Thanks for that correction AJH



  Pesticide mainly consists of three categories: herbicide, insecticide and
bactericide. In China, the most general pesticide we currently use is
insecticide which occupies nearly 50% of the total use in pesticide. That
totally differs from the international situation that the herbicide's use
occupies 48% of the total and the insecticide 25%. With the
internationalization of the production and sales of pesticide and domestic
improvement on pesticide structure, herbicide will have more development
space and develop more rapidly.

Glyphosate is a kind of highly effective broad spectrum herbicide with the
characteristics of broad spectrum, low toxicity and no residue. It is the
best selling herbicide around the world. No matter crop or weed, generally,
all green plants can be ruined after we spray Glyphosate over them.

Glyphosate is mainly sold to United States of America, European Union,
Argentina and other countries and areas. The consumption of Glyphosate in
big agricultural countries such as China and India is small and has huge
growth potential.

Glyphosate occupies more than 30% of the herbicide sales volume all around
the world and has the trend of continuous increase. Recently, the market
demand of Glyphosate increases rapidly, with the growth rate of
approximately 15-20% each year.

Due to the fast growth in the demand and the biggest Glyphosate manufacturer
of Mengshan shutting down part of the production capacity, Glyphosate is in
short supply. The price rises accordingly.

According to the data of National Bureau of Statistics, General
Administration of Customs, and related listed companies, this report makes a
research on the status quo, supply and demand, production technique as well
as key companies of China Glyphocate industries. It also contrasts the costs
of Glyphosate by different production technique and analyzes the fluctuation
risk of the raw materials made by different production lines.
