Production and Market of Oxadiazon in China

As a selective and contact toxicity herbicide, oxadiazon is generally used as pre-seedling herbicide mainly in soil treatment. At present, China is the only supplier of oxadiazon technical in the world. The supply and price of Chinese oxadiazon have great impacts on the global market. Every year, over 70% of oxadiazon produced in China is exported to overseas countries. Domestic demand for oxadiazon is small. How is the domestic consumption of oxadiazon in China? What are the influencing factors?

The basic data related to import/export, output, capacity, consumption, demand, etc. are presented and the active manufacturer profiles are also included in the report.

This report also answers the following questions:
What's the registration situation of oxadiazon in China?
What are the changes of Chinese oxadiazon industry in recent years?
How is the import and export of oxadiazon in China? What are the major destination countries of Chinese oxadiazon?

The price of oxadiazon increases sharply, and the product is of short supply in China in 2008. What factors have caused the situation? It will be explained in the report.
