According to Fungicide China News 1311, in H1 2013, the total export volume of captan
technical and formulations in China witnessed an increase of 54.36% year on year to about 742
tonnes, according to the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China
(China Customs) and CCM.
In detail, China's export volume of captan technical was 327.25 tonnes in H1 2013, down by
28.78% over the same period last year. However, the soaring export of captan formulations this
year offset the decline of captan technical. In H1 2013, China's export volume of captan
formulations hit 414.88 tonnes, while China only exported 21.25 tonnes of captan formulations
in H1 2012.
The specifications of captan technical exported in H1 2013 included 92% captan technical, 95%
captan technical and 97% captan technical. Of the three specifications of captan technical, the
export volume of 95% captan technical was much larger than the others, reaching about 187.25
tonnes and accounting for 57.22% of the total export volume of captan technical.
The specifications of captan formulations exported in H1 2013 included 50% captan WP and 80%
captan WDG. In the same period last year, China exported no captan WDG. However, captan
WDG has become a major specification for captan formulations exported this year.
In 2012, China's export volume of captan technical and formulations were 888 tonnes and 322
tonnes respectively.
The export price of captan technical was USD5.56/kg in H1 2013, higher than that of
USD5.29/kg in H1 2012. As the largest exported specification of captan technical, the export
price of 95% captan technical hit USD6.95/kg in Feb. 2013, but it witnessed some decrease in
the following months.
The export price of captan formulations was USD6.27/kg in H1 2013, much higher than the
USD4.71/kg in H1 2012, mainly boosted by the large export volume of 80% captan WDG (its
price was higher than 50% captan WP). The export price of 80% captan WDG remained at
USD7.5/kg in early 2013, but it declined to USD5.8/kg in June. The export price of 50% captan
WP remained in an uptrend during the first five months of this year and hit USD5.2/kg in May,
but it declined to USD4.2/kg in June.
