Due to the lack of Chinese brands registered independently in foreign countries, although the export amount of pesticides is relatively large, most of the products enter the international market in the form of original drugs. For example, China's large exports of glyphosate are further processed into preparations by foreign companies. Or label it as a pesticide before entering the markets of developed countries. At present, China is only a large exporter of pesticides. It is not a country with strong export of pesticides. A large number of imitation products with low technological content and original drug products with low added value are exported. It is based on OEM production to support the current scale of trade, resulting in large Some of the profits fell into the hands of international middlemen. This kind of development model that depends on low cost and quantity expansion can no longer meet the needs of the development of economic and trade globalization. In recent years, some developed countries have come out with new trade barriers related to pesticides, which are largely directed against China. Such as improving the difficulty of pesticide registration, limiting the import of pesticide species, strict pesticide residues in agricultural and livestock products, etc. At present, China does not have an internationally-recognized GIP (Good Laboratory Practice) laboratory engaged in research on environmental toxicology, residues, and metabolism; more than 200 pesticides included in the EU's “black list†are still widely produced in China; China’s Most pesticide products have not yet obtained entry permits in developed countries. Due to restrictions on pesticides from China, especially new testing standards for chemical products that were introduced in 2007, European and American countries will have a serious impact on the export of pesticide products from China to EU countries. China's glyphosate has encountered nine anti-dumping, anti-absorption, and anti-circumvention investigations from the European Union, Brazil, Australia, and Argentina. As a result, China has lost its market in the EU and Brazil. In the future, China's exports to these countries will be reduced accordingly, while the major export destinations are limited to South America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
China's pesticide production currently exceeds supply in the domestic market, and the export of pesticides has become a powerful driving force for the development of pesticide production. At present, international pesticide multinational corporations have increased the integration and investment in the global pesticide market. Regional cooperation has accelerated. The proportion of large enterprise groups in the world’s pesticide production has increased, making the pesticide market controlled and traded by foreign large groups. The level of trade is getting higher and higher. Therefore, it is urgent for Chinese pesticide companies to increase their international competitiveness. The pesticide industry must have clear understanding and adequate preparations. It is necessary to formulate supporting policies for industrial transformation and upgrading as soon as possible, and to change the lack of core technologies and lack of independent intellectual property rights in the pesticide industry. , lacking the status quo of world-renowned brands, strengthening the research on key technologies and key technologies in pesticide production, increasing the added value of pesticide products, transforming the current situation of exporting large quantities of original drugs, and being at the low end of the pesticide international manufacturing chain, promoting Simultaneous growth in product quality and benefits.
In today's global economic integration, how to increase the international competitiveness of China's pesticides, the author has the following recommendations: 1. Form a leading company with international competitiveness. Cross-regional resource integration can be carried out, and through mergers and reorganizations, large-scale pesticide companies with sales revenues of over 10 billion yuan can be formed. These enterprises should have the following characteristics: 1 The product structure is good, and more efficient varieties replace old varieties each year. 2 It has international-level pesticide analysis, quality inspection, bioassay, toxicology, residue scientific research institutions or laboratories. 3 Have technical advantages and independent innovation capabilities. 4 Have good domestic and foreign market development capabilities. 2. Change the profit model. From the perspective of the development of the international pesticide industry, the profits of the industry are shifting from making original drugs to finished products and sales channels. With the same 1 ton of glyphosate herbicide, domestic enterprises can only obtain sales revenue of 90,000 yuan and gross profit of less than 20,000 yuan in the form of original drugs, while some companies in the international market sell various concentrations of preparations and dilute aids. Agent and application equipment to get several times or even 10 times more sales revenue and gross profit. Most of the domestic large-scale pesticide companies still remain at the level of chemical manufacturers. Changing the profit model is the key to increasing industry concentration and comprehensive competitiveness. 3. Establish an international brand. Most companies in China are engaged in the simple international trade of “buying and sellingâ€, and the overall price of exported pesticides has always remained close to the cost. The profits that Chinese pesticide brand values ​​should bring are lost. China's pesticide companies must seize a place in the international market and urgently need to create a group of international brands that are well-known and hard-working to increase the international competitiveness of China's pesticide products.
In 2007, China’s total pesticide production was 1.731 million tons (100%), imports 41,000 tons, and exports 477,000 tons. It has become the world’s largest pesticide manufacturing and sales country, and has grown from a pesticide-importing country into a pesticide exporter. Big country. In 2007, China exported a total of 477,000 tons of pesticide, worth US$1.35 billion, an increase of 29.8% over the previous year, but the average unit price rose by only 8.3%, reflecting the low added value of China's exports of pesticides and its international competitiveness at a disadvantage.
