For an enterprise, innovation seeks development, of course, pesticide enterprises are no exception.

China's pesticide industry started in the 1980s. For more than 20 years, most pesticide factories started by repackaging foreign products. In the past 10 years, China's pesticide industry has started to take the road of innovation, from less than 800000 tons in 2002 to more than 1.6 million tons in the first half of 2013. Although the development of China's pesticide industry has made gratifying achievements, the author believes that at present, the industry has entered an era of reform, innovation, transformation and upgrading.

After more than 30 years of development, China's pesticide industry has entered a peak period. In terms of product types, Chinese pesticide enterprises have been able to produce all pesticide technical drugs except for some varieties protected by patents; From the perspective of pesticide preparation level, pesticides manufactured in China are gradually narrowing the gap between China and the world's pesticide powers; From the perspective of marketing level, Chinese-made pesticides have spread all over the world's agrochemical markets and become the mainstream supplier in many markets.

Environmental pollution is currently a major obstacle to the development of the pesticide industry. This year, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology started from the hot glyphosate products in recent years, and promoted environmental protection pilot in the pesticide industry, which was unanimously recognized by the pesticide industry. According to Pesticide Net, at present, 10% of glyphosate production equipment in China is seriously substandard, and the pollution discharge is serious. It is certain that it will be eliminated in this environmental protection inspection. The industry believes that this environmental protection inspection is a big "red envelope" for the regular pesticide production enterprises. Sun Shubao, president of China Pesticide Industry Association, believes that environmental protection inspection is a rectification for glyphosate industry, and also a means to improve glyphosate's current serious overcapacity. In the future, it will be gradually carried out on other products to continuously promote industrial integration, which is also one of the means of industrial merger and reorganization.

In addition to the trend of environmental protection, the current changes in domestic planting patterns, the reduction of corporate credibility, and the unbearable plight of dealers are not conducive to the healthy development of the pesticide industry. At the 6th Pesticide High-level Forum, experts put forward the idea of "reform, innovation and development", pooled their ideas to seek the development way of the future pesticide industry and found some methods: in pesticide management, reform the existing management mode, implement differentiated management for enterprises, and clarify who can sell pesticides; In pesticide management, it is proposed to build an e-commerce platform to gradually replace the traditional sales model; In terms of enterprise services, in view of the current situation that rural cooperatives are gradually expanding and becoming the mainstream trend, we actively advocate that pesticide enterprises directly connect with large farmers and reduce circulation links. Both industry experts and enterprise leaders agree to implement comprehensive reform and innovation in pesticide management and operation to improve the popularity of pesticide enterprises, improve the credibility of the pesticide industry and improve the transparency of pesticide operation.

Inadequate pesticide creation has always been a hard problem for domestic pesticide enterprises, because China's pesticide industry started late, the level of research and development is backward, and there is a gap between scientific research and achievement transformation. China's lack of pesticide innovation capacity has led to many products being expired by foreign enterprises. Many Chinese enterprises are staring at expired patents. Once they wait for expired patents, they will rush in, which is easy to cause overcapacity. On July 16, seven academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences jointly reported to the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the relevant ministries and commissions of the State Council, proposing to strengthen the national pesticide innovation and application. This has undoubtedly given a boost to the creation of pesticides, which has attracted attention from the national level, and will greatly help the rapid and stable development of the entire pesticide industry.

The environmental protection wind of China's pesticide industry can effectively purify the pesticide industry, which is a basic policy. In order to cooperate with the upcoming new pesticide management regulations, new marketing models and the country's guidance on pesticide research and innovation, China's pesticide industry has reached the critical point of innovation.
