my country's pesticide exports tend to increase in the proportion of high value-added preparations year after year

In 2015, China's pesticide imports and exports both fell for the first time, and exports fell sharply
.
Although exports have decreased, the reduction is more due to the export of low-value-added and highly polluting technical medicines.
The proportion of exports of high-value-added preparations has increased year by year in recent years
.
This trend shows that domestic pesticide companies are committed to the export of high value-added preparation products and the development of international terminal markets
.
This is what the reporter learned from the second herbicide development and promotion application exchange meeting held last week
.
Cao Bingwei, a senior agronomist from the International Exchange and Service Division of the Institute of Pesticide Control, Ministry of Agriculture, believes that if China's pesticides are to have a greater influence in the global market, they must realize the transformation and upgrading from the export of raw medicines to the export of preparations.
, Can not be willing to play the role of "technical drug OEM" in the international pesticide trade chain
.
Cao Bingwei told reporters that China has the world's largest pesticide production capacity and has become a major producer and exporter of pesticides in the world
.
In 2014, China's pesticide production was 3.
744 million tons, and the export volume was 1.
642 million tons.
Nearly half of domestic pesticides were exported
.
However, in 2015, both imports and exports fell for the first time, and exports fell sharply
.
Statistics from the Pesticide Inspection Institute of the Ministry of Agriculture show that in 2015, China's total pesticide exports were 1.
509 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 8.
06%; the export value was US$7.
283 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 16.
87%; the import volume in 2015 was 57,606 tons, a decrease of 14.
21 %, the import value was 67846 million U.
S.
dollars, a decrease of 8.
88%
.
Although China's pesticide imports and exports have both dropped for the first time, from the statistics of China's pesticide import and export data in recent years, there has been a welcome trend, that is, the proportion of China's pesticide technical exports has been declining year by year
.
It is understood that starting from 2013, while the export volume of domestic technical materials has decreased, its share in total pesticide exports has increased from 38.
8% in 2013, to 37.
57% in 2014, and up to 36.
15% in 2015
.
Compared with the original drug, the proportion of pesticide preparation exports is increasing year by year
.
Statistics show that in 2013, domestic exports of pesticide formulations accounted for 61.
2% of total pesticide exports; in 2015, this value rose to 63.
85%
.
In an interview with reporters, Gu Xudong, director of the Pesticide Market Information Center of the China Pesticide Industry Association, said that at present, most of the domestic raw drug manufacturers play the role of "founders" in the international pesticide trade chain, positioning them in the lowest value manufacturing link.
The development of foreign enterprises has provided high-quality and low-cost raw materials, while the export of high-value-added preparation products has always been at a disadvantage
.
He believes that as a deep-processed product of the original drug, pesticide preparations have less pollution in the production process, have higher technical content and added value, and are the best weapon to seize the international terminal market
.
Therefore, expanding the export volume of pesticide preparations will help promote pesticide companies to enter the international high-end market and promote the healthy development of China's pesticide industry
