Industry experts believe that continuously optimizing the industrial layout, focusing on innovation, speeding up the construction of a modern pesticide production system, and establishing new development and production models such as green raw materials, intelligent manufacturing, and improved formulations should become compulsory courses for pesticide companies moving to the west

.
Hunan Province, Gansu Province, and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region have effectively released new production capacity, and their output increased by 30.
4%, 130.

.
" According to statistics from the association, pesticide companies have invested a total of 85 projects in different places, involving 73 companies (including 25 listed companies), with a total investment of 57.
4 billion yuan
.
Among them, 21 companies have invested more than 1 billion yuan, with an investment of 37.
83 billion yuan, accounting for 66% of the total investment in other places of the company.
The pesticide companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shandong provinces have the most to go out, and most of the projects have been implemented.
Western Region
.
Among the 15 companies that invested in other places in Jiangsu, 4 were built in Gansu, 3 invested in Ningxia, and 2 invested in Inner Mongolia; 5 companies in Zhejiang invested in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Jilin and Sichuan; Shandong invested abroad Among the enterprises, three were built in Inner Mongolia and one was built in Gansu

flonicamid, and fungicides such as azoxystrobin and tebuconazole .
" Li Zhonghua said
.
Sun Shubao, chairman of the China Pesticide Industry Association, pointed out that the westward migration of pesticide companies in the eastern coastal areas has increased the pressure on environmental protection in the west, and the relocation of eastern companies to the west should not be a simple industrial transfer
.
The competition of new technologies such as genetically modified planting technology and the rapid development of smart agriculture have changed the use of pesticides.
All these require the pesticide industry to establish new development and production models such as green raw materials, smart manufacturing, and improved formulations
.
He said that industry associations have the responsibility to work with industry leaders, experts, enterprises and the western region to selectively introduce pesticides with advantages in the industrial chain, raise the safety and environmental protection threshold of local pesticide projects, and promote the growth of the pesticide industry in the Northwest and the whole country.
