Nizhnekamskneftekhim produced exclusively linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) over the stated period.
Pesticides are the 96th most traded product and the 549th most complex product according to the Product Complexity Index (PCI). Top 5 Exporters of Pesticides Around the Globe (Data Source: OEC) According to statistics from the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC), the top exporters of Pesticides are China, accounting for 15% of total exports around the globe, followed by Germany and France. Top 8 Importers of Pesticides in 2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) Top 7 Destinations of China’s Pesticide Exports in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) Seen from the pesticide export market, the top 7 countries in China's pesticide export market in 2018 were Brazil, Thailand, the United States, Australia, Nigeria, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Currently, Asia, South America and Africa are the main destinations of China’s pesticide exports, and the total amount of pesticides that China exports to these three areas accounts for nearly 65 percent of China’s total pesticide export volume. Southeast Asia and Brazil will continue to be China’s major export market for pesticides due to the high proportion of agriculture, similar to China's crop cultivation and the relatively small market competition. As one of the world’s top consumers of pesticides, Brazil continues to be strongly dependent on pesticides imports, says CropChem, a Brazilian company specialized in formulating and distributing pesticides in the Brazilian market. Export Value of Pesticides From China to Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) According to statistics from ITC, in the past five years, the pesticides import by Brazil from China has shown an increasing path, seeing a sharp rise since 2015. In 2018, the export volume of pesticides by China to Brazil reached 106,794 tons showing a 17% YoY increase with the export value amounting to US $494,158,000. Total Import Value of Pesticides by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) It is shown that, from 2014 to 2016, the pesticides import by Brazil saw a downward path, down by -23% year on year in 2016. However, from 2016 to 2018, it saw an upward path, up by 20% in 2018 compared with that of 2017. Import Weight of Pesticides by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) It is shown that, in 2018, the leading supplier of pesticides to Brazil is China, followed by India, Argentina, USA, and Israel. The pesticides import from China and India showed an upward trend over the last five years, while Brazil is becoming less dependent on pesticides from Argentina. Especially since 2015, Brazil has been greatly dependent on import of pesticides from China. This phenomenon should be maintained, or even amplified. Import Value of Pesticides by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) It is indicated that, though China is the leading supplier for the Brazilian pesticides market over the past five years, USA ranks first in the top five in terms of import value of pesticides in Brazil. However, the import value of pesticides from China and India is seeing an increasing trend during the same period, while the exported value by France to Brazil showed a grim path. Imports of Various Types of Pesticides by Brazil in 2014-2018 Import Value of Rodenticides by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) Since 2017, the imported value of rodenticides by Brazil from Israel is seeing a steep rise and ranked the 1st among the top five export suppliers. Since 2015, the import value of the same product from China is showing a general upward path, while that from the USA is showing a sharp decline from 2015 to 2016, and then a steady weak rise in the past three years. Import Value of Disinfectants by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) It is seen that, in terms of the import value of disinfectants by Brazil in the past five years, China and the USA ranked the top 2, seeing a sharp increasing path especially since 2016. And China outnumbered the USA on the aspect of import value of the disinfectants in 2018. Import Value of Herbicides by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) Apparently, China and the USA are the top two leading suppliers of herbicides to Brazil from 2014 to 2018. The herbicides imported from China from 2015 to 2018 have seen a sharp rise and has become the champion in the herbicides import market in Brazil since 2016. Import Value of Fungicides by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) France is the top supplier of fungicides in the Brazil market, and the fungicides import value from France is much higher above others despite of a sharp decline since 2015. Import Value of Insecticides by Brazil in 2014-2018 (Data Source: ITC TRADE MAP) In spite of a steep decrease from 2014 to 2017, the USA still won the Brazilian insecticides import market, and saw a weak increase since 2017. Given that Brazil has emerged as the world's biggest consumer of pesticides owing to the widespread applications in agriculture, an important industry in Brazil, China, as one of the top producers of pesticides, could easily make a way into the Brazilian agrochemical market with the collaboration of OKCHEM, the most professional and leading B2B platform of chemicals.

Dow Chemical and Vietnamese industrial park developer Deep C have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to build the first road using recycled plastics at the Deep C Industrial Complex in Haiphong City in Vietnam. The project aims to divert post-use flexible packaging from becoming litter or entering a landfill, while also creating more durable, longer-lasting roads. Deep C was founded in 1997 by Belgian (Rent-A-Port, Ackermans-Van Haaren) and Vietnamese (Hai Phong People’s Committee) shareholders and is one of the leading industrial park developers in Vietnam with over 3000 Ha of land and ready-built-factories for lease in Haiphong and Quang Ninh Province. A first 1-kilometer segment, to be completed in September 2019, will divert nearly 4 tonnes of flexible packaging – the equivalent of roughly one million flexible wrappers – which will be supplied by Dow customers in the surrounding areas. Upon completion, the new road will be tested by the Vietnam Maritime University prior to expanding the project throughout the complex. “Dow has a strong commitment to ending plastic waste, in part by finding innovative ways to transform plastic waste into new products,” said Ekkasit Lakkananithiphan, general director of Dow Vietnam. “We [have] developed more than 90 kilometers of asphalt roads containing plastic waste in India, Indonesia, Thailand and the US, which provides us with foundational knowledge that we can apply for this project in Vietnam.” Advancing a circular economy was identified as one of Dow’s 2025 Sustainability Goals in 2015. Roads developed with recycled plastic demonstrates that plastic waste can be a valuable renewable resource and contribute toward a plastics circular economy. The plastic waste used in the project is mostly post-consumer flexible packaging, such as polyethylene film. After cleaning, drying and shredding the material, the plastic is mixed with the asphalt at a temperature around 150-180°C. At this temperature, the plastic is completely melted and bonded with asphalt resulting in longer lasting, more durable roads. Roads enhanced with recycled plastics also have the potential to lower greenhouse gas emissions by replacing part of the bitumen needed in the asphalt. “Deep C pioneers in building and converting industrial zones into eco-industrial parks,” said Mr. Do Quang Hung, first deputy general director of Deep C HP I & III/Dinh Vu Industrial Zone JSC. “One of the main goals under the eco-park initiative is promoting industrial symbiosis to mitigate and decrease industrial waste.” The project will engage local governments, waste collectors and the plastic industry value chain to tackle the marine debris and plastic waste issue in Vietnam and to develop better end markets for plastic waste. This cross-industry collaboration shows the commitments each organization has to advancing a circular economy and reducing the amount of waste in the environment. “[The] Circular economy has been known as a solution for an eco-friendly, durable and sustainable prosperity,” said. Nguyen Quang Vinh, secretary general of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry cum vice-chairman of the Vietnam Business Council for Sustainable Development (VCCI-VBCSD). “As it is one among our priorities to realize the Sustainable Development Goals at VCCI-VBCSD, we highly appreciate this initiative of Dow as a strong contribution in reducing plastic waste and furthermore, in transforming the urban mobility in Vietnam.” Vietnam is currently one of the leading global generators of plastic waste, with urban areas like Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City seeing an estimated 80 tonnes of plastic waste entering the environment as litter every day.

To solve the problem of low rubber prices, the three major rubber exporting countries are ready to continue measures to limit rubber exports to 240,000 tonnes. The Board of Directors of the International Rubber Joint Venture Co., Ltd., which consists of representatives of Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, have convened a joint meeting in Bangkok to discuss many issues including the sixth initiative on export volume restrictions. The three member states have agreed to enforce export controls under the rules and regulations of each country for four months starting from April 1, 2019. The three countries will jointly limit the level of rubber exports to 240,000 tons in total. The meeting also considered an analysis of the rubber statistics of the three member countries of the International Tripartite Rubber Council: ITRC, which found that rubber production data that has been collated from many sources in the past is not consistent. Therefore, the meeting has confirmed rubber production data for 2018 as follows: Thailand produced 4.879 million tons of rubber, while Indonesia produced 3.63 million tons of rubber and Malaysia produced 603,000 tons of rubber.
Last week, OKCHEM team in Vietnam had a face to face conversation with Mr. Chinh, Vice President of Vietnam Pharmaceutical Companies Association, in order to explore pharmaceutical market in Vietnam and help suppliers on www.okchem.com expand business in Vietnam. Vietnam Pharmaceutical Companies Association (VNPCA) is a collective organization which plays a very important role in Vietnam’s pharmaceutical industry. After more than 16 years of operation, the association has gathered more than 170 leading pharmaceutical companies in Vietnam. According to Mr.Chinh, it’s impossible for foreign companies to enter the Vietnam pharmaceutical market directly under current laws and policies, but this market still attracts investor from all over the world with its great profit and potential. Vietnam is the fastest growing pharmaceutical market in Asia, with almost 99.9% of their APIs depending on imports. And China is the largest pharmaceutical raw materials supplier to this country. Mr.Chinh is very willing to share the market information of Vietnamese pharmaceutical with us and offered us a member directory of VNPCA. After this visit, we will also keep contact with VNPCA and invite Mr.Chinh to attend API event in Hangzhou. In order to better connect the buyers and suppliers in Vietnam and China, OKCHEM team in Vietnam will spare no efforts to cooperate with quality partners in different sectors of the chemical industry to explore business opportunities for the OKCHEM members.
