Make great efforts to control production capacity, resolutely eliminate obsolete technology, let spitting and rowing become historical, promote clean production in an all-round way, encourage enterprises to become bigger and stronger, and build the glyphosate industry into a green industry that is valued by the country, is at ease with the company, and people are at ease. .

This was a strong voice from experts present at the 2014 (4th) Green Glyphosate Summit held in Nantong, Jiangsu.

China is a major producer of glyphosate, and glyphosate is also the largest exporter of pesticides in China. Exports account for more than 20% of total pesticide exports in China.

The annual global demand for glyphosate is about 800,000 tons, while the total production capacity in China has exceeded 800,000 tons, and the production capacity is seriously in excess. Moreover, it mainly relies on the export of low-value-added raw medicine; the phenomenon of generation processing is extremely serious, and a ton of straw is exported. The phosphonate drug was not replaced by Monsanto's one ton (41% glyphosate isopropylamine salt) formulation.

With high resource consumption, high pollution, and low efficiency, the glyphosate industry has jointly laid a dangerous industrial chain that sacrifices the environment, sacrifices resources, and is not worth the candle. Wang Jianwo, Secretary-General of the Hunan Pesticide Industry Association, was very excited at the meeting and considered the chaos of the glyphosate industry.

Delegates said that in order to control production capacity and eliminate backwardness, the glyphosate industry is in urgent need of reshuffling.

In order to regulate the behavior of the glyphosate industry, the “Sword” action, which focuses on environmental protection verification, began in November 2011. In June 2014, the Ministry of Environmental Protection announced that four companies had passed the first environmental verification. It is understood that the "Bright Sword" action has achieved initial results: it has played a deterrent role in the industry, black industry's illegal activities have converged, and the incidents of stealing and disposing of waste have been significantly reduced. New environmental protection technologies have been better promoted in the industry, especially the level of mother liquor treatment technology has been significantly improved.

However, the China Chemical News reporter learned that although there are obvious improvements in the environmental problems in the industry of China's glyphosate industry, the issue of industrial development has not been completely resolved, the threshold is low, laws and regulations are not completed, resulting in successive companies have announced that they entered the industry or With the new production capacity, the chaotic situation of disorderly competition may continue to be staged.

To this end, industry experts and representatives of glyphosate manufacturing enterprises jointly called for: strengthening the approval of environmental protection access conditions for new construction, expansion, and restoration of glyphosate projects, ensuring that new, expansion, and recovery projects are synchronized to the “Guidance on Environmental Inspection”. Requirements; It is recommended to increase the sampling inspection efforts of companies that have not applied for verification of glyphosate (double-glyphosate) to curb illegal emissions; it is recommended to adopt a unified standard to ensure that environmental protection verification is fair and just. Every company involved in the production of glyphosate is Strictly check, one will not let off.

At the same time, to encourage and strengthen the glyphosate industry, eliminate backward production capacity, and encourage backbone enterprises to become bigger and stronger. Experts have suggested that enterprises that have passed the environmental protection inspection of glyphosate (double-glyphosate) of the Ministry of Environmental Protection should be given a reduction in value-added tax for glyphosate products. The state and local governments should be inclined to these assured enterprises in terms of policies, funds and projects.
