Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/1181a2/production_and_mar)
has announced the addition of the "Production and Market of
Chlorpyrifos in China" report to their offering.

   Chlorpyrifos, is a broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide,
which currently has sales volume ranking first in the world. The
effects of chlorpyrifos include: contact killing, stomach poisoning
and certain fumigant killing against many kinds of pests. At present,
Dow Chemical Company is the largest producer of Chlorpyrifos
technical, with a production capacity of 50,000t/a in 2004.

   China started the production of Chlorpyrifos technical in the
1990s. However, before 2007, overseas chlorpyrifos, mostly from Dow's
Chlorpyrifos, had captured a large market share in China for a long
time: over 25% of the total in 2006. Since 2007, the capacity and
output of domestic Chlorpyrifos technical has soared in China, with
its capacity increasing to 51,200t/a in 2008 and its output growing to
14,160 tonnes in 2007.

   Homemade chlorpyrifos has not only replaced imported chlorpyrifos
in the domestic market, but it has also entered the overseas market.
