Here is the Editor's Note for you to know about the May issue specifically:

In May, major insecticides TC had mixed price trends in China. On average, MoM price change of these products was a positive 1.03%. Some products had price increases due to relatively tight supply caused by restricted operation in producers. Particularly, the surge of cypermethrin TC price was the result of small supply in domestic market since imports from India decreased. For major insecticide raw materials, some had limited supply in the market since producers kept low operating rates or suspended their lines, which drove up product price and thus offered stronger support to the price of some insecticides TC.

This month, the majority of Chinese insecticide TC producers kept their operating rates at a relatively low level, but the overall operating rate edged up on a monthly basis. Some products were in tight supply because of low-level operation, small inventories in the market and producers' efforts to prop the price up. As regards company dynamics, ABACHEM announced that it would put an end to the 'Binhai base new production lines construction program' undertaken by its subsidiary Jiangsu Jiannong; Sino-Agri Union revealed that the 5,000 t/a acetamiprid TC lines in its subsidiary had been put into trial run.

China's third-round second-batch central inspection on eco-environmental protection started in full swing in early May. The inspection focuses on implementation and enforcement of the central government rules and regulations on environmental protection.

Regarding registration, list of this year's 4th-batch pesticide products to be approved of registration was released by ICAMA, which include 108 insecticide products. The majority of these insecticide products are of low toxicity and the most popular form is SC.

Regarding pests, so far in Q2 2024, the two major migratory pests on rice have come early, extensively and in large quantities, according to the Pest Forecasting Division.

China Customs statistics show that in April 2024, export volume and value of insecticide formulations from China grew by over 20% and nearly 14% YoY, respectively. The average export price dropped by some 6% YoY.
