“Hubei Sanonda plans to acquire ADAMA by issuing stocks to purchase assets and collect supporting funds. After that, ADAMA will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hubei Sanonda, which means that the latter will upgrade to an international company with global sales network from a Chinese pesticide company. Undoubtedly, it will gain larger development space in the future.

In Nov. 201 5, CSRC restarted an IPO and Jingbo Agrochemicals launched an IPO again as well. So how is the strength that supports Jingbo Agrochemicals to conduct an IPO?

Although mesotrione is one of the important parts in the corn herbicide market, its domestic price has still failed to recover the glory achieved over the past few years after the two serious setbacks in 201 4. Will the market price of mesotrione still suffer to keep a low level or even see further decline in 201 6?

At present, China’s ethofumesate is mainly used to control and prevent weeds in beet fields. Relative to the extending use overseas, it is believed that ethofumesate enjoys a large development space in China.

In the coming future, pesticide effervescent agent will be continuously favored in the market, especially when China is inclined to develop low-toxic and low-residual pesticides. Meantime, developing mixed formulations, systemic formulations and overcoming hygroscopicity will become the major development focuses.

Now glufosinate-ammonium has become a hot spot of great concern in China’s pesticide industry. Part of domestic pesticide enterprises have been constructing or expanding or preparing to build the production lines for glufosinate-ammonium. Besides, there have been many pesticide enterprises having their glufosinate-ammonium products registered and there are still a great number of pesticide enterprises planning to apply for registrations on glufosinate-ammonium products.

In 201 6, China’s glyphosate market will still be in the doldrums. The market price will be low and may reach the bottom. In the future, the glyphosate market will encounter increasing supply but limited demand. And the market competition will still be grim.

In Jan.-Sept. 201 5, China’s export volume of glufosinate-ammonium technical recorded a YoY rise of 1 40%. It means that the total export volume in 201 5 at least will have a YoY rise of 1 40%.

The development prospect of paraquat especially non-AS paraquat looks bleak. At present, the MOA still not issues specific policies on non-AS paraquat. Besides, Shandong Luba does not obtain renewal of registration on non-AS paraquat. If non-AS paraquat is unable to develop continually, it means that paraquat is likely to disappear in China’s pesticide market after paraquat AS exiting the market.

In 201 5, China’s pyridine price continued falling. It is forecasted that the pyridine market will continue to remain sluggish in H1 201 6.

Mesosulfuron-methyl, as an excellent product among sulfonylurea herbicides, is very attractive in the market. As of 23 Dec., 201 5,

China has total 1 7 registrations on mesosulfuron-methyl (including repacking registrations).
