Currently avermectin price is around 900 yuan/kg, emamectin benzoate market price has reached 1,450 yuan/kg, from the market trend will have some upside. The reasons mainly in three aspects:
First, avermectin as a biological pesticide, the global sales in 2008 is the largest one in Avi single products, after the five kinds of highly toxic pesticides are disabled, it shows momentum of rapid development, the use amount increasing, become the commonly used variety in China Agriculture medication; Second, because the original abamectin suppliers need to adjust supply and demand, 4-5 days will with the market to adjust price, and the existing avermectin production capacity has not significantly improved; Third, this year's preparations manufacturers demand for larger purchases, compared to 2008, due to pesticides biological pest resistance produce faster than chemical pesticides, plus with farmers unscientific medication, resulting in pests avermectin resistance continue to increase, in this year the market avermectin and emamectin benzoate formulation will be with high content.
In addition, because the promotion need of rice, cotton, and some economic crops this year, many abamectin manufacturers registered the applications range of avermectin and emamectin in the rice leafroller moth, cruciferous diamondback moth, beet armyworm, cotton bollworm and other, promote the avermectin and emamectin benzoate market demand increasing, prices rose significantly. From the time point of view, in the past year avermectin and emamectin benzoate market launch in April and May, and this year, as soon as the Spring Festival past, the price of avermectin show a clear upward trend.
With peak season demand for pesticides coming, avermectin production capacity is currently unable to meet demand, stimulating abamectin flour prices rising, also pushed up the cost of emamectin benzoate production. At present, abamectin powder's price is 900 yuan/kg, the cost of emamectin benzoate reached 1,600 yuan/kg. However, emamectin benzoate prices still stable, because part of avermectin flour that factory's early days storage is not digested.
After five kinds of highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides delisting, it was freeing a huge market space. Emamectin benzoate as an efficient, low toxicity, pollution-free, low-residue, green, environment-friendly bio-insecticide, from the cabbage, Chinese cabbage, radishes and other vegetables diamondback moth control gradually extended to soybean, cotton, fruit trees and other crops, last year extended to rice, wheat and other field crops, which is displayed the activity on crop's prevention and control that other pesticides unmatched. With the development of green food production, the development potential of bio-pesticides will further increase, experts predict that in 21st century biological pesticide emamectin benzoate will account for insecticide's leading role.
It is understood that, with the expansion of some emamectin benzoate manufacturers in 2009, Chinese emamectin benzoate production capacity has been increased to 500 tons, the market demand is about 500 to 600 tons. Therefore, the avermectin flour demand has exceeded previous years, has gradually begun to outstrip supply, it expects the price of avermectin flour may be flat with avermectin ointment in this year.
