Launches technological transformation project to produce 700 tonne per annum of emamectin benzoate TC pesticide
China’s Veyong Bio-chemical has planned to launch an expansion and technological transformation project to increase its capacity for emamectin benzoate TC to 500 t/a and that for pymetrozine TC to 700 t/a. The two TC products are the company’s leading products.
Emamectin benzoate is a non-persistent high-efficacy novel insecticide and semi-synthetic antibiotic with low toxicity and small residue. Synthesised from abamectin TC, it is widely used in the control of pests on vegetables, fruit trees, cotton, etc.; it can, in particular, effectively control Spodoptera frugiperda. Currently, in China, emamectin benzoate is not only one of the leading insecticides consumed in domestic market, but also one of the main insecticides exported.
Company decided to build the capacity expansion and technological transformation project for emamectin benzoate TC and pymetrozine TC, which will expand its emamectin benzoate TC capacity from existing 300 t/a to 500 t/a and pymetrozine TC from 500 t/a to 700 t/a. Meanwhile, the company has also planned a 1,000 t/a glufosinate-ammonium and 10,000 t/a glufosinate-p project. For both projects, Veyong Bio-chemical has acquired recordation certificates.
Veyong Bio-chemical, with 60 plus years of experience in pesticide production and business, is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Limin Group Co., Ltd. Its production plant is located in the Shijiazhuang Circular Chemical Industrial Park, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province. Aside from production lines for emamectin benzoate TC and pymetrozine TC, it has active production capacity for glufosinate-ammonium TC, azoxystrobin TC, fosthiazate TC, dinotefuran TC, clothianidin TC, diflubenzuron TC, hexaflumuron TC and a series of pesticide formulations.
In China’s pesticide industry in recent years as many quality pesticide enterprises have seized up opportunities in the market by technological upgrade and capacity expansion. Industry is also getting rid of a large quantity of backward and unqualified capacity under the pressures of supply side reform, increasingly higher standards on environmental protection and workplace safety, and more. Overall competitive landscape in China’s pesticide industry has been profoundly affected and restructured.
