The strength of the crop input industry and the stability of a region’s food supply go hand in hand. For a developing country like South Africa, the connection between the two is apparent.
这种关系处于南非德班农用化学品国际贸易峰会的最前沿，作物投入的买卖双方联合起来加强价值链。 5 月 6 日至 8 日，来自 20 多个国家/地区的 200 多名代表齐聚 Southern Sun Elangeni Hotel，以建立关系、开展业务交易并直接从源头了解有关到 2020 年将翻一番的市场的事实。
CropLife South Africa’s President, Kobus Steenekamp, delivered the statistics for sales and usage trends in South Africa. Stating that the pesticide industry in the nation was valued at $400 million in 2011, he alluded to the massive potential for growth in the region. The major contributors to the bottom line of the industry were also listed. Herbicides, the most profitable crop input, are led in value by glyphosate, metolachlor 960 and a metolachlor and triazine mix. Fungicides at the top of the market included mancozeb, epoxiconazole and azocystrobin. The major players in the insecticide market are fenamiphos, oxamyl 310 and clorpyrifos.
该国最有价值的农作物对于任何希望调整其产品组合的公司来说也非常重要。 Steenekamp 提供了 2011 年按作物和类别划分的价值统计数据，将夏粮列为作物投入行业最赚钱的行业，其次是落叶水果和蔬菜。
Steenekamp 还警告该行业在南非面临的挑战。引用疲软的货币（南非兰特 9:1 美元）以及欧洲新烟碱类禁令和区域草甘膦耐药性问题引起的潜在成长痛苦，与会者全面了解了进入市场时的预期情况。
Between sessions, the exhibition floor packed with industry professionals from around the world. Rjesh Agarwal, executive director of KRISHI RASAYAN EXPORTS said, “The clarity about the actual size of the South African market was important as there have been a lot of rumors. In addition, the information on the herbicide market was good.”
