In 2011, China’s pesticide industry maintained a steady growth in face of dramatic price rise for raw materials, the appreciation of RMB and rising labor costs. Among them, pesticide production has maintained double-digit growth, with an increase of 21.4%, which is higher than the average level of China’s industrial economic development; Sales grew by 28.5%, the growth is higher compared with the output growth; Export rose by 29.9%， while export value climbed up 36.4% due to the higher export price; the growth of  import price is rapid than that of import volume; Total profit grew by 21.4% to Yuan 12.6 billion, its growth is roughly similar compared with output growth; however, the margin is still very low, only 5.1%; The export of formulations is greater than the technicals for the first time. In this situation, larger domestic companies did well. In term of statistics and analysis, CCPIA issued the list of 2011 Top 100 pesticide companies.
