The structure of the pesticide industry has entered a stage of rapid adjustment

The reform of the agricultural supply side puts forward new requirements for the production methods and product structure of pesticide products
.
Over the past two years or so, the overall profit of the pesticide industry has declined, prompting a group of companies to accelerate the transformation of pesticide production methods, focusing on technological innovation and clean production, and adopting a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly development model
.
From the second half of 2016, the pesticide industry began to recover.
The performance report for the first quarter of 2017 showed that the profits of 10 listed pesticide companies such as Huifeng, Red Sun, Sanonda, etc.
have achieved year-on-year growth, and some of them even exceeded 100%
.
Jiangsu Province is a major producer and consumer of pesticides in China, and its industrial status is very important
.
In recent years, Jiangsu's pesticide industry has increased its industrial structure adjustment, vigorously promoted the development of pesticide products and production processes in an environmentally friendly direction, accelerated the concentration of pesticide companies in chemical parks, increased industrial concentration, and reduced point source pollution
.
Identify focus points and actively carry out transformation and upgrading.
At present, some established pesticide companies are also accelerating the pace of transformation
.
In the past, Jiangsu Good Harvest, which has been positioned as a "high-end glyphosate producer", realized that the company's product structure was single and it was increasingly difficult to survive, especially for glyphosate companies.
Under the background of overcapacity and stricter environmental protection, production costs were Environmental protection costs have increased, and market growth has been limited
.
Therefore, while insisting on making new formulations of glyphosate, Good Harvest has completed its layout in the fields of biological fertilizers, biological pesticides, and soil remediation by relying on strong scientific research capabilities, and has gradually formed a distinctive agricultural industrialization development model
.
Similarly, in order to improve the crop package solution and transform from product to service, Jiangsu Longdeng established Kunshan Longzhixiang Intelligent Technology Co.
, Ltd.
in 2016, officially entered the field of flying defense, and began to develop into precision agriculture and smart agriculture
.
Not only that, Jiangsu Longdeng is also vigorously exploring the fields of pesticides and special fertilizers, and is committed to providing farmers with more efficient, green and safe products and services
.
Increase investment in environmental protection governance and overall relocation.
Recently, national environmental protection inspections have become more and more stringent, and pesticide companies are feeling pressure
.
According to an executive from Jiangsu Good Harvest, the company pays special attention to environmental protection.
The post-treatment facilities for environmental protection occupies an area of ​​100 acres, the annual operating cost is as high as 80 million yuan, and the cumulative environmental protection fund investment reaches 300 million yuan
.
Moreover, Good Harvest is the first company to successfully reuse the "three wastes" with membrane treatment technology, which not only reduces the pressure on environmental protection, realizes cleaner production, but also creates benefits
.
At present, the human resources invested by Good Harvest in environmental protection have exceeded the company's product research and development personnel
.
Jiangshan shares have also invested a lot of energy in environmental protection
.
"The biggest result of the overall relocation of Jiangshan shares is the improvement of environmental protection .
" Song Jinhua, deputy general manager of Jiangshan shares, said that during the relocation process, environmental protection is the primary supporting project for the construction of the new district
.
At present, Jiangshan Co.
, Ltd.
has built complete "three wastes" treatment facilities, including incinerators, phosphorus removal devices, and biochemical devices.
The total investment in relocation is 3 billion yuan, and the total investment in environmental protection alone exceeds 500 million yuan
.
Among them, the biochemical daily treatment of 25,000 tons of wastewater, the daily treatment of 1,000 tons of solid waste in the incinerator, and the total phosphorus discharged from the wastewater is less than 8ppm, and the annual environmental protection operating cost exceeds 100 million yuan
.
There are 119 companies in the Dongyangkou Chemical Industrial Park in Rudong County, 33 listed companies, and 3 of the world's top 500 companies (BASF, SK Korea, and Sinochem)
.
At present, the park is positioned as a fine chemical industry, with pesticide companies occupying a large share
.
The park is also equipped with three waste treatment equipment to ensure the safety and environmental protection of the park
.
"Do a good job of safety and environmental protection.
Enterprises in the park will not stop production due to environmental issues, and the companies are also very cooperative and support the park's strict safety and environmental protection policies
.
" Fan Yusong, member of the Party Working Committee of the Rudong Coastal Economic Development Zone in Jiangsu Province, said that the production of chemical products is inseparable.
Safety and environmental protection should be given top priority
.
Driven by stricter environmental protection management and market competition pressure, the unfair status quo of competition caused by differences in environmental protection investment will not last long
.
From the state shutting down and punishing a series of illegal pesticide companies, to the detailed regulations on pesticide production and pesticide supervision in the new "Pesticide Management Regulations", it is enough to show the determination of government departments in pesticide production safety management.

.
Under the high pressure of environmental protection, if agrochemical companies do not choose to self-optimize and regulate production, they will undoubtedly perish themselves
.
In addition, competition in the pesticide market has increased, and most small companies are struggling to die.
The dual pressures of environmental protection and the market have prompted most companies to choose to reorganize and merge, and the industry reshuffle is accelerating
.
Driven by the pressure of environmental protection, coupled with the survival of the fittest in the market, standardized companies will become stronger and larger, while non-regulated companies will be the end
