Survey of Glufosinate in China
At present, Bayer dominates both technology and market of glufosinate worldwide. Currently it has applied this technology patent in many countries.
In China, although there are many pesticide manufacturers that have registered glufosinate, only one manufacturer has the production technology with self-dominated intellectual property rights and has produced glufosinate commercially.
Owning to Chinese government's restriction on GM crops, as well as its higher price than glyphosate, fifteen times higher as of May 2009, glufosinate industry is expected to develop rather slowly in China in the future 10 years.
What are the aims of this report?
1. To provide you with comprehensive & in-depth understanding on glufosinate industry;
2. To figure out current supply and consumption in China and worldwide;
3. To analyze Bayer’s production situation including its production sites and technology routes, etc.;
4. To identify major domestic supplier of glufosinate, their technology routes and manufacturering cost;
5. To analyze the glufosinate patent;
6. To provide inside look at regulation and registration of glufosinate in China;
7. To know key raw materials of glufosinate in China
8. To analyze glufosinate use in China, including its use patterns, competing crops for each segment and cost of use in hectare, etc.
What can you benefit from the report?
This study will examine Bayer and Chinese glufosinate manufacturers from aspects of supply and consumption, cost & price, raw materials, technology, patent, as well as regulation, registrations, and also summarize a competitive landscape and commercial opportunities, etc.
