"China in 2009 has posted new record of glyphosate technical capacity of 655,400t/a and 190,000t/a for PMIDA, an eye-catching climb over that in 2008, respectively 485,400t/a and 172,200t/a. Capacity expansion has further strengthened China’s dominating position in global technical supply, accounting for around 70% of the world total at present. However, China now remains at the low end of the global glyphosate value chain, as a technical supplier, due to its ineffective formulation production technology, weak sales channel and unaccessible registration in international market. Things might change in the future, and China’s influence and importance in global glyphosate formulation market is expected to increase in the near future. Climbing export volume of glyphosate formulation from China might be a clear signal of this trend----- H1 2009 witnessed 20,000 tonnes increased export volume of Chinese glyphosate formulation, compared with the same period of last year, a 20% increase. Among the increased volume, about 97% is exported to U.S., the base of Monsanto.

supplier, due to its ineffective formulation production technology, weak sales channel and unaccessible
registration in international market. Things might change in the future, and China’s influence and
importance in global glyphosate formulation market is expected to increase in the near future. Climbing
export volume of glyphosate formulation from China might be a clear signal of this trend----- H1 2009
witnessed 20,000 tonnes increased export volume of Chinese glyphosate formulation, compared with
the same period of last year, a 20% increase. Among the increased volume, about 97% is exported to
U.S., the base of Monsanto.
Given China’s glyphosate changing trend in 2008-2009, both domestic and overseas glyphosate
enterprises should pay close attention to existing and potential competitors in China, especially their
technology improvement, production cost and market activities, etc., in order to better seize business
opportunities.
