CCM Data & Primary Intelligence Description: China’s paraquat industry has developed rapidly in recent years, with technical output growing with CAGR of 21% in 2003~2008. As the largest paraquat technical supplier in the world, China has created a new record in paraquat technical capacity in 2009, hitting 105,000t/a. China’s paraquat capacity has already exceeded the demand, but some large producers are still expanding the capacity. Why do they choose to do so and how do they survive the intense competition? Besides, with current global financial crisis, export of most herbicides, including glyphosate, has suffered obvious decline in 2009. However, paraquat export continues to see promising prospect, with export volume of technical reaching 53,000 tonnes in H1 2009, up 33% year on year. Why paraquat is so special and what kind of characteristics have contributed to its great success in herbicide market? How is the development trend in the future? Given China’s paraquat changing trend in 2008-2009, both domestic and overseas enterprises should pay close attention to existing and potential competitors in China, especially their technology improvement, production cost and market activities, etc., for the sake of seizing business opportunities. This report, based on CCM’s paraquat report finished in 2007 and its continuous monitoring on this industry in the past two years, will provide in-depth analysis on China’s current paraquat industry and future trends, in terms of technology innovation, waste treatment, export situation, raw material supply, pricing, etc. With wider perspective, this second edition of paraquat report will provide you with CCM’s primary intelligence. Penetrating into China’s paraquat market, this report not only updates all the data needed to Sep. 2009, but also strengthens the following aspects: Technology⎫ development situation and future trends; Changing raw material supply and⎫ its impact on paraquat production and price; Paraquat registration⎫ situation in the past few years; Governmental policies on paraquat⎫ production and improvement on waste treatment; Price changes in recent⎫ years and future trend; Analysis on paraquat export and future⎫ development; Consumption investigation.⎫ What can you benefit from this report? As China’s paraquat has been playing a crucial role in global market and its eye-catching performance under current global financial crisis will continue in the future, investment opportunities do exist in Chinese market. With CCM’s insight on this industry, the updated report will provides much useful information to the senior executives and decision makers who are seeking for investment opportunities within the industry.

Executive summary: With rapidly developed herbicide industry, reflected by sharply increasing output and enriching varieties, China has become a major herbicide supplier in the world. It was estimated that herbicide output in China had reached XXXX tonnes in 2008, ranking the first in the world. As a non-selective herbicide and with so many yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; promotion, paraquat has won an irreplaceable position in weed control of orchard, corn fields, no-tillage fields and mulberry fields. Paraquat consumption had grown with CAGR of XXXX% in 2004~2008, higher than the average consumption

CCM Data & Primary Intelligence growth of all herbicides (about XXXX%) in the same period. China is the largest paraquat technical and formulation producer in the world. As of Aug. 2009, paraquat technical capacity in China has reached XXXXt/a, which has exceeded the demand. Paraquat technical output was XXXX tonnes in 2008, with CAGR of XXXX% in 2004 -2008. Though paraquat capacity has exceeded the demand, some large paraquat technical producers are still planning to expand the capacity, which may further deteriorate the overcapacity situation and wash out some uncompetitive producers in the future. Both the overseas and domestic demand for paraquat is increasing rapidly in recent years. Consumption volume of paraquat technical and 20% AS had grown with CAGR of XXXX% in 2003-2008. As of Aug. 2009, there are XX active paraquat technical producers in China, mainly concentrating in Jiangsu, Hebei and Shandong. Major producers include Nantong Syngenta (XXXXt/a), Jiangsu Redsun (XXXXt/a), Hubei Sanonda (XXXXt/a), Shandong Lvba (XXXXt/a), etc. From 2004 to 2008, price of paraquat technical and formulation had increased gradually, and reached the peak in Aug. 2008, thanks to high raw material price and increasing paraquat demand both at home and abroad. Affected by the global financial crisis and intense competition among domestic producers, paraquat price began to drop in Aug. 2008. In Aug. 2009, mainstream quoted price for paraquat technical is USDXXXX/t, while that for formulation is USDXXXX/t. With more and more sufficient pyridine supply, its impact on paraquat price will become smaller and smaller in the future. A large proportion of paraquat technical produced in China is exported, accounting for XX% of total output in 2008. Thailand is the largest export destination for Chinese paraquat technical, followed by Indonesia and Australia. Chinese paraquat formulation export is mainly to Nigeria, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Ecuador.

Character of CCM' Report: The aim of this report is to provide powerful assistance to the strategy group and the management team in making correct decision as how to penetrate the ever-increasing China market and how to catch the maximum commercial opportunities. The report is formulated independently by CCMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional market researchers, based on the first-hand and primary data which are analyzed by scientific methodology, confirmed with both manufacturers/end users/traders and legal authorities, and presented in a logic way.

Consumption pattern of paraquat technical

China’s paraquat consumption has been increasing in recent few years with the rising domestic demand. In China, over xx% of paraquat technical is exported, and the rest is used to produce paraquat formulations, mainly paraquat AS 20%. The domestic consumption of paraquat (converted to paraquat technical) has increased from xxxxxxx tonnes in 2004 to xxxxx tonnes in 2008 with CAGR of xxxx%. Figure III-6-1-1 Consumption pattern of paraquat technical in China, 2004-2009 ……..

Application of paraquat formulations

Paraquat is used to control broad leave weeds and grasses, but less effective on deep rooted plants. It does not harm mature bark, and is thus widely used for weed control in fruit orchards and crops in zero tillage land, including corn, rubber, bean, cane and tea. It is used for weed control on non-crop land and can be used as a defoliant for cotton before harvest. …….. Figure III-6-2-1 Consumption structure of paraquat AS 20% in China, 2008 ……..
