DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c29292) has announced the addition of China Farm Chemicals Market Review & Outlook 2004-2005 to their offering

The Chinese market of farm chemicals was stable in 2004, the persistent sluggish situation improved. The State enhanced industrial readjustment, and combated adulterated and shoddy farm chemicals severely. The production of farm chemicals kept a positive growing momentum; the key producers saw general improvement. There was a further growth of export of farm chemicals, the oversupply situation changed for the better slightly. It is foreseen the trend of the market of farm chemicals in 2005 shall depend on the following factors:

1. Restructuring of the industry of farm chemicals by the Government. There has always been oversupply of farm chemicals, and the composition of products is not rational, the proportion of high-toxic pesticides is too large. On the other hand, there are too many producers of farm chemicals, and most of them are of low technical level, their products are of low quality and low price, not up to the environmental protection standard and directly leading to vicious market competition. Whether the Government will achieve the objective of restructuring of the industry of farm chemicals will cause a fundamental impact on the market trend.

2. Trend of occurrence of pests and diseases in 2005. Both production and distribution of farm chemicals are affected by natural conditions greatly, especially pesticides and germicides.

3. Impact from raw material supply to production of farm chemicals. The prices of raw materials such as yellow phosphorus rose sharply in 2004, there was even no supply in some places, creating heavy pressure on producers. The price trend of raw materials in 2005 will cause a significant impact on the prices of farm chemicals.

4. Whether farmers shall continue to see rising of income. Farmers' income witnessed a noticeable growth in 2004 thanks to the price hike of grain and the State's supporting policies, yet the driving force for a further growth has weakened remarkably. The growth level of farmers' income will directly affect input of farm chemicals and will play a decisive role in overall application of farm chemicals.

This report has a detailed discussion on the above mentioned factors, and has a relatively systematic analysis on the market trend, Government policies, production, distribution, import and export in 2004, and based on this, there is a forecast for the industrial structural reform, market trend, production, distribution, import and export in 2005.
