How Will Global Mancozeb Market Go from 2012 to 2016?

Mancozeb, a broad-spectrum fungicide, introduced in 1962 but still plays a significant role in the world fungicide market. It is used on a wide variety of food/feed crops, including fruit trees, vegetable crops, field crops, etc. Mancozeb can control early blight, late blight, anthracnose, rust, downy mildew, etc. The demand of mancozeb is increasing year by year, and its global capacity increased largely during 2003 to 2009. With its market value reaching USD400 million in 2009, mancozeb’s global capacity is estimated to exceed 220,000t/a in 2010. What is the overall information of mancozeb registration, supply, demand, international trade flows and market price in global market? What are the 2012 – 2016 future trends of above aspects respectively?

As one of the most popular bulk commodities of fungicides, mancozeb is manufactured concentrate on Asia-pacific, South America and Europe. In recent years, global market of mancozeb has had some changes. The Asia-pacific, shares the largest percent of global mancozeb market, and China and India are the largest producers of mancozeb in Asia-pacific. Furthermore, South America also has a big share of mancozeb market, but its production bases nearly serve for North America market. The U.S. is the represent country. Most of the mancozeb is exported to the U.S. European market deserves attention as it takes up a large part of total mancozeb market share in the world. About 80% of European mancozeb is consumed by itself. How does mancozeb industry develop in major countries, such as China, India, Australia, Thailand, USA etc? What are the registration, supply, demand, and future forecast of mancozeb in these countries?

In addition, some huge producers of mancozeb had some merger projects and there are some policies related to mancozeb in some countries, which would certainly have influence on the global market of mancozeb. For example, UPL purchased the fungicide business which including the mancozeb technical business in the world and related property from DuPont in June 2010. What’s more, Dow AgroScience India was resisted by Indian government due to its bribe on pesticide registration. These factors probably make the global circulation situation of mancozeb change. What are the company dynamics of key mancozeb manufacturers in the world, including Dow AgroSciences, UPL, Bayer, Du Pont etc?

All questions will be answered in CCM International’s upcoming report of Survey of Global Mancozeb. The report is expected to come out in May, 2012. If you need more detail of this report, please feel free to contact us at econtact@cnchemicals.com.

Zhejiang Heben Successfully Improves Synthetic Process of Difenoconazole

November Issue of Fungicides China News has been published by CCM recently, presenting that Zhejiang Heben Pesticide & Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Heben), one of the leading fungicide manufacturers in China, has successfully completed the innovation on synthetic process of difenoconazole.

Conventionally, difenoconazole is developed from 2,4-Dichloroacetophenone followed by etherification, bromination, ketal reaction and nucleophilic substitution, with an overall yield of about 70%.

However, Zhejiang Heben's new process of synthesizing difenoconazole has more advantages than the conventional method mentioned above. In detail, beginning with 3,4' -dichlorodiphenyl ether, difenoconazole is synthesized by acylation, condensation and cyclization, with a total yield of about 81%. What's more, the purity of difenoconazole can reach over 97%. Besides high yield and purity, this new method has other advantages, such as easy operation, short reaction time, little "three wastes", etc.

Zhejiang Heben constructed a 100t/a difenoconazole technical production line as early as 2007, thereafter the  company has gradually expanded its capacity to the current about 450t/a, says Mr. Li, Sales Manager of Zhejiang Heben. Moreover, most difenoconazole technical of Zhejiang Heben is exported to the overseas market.

Check the specific synthesis route of difenoconazole in CCM’s Fungicides China News 1111, together with major headline news below:

-Shandong Dacheng continues to show a financial deficit of about USD4.88 million (RMB31.01 million) in Q3 2011.

Zhejiang Heben Innovates Synthetic Process of Difenoconazole

Zhejiang Heben Pesticide & Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Heben), one of the leading fungicide manufacturers in China, has successfully completed the innovation on synthetic process of difenoconazole, and this project has been checked and accepted by the Science Technology Department of Zhejiang Province smoothly, according to CCM’s November Issue of Fungicides China News.

Difenoconazole, a triazole fungicide with high efficiency, low toxicity and broad spectrum, is widely applied to prevent and control various diseases, such as sheath blight, rust, early blight, powdery mildew, leaf spot, scab, etc., in the fields of wheat, rice, tomato, pepper, grape, citrus and so forth.

It is well known that Syngenta is the first company developing difenoconazole which is conventionally prepared from 2,4-Dichloroacetophenone followed by etherification, bromination, ketal reaction and nucleophilic substitution, with an overall yield of about 70%.

However, Zhejiang Heben's new process of synthesizing difenoconazole is relatively more advantageous than the conventional method mentioned above. In detail, beginning with 3，4' -dichlorodiphenyl ether, difenoconazole is synthesized by acylation, condensation and cyclization, with a total yield of about 81%. What's more, the purity of difenoconazole can reach over 97%.

Besides high yield and purity, this new method still has other advantages, such as easy operation, short reaction time, little "three wastes", etc., to improve the synthetic process of difenoconazole, according to Zhejiang Heben. The specific synthesis route of difenoconazole is as follows.

As description in the article on the study of new synthetic process of difenoconazole, the result shows that  isobutyl alcohol, a low-boiling solvent, is substituted for a high-boiling one--dimethylamide (DMF) in the condensation reaction and the former is easily recovered compared with the latter.

In cyclization reaction, replacing p-toluenesulfonic acid with the homemade composite catalyst can not only shorten the reaction time but also reduce the consumption of 1,2-Propanediol to a great extent; the yield of difenoconazole is risen by 5% accordingly when using homemade composite catalyst of Zhejiang Heben.

Last but not least, adopting composite solvent crystallization technique achieves the breakthrough in crystallization problem in the purification process of difenoconazole, which can also greatly increase product content.

Zhejiang Heben constructed a 100t/a difenoconazole technical production line as early as 2007, thereafter the  company has gradually expanded its capacity to the current about 450t/a, says Mr. Li, Sales Manager of Zhejiang Heben. Moreover, most difenoconazole technical of Zhejiang Heben is exported to the overseas market.

Will Paraquat be Fully Banned in China?

A proposal about further restricting and forbidding the use of paraquat was raised at the 4th China High-Level Forum on Pesticides. Domestic pesticide industry was shocked and dispute is raised in and out of the domestic pesticide industry.

The opinion that supports the ban on paraquat believes that the non-selective herbicide with high toxicity does harm to the environment and animals. Eyeing that more than 5,000 people die from the poisoning caused by paraquat annually, many medical workers propose legislating against the use of paraquat in the National People's Congress.

However, those who hold different opinions believe that it is not paraquat which kills people but the misleading use and abuse of paraquat. They oppose to the idea of all-out ban on paraquat, which is irreplaceable at present.

Anyway, whether banning paraquat or not still can't be nailed down and the implementation of the policy is still beyond expectation. The all-out ban on the product in China may still have a long way to go.

More details about paraquat, especially whether it will be fully forbidden to use in China, please keep on focusing CCM’s Crop Protection China News.

More news in latest issue of Crop Protection China News include:

-Banning paraquat raises dispute in China

-Rising pesticide resistance bothers domestic pesticide industry

-Heavy metal seriously pollute domestic farmland

-Jiangsu Huifeng to expand in fluorine industry

-Hubei Sanonda predicts good performance in Q3
