China’s Ministry of Commerce is conducting an anti-dumping investigation targeting metaphenoxy benzaldehyde (MPB) imports from India, according to an article by intelligence and analysis provider 分析.
China’s Weifang Runnong Chemical claims that India exported MPB at a lower price than the normal value, which has led to continuous price decreases in China’s domestic market. The company has been responsible for a large share of China’s MPB output, which justifies the application for the anti-dumping investigations, according to the article. Weifang Runnong’s share of China’s total output of MPB climbed from 35.8% to 59.16% from 2013 to 2016.
除潍坊润农外，江苏扬农、湖北启农、山东五成是中国MPB市场的龙头企业。据公司称，印度的廉价出口导致MPB的销售价格从2013年到2016年不断下降。在那段时间里，价格每吨下降了近$1,000。
“In this context, the top producer Weifang Runnong has suffered continual loss, negative cash flows, and falling operating rates, as workers for its MPB production line decreased by around 50% from 2013 to 2016. Hubei Qinong and Wucheng Yinuo even suspended production respectively in 2013 and 2015,” Tranalysis said, adding: “If the anti-dumping duty on the imports from India are confirmed by the MOC, the domestic price is very likely to rise again, due to the higher production costs for pyrethroids.”
MPB属于中华人民共和国进出口税则，税则号为29124990。调查应在2018年6月8日前结束，部分案件可延长至2018年12月8日。
间苯氧基苯甲醛用于合成氯氟氰菊酯、氯氰菊酯、β-氯氰菊酯等拟除虫菊酯的原料。合成产品用于制造拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂及其他农药制剂。中国对MPB的需求从2013年开始持续增长，2013-2016年国内消费量增长37.84%，目前印度产MPB占据领先地位在国内市场，Tranalysis 说。
