Sanxia Paints Co., Ltd. transferred 100% equity of Chongqing Sanxia Yingli Chemical Co., Ltd. to Chongqing Medical Purple Eagle Asset Management Co., Ltd. in Dec., 2012.

4. Mixed glyphosate formulations with glyphosate acid content below 30% face elimination
On 26 March, 2012, China Agriculture Ministry released a formal document (Decree No. 1744), which clarified that the content of glyphosate A.I. (in terms of glyphosate technical acid) should not be lower than 30%. Registration applications (including temporary registration, formal registration and renewal registration) for mixed glyphosate formulations with glyphosate A.I. content below 30% faced rejection from 26 March, 2012, and existing registrations that can't meet the content requirement should be modified before 31 Aug., 2012.

5. Anti-dumping battle still continues
1) Australia Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) released the Notice No. 2012/54 On 16 Nov., 2012 and claimed that ACBPS would resume anti-dumping investigation on formulated glyphosate products exported to Australia from China as a result of Australia Trade Measures Review Officer (ATMRO)'s revocation of ACBPS's decision to terminate the investigation on the glyphosate formulations exported to Australia from China on 23 Oct., 2012, and the termination decision released on 2 Aug., 2012 was the result of anti-dumping investigation on formulated glyphosate products exported to Australia from China initiated on 6 Feb., 2012.
2) European Union Court of Justice claimed that it turned down an appeal by European Commission and upheld the decision ruled by European Union General Court on 17 June, 2009 that Zhejiang Wynca was not guilty of dumping (selling glyphosate at unreasonable prices in EU market) on 19 July, 2012.

6. Zhejiang Wynca is involved in the case of chemical use salt being sold in edible salt market
Zhejiang Wynca has been involved in the trouble related to "chemical use salt being sold in edible salt market" in early Feb. 2012 because its wholly-owned subsidiary, namely Zhenjiang Jiangnan Chemical Co., Ltd. (Zhenjiang Jiangnan), sold chemical use salt to Zhenjiang Haitian Salt Chemical Co., Ltd. which illegally produced and sold chemical use salt in edible salt market in 12 provinces of China in 2011, but Zhejiang Wynca states that it has no responsibility in this case, because Zhenjiang Jiangnan has the right to produce and sell chemical salt. What's more, Zhenjiang Jiangnan can't control how purchasers use the salt.

7. Anhui Huaxing avoids from being ST marked
Anhui Huaxing suffered an operating profit of USD14.22 million in 2011, but it enjoyed a net profit of USD0.40 million aided by the non-operating revenue of USD14.63 million, and thus Anhui Huaxing avoided from being ST marked for its stock.

8. Zhejiang Wynca introduces glyphosate 78% IPA SG
Zhejiang Wynca firstly produced a new glyphosate formulation called glyphosate 78% IPA SG, and sold it widely since March 2012 in China, but the introduction of this product was considered to be a marketing concept and differentiation.

9. Technique research concerning glyphosate wastewater treatment accelerates in 2012
According to the publication of China's State Intellectual Property Office, there were 17 public patent applications related to glyphosate wastewater treatment in 2012, thereinto, eight public patent applications are related to the removal techniques of phosphorus and nitrogen in glyphosate wastewater by the way of converting organicphosphorus compounds and organicnitrogen compounds to phosphate ion and ammonia ion respectively, and another nine public patent applications are related to the recycling techniques of glyphosate technical, PMIDA, glyphosine, glycine, formaldehyde, methylal, sodium phosphite and sodium chloride.

10. Development of glyphosate-tolerant weed is still fast
A new glyphosate-tolerant weed, namely amaranthus spinosus, was discovered in the US in 2012, and thus the number of global glyphosate-tolerant weed increased to 24 species. More existing glyphosate-tolerant weeds were also found in other countries. For example, another two new glyphosate-tolerant weeds were found in Greece and Argentina respectively in 2012. Besides, more glyphosate-tolerant weeds were found in some regions of the US. In 2012, three glyphosate-tolerant weeds, namely amaranthus palmeri, amaranthus spinosus and kochia scoparia, were found in Arizona, California, Mississippi and North Dakota respectively.

The situation of domestic fluoride chemical industry, 2012


As the raw materials and accessories of organic fluorine industry, metallurgy industry and electronic industry, inorganic fluoride chemical is an important part of fluorine chemical industry. At present, domestic inorganic fluoride industry is still in its infancy. Compared with the international advanced technology, domestic techniques of inorganic fluoride production are still at a low level. Many domestic manufacturers still produce low-end inorganic fluoride products. And there is a certain gap between China and developed countries in technology. In addition, about 60% of the refined product industry (electronic grade fluoride) still relies on import.

In Aug. 2012, most fluorine chemicals were still in sales depression and their prices kept downtrend in China. For example, the prices of 80% fluorite lump and 97% fluorite wet powder were about USD226/t and USD233/t in Aug. 2012, down by 2.21% and 4.99% compared with that in July 2012 respectively. Actually, the sales depression has started since Jan. 2012, and most fluorine chemical enterprises' operating performance had fallen a lot in H1 2012 accordingly. Like Shanghai 3F's total revenues and operating profit in H1 2012 decreased by 40.80% and 83.07% respectively compared with H1 2011.

What's worse, Chinese electronic grade HF industry now has to face a big threat from the EC's anti-dumping policy. On Sept. 6, 2012, EC decided to launch an anti-dumping probe into Chinese photovoltaic exports. The preliminary determination and provisional anti-dumping duty rate will be announced in nine months and the final determination will be announced in fifteen months. Months ago, Chinese photovoltaic industry, a downstream consumer of Chinese electronic grade HF industry, was hit by the US anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty, and as a result it nearly gave up the US market. This time, Chinese photovoltaic industry obviously shows more worries because the EU market accounts for the largest ratio in China's photovoltaic exports. As predicted by an insider, the price of aluminum fluoride is unlikely to rise in a short time and the future trend of the aluminum fluoride price mainly depends on the demand from electrolytic aluminum industry.

Failed to develop lithium iron phosphate in succession


As China's two well-known phosphorus companies -Jiangsu Chengxing Phoshorus-Chemcials Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Chengxing) and Liuguo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Liuguo Chemical) failed to develop lithium iron phosphate in succession, competitors should be cautious about choosing their business for expansion.
                                                  
On Nov. 11th, Jiangsu Chengxing, known as China's top phosphate chemical producer, announced that it plans to withdraw capital from its holding subsidiary — Jiangyin Tiancheng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Tiancheng New Energy), amounting to USD2.97 million investment. Jiangsu Chengxing's move is mainly affected by mediocre development of lithium iron phosphate since the establishment of Tiancheng New Energy.
  
With a registered capital of USD10.62 million, Tiancheng New Energy was formed by Jiangsu Chengxing in April 2010. Thereinto, Jiangsu Chengxing accounts for 28% stakes. In accordance with the initial scheme, Tiancheng New Energy should get into the mass production of lithium iron phosphate. 
 
In addition to Jiangsu Chengxing, Liuguo Chemical, as a listed company specializing in producing phosphate fertilizers (DAP, MAP and types of compound fertilizers), also takes a hit in extension of lithium iron phosphate.
 
On June 18th, 2010, Liuguo Chemical and Sichuan University signed a two-year technical service contract. According to the contract, Sichuan University should develop production technology of lithium iron phosphate to achieve mass production. However, the target of mass production was not realized till expiration of contract. Nonetheless, Liuguo Chemical expressed that they would not give up the development of lithium iron phosphate. The cooperation with Sichuan University is still in progress, as noted by one insider from the company.
