Glyphosate is the most significant product in China's pesticide industry, generating approximately $150 million in annual revenue. Zhejiang Xin'an Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. stands as the leading producer and exporter of glyphosate within the country. However, this sector has faced numerous challenges, particularly from international trade barriers.
Since 1995, major domestic producers like Xin'an Chemical have been repeatedly targeted by anti-dumping, anti-circumvention, and anti-absorption investigations from entities such as the U.S. company Monsanto, the European Union, Argentina, and Australia. As a result, glyphosate has become one of the most heavily scrutinized chemical products in China, facing extensive technical and trade barriers that significantly impact its global trade.
The foreign trade of Chinese chemical products, including glyphosate, has been among the hardest-hit sectors in recent years due to the rising number of anti-dumping measures and technical trade barriers worldwide. These products often rely on cost advantages and labor-intensive production, contributing substantially to China’s trade surplus—accounting for nearly half or more of the total. Products manufactured by "Zhejiang manufacturers," such as pesticides, dyes, textiles, and chemical intermediates, have frequently drawn criticism in foreign markets and have been subject to numerous anti-dumping investigations in the U.S. and EU.
According to Jin Yonghui, deputy director of Zhejiang Province's Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, the province's foreign trade is expected to surpass $70 billion this year, with an average annual growth rate exceeding 30%. Private enterprises play a crucial role in this success, with last year's export value reaching $23.816 billion. By August this year, over 18,800 qualified companies had obtained import and export rights, and almost all large-scale petrochemical firms now possess self-sufficient trading capabilities. This has made private and small-to-medium enterprises the main drivers of Zhejiang's exports, yet it has also posed serious challenges to the stability of the foreign trade environment.
From 2002 to August this year, Zhejiang encountered trade disputes, including anti-dumping, anti-subsidy, safeguard measures, and 337 investigations, filed by 18 countries such as the U.S., EU, Turkey, India, and Australia. A total of 116 cases involved direct financial exposure of about $2.8 billion, representing roughly one-third and one-fourth of the national total. Whether in terms of volume, variety, or scale, Zhejiang leads the nation in international trade friction.
To address these issues and promote a fairer international trade environment, Jin Yonghui officially announced on September 26 that the "Administrative Measures on Anti-Dumping Exports of Zhejiang Province" was included in the 2005 government regulations. Zhejiang also became the first province to establish a dedicated fair trade agency to guide responses to international trade disputes. The province also launched a training program for anti-dumping legal professionals, with the first batch of courses successfully held in Hangzhou. This marks Zhejiang as the first province to actively implement local legislation against dumping and promote standardized management of trade data.
In addition, Zhejiang is focusing on key export markets in Europe and the U.S., strengthening the dynamic tracking and evaluation of sensitive products. Currently, the province monitors 100 key export items, including chemicals, and 261 sensitive products, setting up information and detection points for enterprises with over $100 million in exports. This helps build and improve early warning systems for foreign trade. At the same time, Zhejiang is working to transform its foreign trade model, accelerate overseas investment, and reduce trade tensions.
