Pesticides have been playing an important role in agricultural production in China. In the recent two decades, the pesticide industry in China keeps developing rapidly. Specifically, the output of domestic pesticides in 2012 increased by more than 97.1%% compared with 2007, while their varieties have increased by several times as well, which makes China a major supplier of pesticides in the world. In detail, the output of Chinese pesticides reached 1.73 million tonnes (calculated by 100% technical) in 2007, ranking the first in the world.
In 2012, China's pesticide output hit a record high of 3.4 million tonnes (calculated by 100% technical). What's more, China can produce more than 350 varieties of pesticides, among which around 200 are produced widely.
During 2007–2012, the consumption of pesticides has gradually increased, driven by the rising planting area of main crops. Along with the acceleration of urbanization in China, the demand for agricultural products will rise, and the consumption of pesticides in agricultural field will also increase accordingly.
Nowadays, China is not only a pesticide producer guaranteeing its own agricultural production, but also an important pesticide exporter. In 2012, about 1.61 million tonnes (calculated by 100% technical) of its pesticides are exported to all over the world.
