ECs and WPs account for high percent of pesticide formulation types in China.  Development of environment-friendly formulations, such as, SCs, WDGs, EWs and ODs is not progressing as fast as expected. In recent years, the Chinese authority for pesticide management has announced a series of new regulations (e.g. limits on hazardous solvents in EC formulations, termination of Paraquat SL production, replacement of high toxic pesticides) and to control VOCs and continually improve HSE.  The scale on which China manufacturing facilities is also increasing, with the drive towards targeted innovation and elevation of China's formulation of pesticides. In addition, Chinese farmers are also in need of one effective stewardship program to ensure safe and scientific use of pesticides. Such changes bring significant challenges to the industry. This presentation will focus on the development of China's pesticide industry and the need to leverage advanced technology and experience.
