2025 marks the 40th anniversary of our factory’s establishment
Since obtaining export qualifications in 2006, our factory has primarily engaged in the production and export of technical materials for Brodifacoum and Bromadiolone. Over the past two decades, both domestic and international industry regulations have undergone significant changes. Internationally, the most notable changes include the European Union’s replacement of the Biocidal Products Directive (BPD) with the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) in 2013, followed by the implementation of the Classification, Labelling, and Packaging of Chemicals Regulation (CLP).
Major changes in China include: the promulgation of the National Industrial Policy in 2005; the formal implementation of the national standard (GB) for Bromadiolone and Brodifacoum in 2007; and the establishment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in 2008. These reforms and regulations eliminated three manufacturers, resulting in the reduction of China’s original five producers of technical rodenticides to just two.
China underwent institutional reforms in 2018, which also led to changes in the regulatory authorities overseeing the rodenticide industry. Currently, the administrative departments previously responsible for “technical rodenticides” have been consolidated from multiple ministries and commissions – namely the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA); the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC); the Ministry of Public Security (MPS); the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ); the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT); and the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) – into three primary departments: the Ministry of Public Security (MPS); the Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM); and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA).
Therefore, the factory has invested substantial funds and significant effort over the past few decades to address these challenges. Concurrently, due to years of sustained operational losses and accumulated inventory backlog, we formally initiated a sales strategy adjustment in 2023. This involved transferring all inventory to the domestic market through an acquisition project to resolve the long-standing stockpile issue. Consequently, since 2023, we have ceased accepting export orders for technical Bromadiolone and Brodifacoum, and we no longer respond to inquiries from new customers. We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause.
Over the past decade or so, the main changes in the factory have been as follows:
- Since 2013, we have officially abandoned the “pesticide production license for Brodifacoum 0.005% RB” issued by Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) (in fact, we have not produced this product since 2005).
- In 2019, we ceased production and initiated investment in the construction of a new facility. Concurrently, the old plant underwent a series of renovations in compliance with the new Pesticide Law enacted in 2017, successfully obtaining a “Restricted-Pesticide License” issued by the MARA.
- In 2021, the factory ultimately completed its relocation through simplified legal procedures as a non-production project, obtaining a “Hazardous Chemicals Permit” issued by MEM and a updated “Restricted Pesticide Permit” issued by MARA. As a result, the factory has transitioned from a pesticide manufacturer to a trading company solely engaged in the sale of inventory products (Since 2006, the Ministry of Land and Resources (now the Ministry of Natural Resources) has prohibited any new land use for the production of industrial-grade rodenticides.).
- Between 2022 and 2023, we terminated the renewal of all seven pesticide rodenticide registration certificates issued by the Ministry of Agriculture (marking our factory’s complete withdrawal from the Pesticide Industry):
PD2007323 (Brodifacoum 98% TC), – Valid until September 17, 2022,
PD20071101 (Brodifacoum 0.5% TK), – Valid until August 18, 2023,
PD20071102 (Brodifacoum 0.005% RB), – Valid until August 18, 2023,
PD20070322 (Bromadiolone 98% TC), – Valid until September 17, 2022,
PD20081024 (Bromadiolone 0.5% TK), – Valid until August 6, 2022,
PD20081154 (Warfarin 98% TC), – Valid until September 2, 2023,
PD20083600 (Coumatetralyl 97% TC), – Valid until December 12, 2023; - In 2025, the new plant site completed the acceptance inspection of its hypertoxic chemical storage facilities. This was achieved through a joint inspection team from the municipal and county-level public security departments of Suqian City and Siyang County, in accordance with the Ministry of Public Security’s GA 1002-2012 standard.
- Currently held valid licenses:
– “Restricted Pesticide License” by MARA (for “state-designated sales” – restricted Bromadiolone Active Ingredient and Brodifacoum Active Ingredient), ours will expire on September 14, 2026.
– “Hazardous Chemicals License” by MEM, (for “hypertoxic substances” – controlled Brodifacoum TC and Bromadiolone TC), ours will expire on June 23, 2027.
Exposing Lies from China: As a 40-Year Manufacturer of Chinese Rodenticides industry.
- (1) How many anticoagulant rodenticides are currently available in China?
If referring to the “Pesticide Registration Certificate” issued by the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), there are currently five active ingredients with valid registration status: “Warfarin, Coumatetralyl, Brodifacoum, Bromadiolone, and Flocoumafen.” However, it should be noted that obtaining MOA registration in China does not automatically grant authorization for production and sale. To synthesize these rodenticides, two additional production licenses must be obtained: the “Hazardous Chemicals License” and the “Pesticide Production License.” Since the implementation of the new pesticide law in 2017, the sale of rodenticides requires an additional “State Designated Restricted-Pesticide Sales Site” license. - (2) Since MOA registration in China is not equivalent to a production qualification, how many rodenticide active ingredients are currently permitted for production, and how many manufacturing companies are there?
Over the past 40 years, there were six active ingredients permitted for rodenticide production in China: “Chlorophacinone, Warfarin, Coumatetralyl, Brodifacoum, Bromadiolone and Difenacoum (in principle, unofficially)” with a total of five licensed manufacturing companies were located in: “Siyang county (Jiangsu province), Tianjin Municipality, Shanghai Municipality, Zhangjiakou city (Hebei province), and Xiaolin town, Cixi city (Zhejiang province).” However, with China’s industrial upgrading (2005 National Industrial Policy and 2006 Rodenticides National Standards) and regulatory reforms (the establishment of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in 2008), only two active ingredients (Bromadiolone and Brodifacoum) retained production permits, and only two companies retained production qualifications, namely “Siyang” and “Tianjin.” All other active ingredients and manufacturers have been completely phased out. It should be noted that among the three companies whose active ingredient production qualifications were revoked, two are state-owned enterprises, namely “Shanghai Gaolun Modern Agrochemical Co., Ltd. (under Shanghai Pesticide Research Institute)” and “Zhangjiakou Jinsai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.” (formerly Zhangjiakou Rodenticide Plant, the developer of first generation of anticoagulant rodenticides, Warfarin and Coumatetralyl in China). - (3) Which Chinese authority is responsible for approving the production qualification of rodenticides and issuing production licenses?
Production qualifications require obtaining two mandatory production licenses simultaneously (for chemicals and pesticides); otherwise, production is deemed illegal. (i) “Industrial Chemical Production License” (now the “Hazardous Chemicals License”): From our establishment in 1985 to 1998, the competent authority was the former Ministry of Chemical Industry; from 2002 to the present, the competent authority is the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS, now Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM)) in accordance with the “Work Safety Law” and the “List of Hazardous Chemicals”; (ii) For “Pesticide Production Licenses”: From 2003 to 2008, the competent authority was the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC); from 2008 to 2017, the competent authority was the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) ( for national standard pesticides) and the MIIT (for non-standard pesticides) in accordance with the National Industrial Policy by NDRC; since 2017, the competent authority has been the MOA (renamed MARA in 2018), which assumed the responsibilities previously held by MIIT and AQSIQ. - (4) So, if we are interested in other rodenticide active ingredients, such as Difenacoum, will China be able to supply these products in the future?
This has not been possible since 2005. According to the “National Industrial Guidelines” issued by the State Council in 2005 with its supporting regulations, namely the “Industrial Policy Directory” of the “National Development and Reform Commission” (NDRC), China has banned the production of new highly toxic pesticide rodenticide active ingredients and new production enterprises since 2005. The “National Industrial Policy Directory” has now been updated to the 2024 edition. - (5) What is the current regulatory status of “Brodifacoum TC” and “Bromadiolone TC” in China?
It is primarily managed by three national ministries. The most important of these is the Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM), established in 2018, which absorbed the former State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS). This department holds nearly the broadest regulatory authority in China, including the ability to directly mobilize military and police forces in emergency situations. Therefore, obtaining a valid “Hazardous Chemical License” in China is of utmost importance. The second is the Ministry of Public Security (MPS), which primarily oversees the procurement, transportation and storage of hypertoxic chemicals within the country. (In fact, since the Ministry of Public Security’s regulations took effect in 2005, it has been stipulated that every sale and transport of highly toxic chemicals (such as bromadiolone TC and brodifacoum TC) must be reported to the county-level or higher public security authorities.) Lastly, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA, formerly the Ministry of Agriculture) manages pesticide regulations. - (6) Given that China has only two holders of production qualification (Siyang and Tianjin), and they are only authorized to produce two active ingredients – “Bromadiolone and Brodifacoum”- why have we learned that other few companies hold MOA registration certificates?
Yes, four provinces in China have MOA registration certificates for technical rodenticides (Brodifacoum, Bromadiolone) without production qualification: “Liaoning Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Henan Province, and Shaanxi Province.” In fact, pesticide registration dossiers can be freely traded in China. Theoretically, this means an existing MOA registration certificate can be transferred multiple times to different enterprises. In reality, some currently held registration certificates without production qualifications were purchased from enterprises long since phased out by the state – for example, the four technical rodenticide registration certificates currently held by Inner Mongolia all originated from Zhangjiakou’s “Jinsai” company (whose active ingredient production was banned after the 2005 national industrial policy was introduced). Additionally, note that China’s “production qualifications” are strictly non-transferable. Any transfer would be treated as a new rodenticide construction project, which is explicitly prohibited under “national industrial policy.” - (7) Since these companies are not permitted to produce the active ingredients for rodenticides, why have they persistently held pesticide registration certificates for years?
In fact, “having registration without production qualification” holds immense value for “opportunistic Chinese entities.” Historically, pesticide production in China fell outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture. Under relevant laws and regulations, the production of technical Bromadiolone and Brodifacoum was previously overseen by multiple agencies including MEE, SAWS (now MEM), NDRC, MIIT, AQSIQ, and so on. Meanwhile, storage, procurement, and transportation were primarily managed by the “Ministry of Public Security” (MPS). Therefore, after obtaining a “pesticide registration without a production qualification,” the registrant no longer needed authorization from the source manufacturer. This allowed them to procure illegally produced industrial-grade raw materials on the market. On one hand, they could dilute these into concentrates for their own use or supply to downstream enterprises. On the other hand, they could freely export overseas – because when applying for a “Pesticide Export Release Certificate” in China, only a stamped copy of registration certificate needed to be submitted to ICAMA, with no verification required of the product’s origin or production legality. This regulatory loophole may explain why, over the past two decades, illegally produced rodenticide active ingredients accounted for over 90% of China’s domestic market and were exported in large quantities globally. However, since the implementation of the “Pesticide Management Regulations” (pesticide law) in 2017, more detailed provisions have been introduced to strengthen oversight (see the “Latest Updates” section at the bottom of this page for details). - (8) According to the China’s “National Industrial Policy,” China has consistently prohibited the establishment of new high-toxicity pesticide production enterprises. If the two existing enterprises holding production licenses were to exit the market, would new production enterprises be approved to enter the market to fill the gap?
This is not possible, due to constraints imposed by multiple laws, regulations, and policies. This is because since 2006, the Ministry of Land and Resources (now the Ministry of Natural Resources) has prohibited any new land use for the production of industrial-grade rodenticides, with the current updated regulations being the 2024 version. And other rules in China are as follows: first, the MEE (Ministry of Ecology and Environment) no longer accepts environmental impact assessments for “Hypertoxic” chemicals, and new “pollution discharge permits” are absolutely prohibited from being issued; the MEM (the Ministry of Emergency Management) also no longer accepts safety assessments. Second, the NDRC is the competent authority responsible for “Project Initiation,” and its “National Industrial Policy” explicitly prohibits such activities. Finally, under the “Measures for the Administration of Pesticide Production” stipulated by the 2017 new Pesticide Law, the prerequisite for applying for a “Pesticide Production License” is compliance with “National Industrial Policy.” From a political standpoint, absolutely no public security bureau within China would be willing to assume new legal oversight responsibilities, namely conducting acceptance inspections for newly constructed storage facilities for hypertoxic chemicals (brodifacoum TC and bromadiolone TC) as mandated by the Ministry of Public Security’s 2012 regulations. - (9) Why do you claim that you are the only legal exporter of “Bromadiolone technical material” and “Brodifacoum technical material” since obtaining export qualifications in 2006?
This is primarily based on the Work Safety Law, the Regulations on the Management of Hazardous Chemicals, and the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals, all of which have been in effect since 2002. Any entity engaged in the sale of “Bromadiolone TC and Brodifacoum TC” within China, including export activities, must obtain a mandatory license – the “Hypertoxic Chemical License.” Since the implementation of the new Pesticide Law in 2017, entities must also hold a “Restricted Pesticide License.” Another qualified manufacturer in Tianjin primarily produces bait formulations and has not yet obtained export qualifications for related business operations. - (10) Since you will no longer accept orders from overseas customers starting in 2023, are there other companies in China engaged in this export business?
Currently, although only few exporters in China have obtained a “Restricted Pesticide License,” no other company besides ours has been approved for an “Hypertoxic Chemical License.” Therefore, except for our factory, all export activities involving “Brodifacoum TC” and “Bromadiolone TC” in China are illegal. However, as overseas buyers, there is no obligation to understand Chinese laws and regulations regarding hazardous chemicals, and it is natural to be able to purchase freely from any Chinese exporter. However, import and export transportation is a global rule, and safety is of paramount importance, especially for hypertoxic chemicals. Therefore, in any cases, packaging must comply with international regulatory requirements. In other words, legal UN Proper Shipping Name: “Coumarin derivative Pesticides, Solid, Toxic.,” the packing group “I” steel drums for UN3027, Class 6.1. - (11) What compliant packaging do you use when exporting Bromadiolone TC and Brodifacoum TC?
We require specially customized steel drums that comply with UN Packaging Group “I” standards. In the past, we often customized UN steel drums with capacities of 73 and 78 liters, suitable for loading 20 kg of Bromadiolone technical material or 25 kg of Brodifacoum technical material. The performance of UN Group “I” steel drums must comply with the requirements of China’s mandatory standard GB-3796 “General Rules for Pesticide Packaging”: stacking test ≥ 3 meters, air-tightness test ≥ 30 k Pa, and hydraulic test ≥ 250 k Pa. Additionally, custom-made UN steel drums have an export validity period of only 12 months from the date of production. An example of the compliant United Nations specification packaging mark we have used in the past: “UN 1A2/X32/S/19/CN/C230409/PI:010.” - (12) What are the compliance export procedures and transportation requirements for Brodifacoum TC and Bromadiolone TC?
First, the “Measures for the Purchase and Road Transportation Management of Hypertoxic Chemicals” promulgated by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) in 2005 are currently the effective regulations in force. Secondly, in 2020, the General Administration of Customs of China (GAC) issued the “Announcement on Issues Concerning the Inspection and Supervision of the Import and Export of Hazardous Chemicals and Their Packaging,” implementing mandatory inspections for the export of Brodifacoum and Bromadiolone, four certificates are required: (i) the “Certification of Hazardous Classification and Identification;” (ii) the “Performance Inspection Results of Packages for Transportation of Exported Goods;” (iii) the “Inspection Certificate for Export of Dangerous Goods Packaging;” and (iv)the “Pesticide Export Release Certificate.” Additionally, in China, airlines absolutely do not accept air transport of hypertoxic chemicals (technical Brodifacoum and technical Bromadiolone); for sea transport, almost all shipping companies do not accept less-than-container load (LCL) shipments and only accept full-container load (FCL) shipments. - (13) What is the correct tariff code for technical rodenticide? (HS Codes: “380899” or “293220”)
There is no doubt that China’s import and export commodity codes match the “Harmonized System” (HS) codes established by the “World Customs Organization” (WCO), but China has further subdivided the internationally accepted 6-digit codes into 10-digit codes. The export tariff codes for pesticides in China are legally mandated, based on the “Catalogue of the People’s Republic of China for the Administration of the Import and Export of Pesticides (latest 2022 edition).” This directory is commonly referred to as the “Chinese Export Pesticide Customs Code.” The tariff code for pesticide export code #640 Brodifacoum, “2932209011,” and the tariff code for pesticide export code #645 Bromadiolone, “2932209013.” In addition, the code #1235 in the export pesticide directory refers to “Retail-packaged Rodenticides (Ready-to-use Bait),” with a tariff number of 3808991090; code #1237 refers to “Non-retail-packaged Rodenticides (Ready-to-use Bait),” with a tariff number of 3808999090. In any case, technical rodenticides (Brodifacoum TC and Bromadiolone TC) are definitely not classified under the same tariff code as rodenticide baits. - (14) Why did you give up your pesticide production qualifications for “0.005% RB” in 2013?
Regarding the 0.005% bait, we have not actually produced it for nearly 20 years, as another licensed company in Tianjin is the core enterprise in this market and occupies a significant market share. We have consistently focused on the production and export of technical materials. - (15) Why did you cease production in 2019 and plan to invest in relocating to a new site?
This is because the safety distance between the factory and the residential communities subsequently built in the surrounding area no longer complies with the latest safety regulations. These include the Regulations on the Management of Hazardous Chemicals revised in 2011 by the former SAWS (now MEM), the GA 1002-2012 Storage Standards for Hypertoxic Chemicals promulgated by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) in 2012, and the second amendment to the Work Safety Law enacted in 2014 (now effective as the third amendment in 2021). - (16) After relocating to the new facility in 2021, did your company cease production of 98% technical-grade raw materials (TC) and 0.5% concentrates (TK)?
Yes. First, for technical rodenticides production, any relocation of manufacturers in China, even within the same industrial park in a city, currently results in the loss of production qualifications. This is determined by the 2006 “ Prohibited Land Use Catalog” regulations issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources (now the Ministry of Natural Resources), which have since been updated to the 2024 regulations. Also as stated in response to Question 8 (MEE no longer accepts environmental impact assessments for hypertoxic chemicals, and MEM no longer accepts safety assessments.) In fact, we have produced and maintain sufficient inventory of technical-grade raw materials at our original facility to meet domestic and international market demand for years to come. Regarding discontinuing concentrates production, this decision was driven both by simplifying legal procedures for relocation and by market considerations. In the domestic market, illegal underground producers have dominated nearly 90% of the market share over the past 20 years, leaving our company with virtually no orders. The export market is equally unfeasible – China implemented national standards (GB) for brodifacoum and bromadiolone in 2006, stipulating that the only legal concentration for Chinese concentrates is 0.5%. This conflicts with the 0.25% concentration adopted by most countries internationally. - (17) Why did you terminate all MOA pesticide registration renewals in 2023?
This is because we have notified the Ministry of Agriculture that the newly relocated site will no longer engage in production, and therefore the pesticide registration certificate will not be renewed. Since relocating in 2021, the new facility has obtained joint certification from three regulatory bodies (MEM, MARA, MPS) as a legally authorized site for storing and selling technical Bromadiolone and Brodifacoum. Inventory levels have been jointly documented by all three departments. The MEM Hazardous Chemicals Permit and MARA Designated Restricted Pesticide Permit currently held by the factory are the two mandatory statutory licenses required for domestic operations. Regarding future license renewal applications, we will adhere to the policy that permits expire upon depletion of existing inventory. Concurrently, the revocation of our MOA registration certificate signifies our formal exit from the “pesticide industry.” - (18) What is the current reality of the rodenticide industry in China?
In fact, since the “2015 Tianjin explosion” and the “2019 Xiangshui Chemical Plant explosion,” China’s chemical production policies have been significantly tightened, forcing private small and medium enterprises to close or be reorganized by state-owned enterprises, while relocating related industries to remote desert regions such as Ningxia and Inner Mongolia. However, for the rodenticide industry, the relocation of the production of hypertoxic rodenticides is not acceptable anywhere within China’s territory (Please refer to the answer to Question 8.) Secondly, production activities at the original production base (like our Siyang) have gradually become unable to meet the requirements of new regulations and policies. Therefore, in China, even with a production license (now only Tianjin remains), manufacturing a new batch of technical rodenticides (such as Bromadiolone TC and Brodifacoum TC) currently faces major challenges. - (19) What are your views on the future development of this industry?
First, we believe that with the tightening of regulatory policies in China, domestic illegal clandestine producers will soon disappear, as relevant information has already been exposed. In addition, we have already withdrawn from the market, so China will no longer sell or export Brodifacoum TC and Bromadiolone TC. Technical-grade rodenticides in China will no longer be sold on the market. Moving forward, only concentrated formulations will be sold as technical pesticide raw materials, aligning with current practices in other countries worldwide. Meanwhile, both domestic and international markets will gradually transition from disorder to regulation. Furthermore, we believe that the market will ultimately return to the EU, and participants in the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) (EU Regulation No. 528/2012) will become global leaders and be included in the “Article 95 list.”
Latest news on pesticide regulation in China:
- On June 29, 2025, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China (MARA) issued Announcement No. 925, which will take effect on January 1, 2026. Commonly referred to in China as “one certificate per product,” this is an important reform management policy introduced under the new Pesticide Law of China in 2017. It requires that each pesticide registration certificate number correspond to only one product, thereby ending the previous practice of “one certificate for multiple products” (i.e., “borrowing certificates number” or “using certificates for multiple products”) and regulating the pesticide market. The implementation of this policy will eliminate “zombie enterprises” that survive through improper means, thereby promoting a restructuring of the pesticide industry. It is estimated that over 80% of pesticide products and enterprises in the industry will be phased out within the next 3 years.

- Responsible officials from the Department of Crop Production Management (Pesticide Management Department) and the Department of Regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs answer questions from reporters regarding Announcement No. 925 of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs: https://www.moa.gov.cn/xw/zwdt/202507/t20250731_6476193.htm
- A brief summary:
In short, the above regulations represent the biggest reform in China’s pesticide industry to date, with the aim of phasing out more than 80% of non-compliant pesticide products from the Chinese market within three years. The measures stipulate that, starting from January 1, 2026, pesticide labels or QR codes on labels must indicate the source of the active ingredient, i.e., the manufacturer of the concentrate or technical material. For the rodenticide industry, the simpler interpretation is that the active ingredients in rodenticides placed on the market must originate exclusively from two legally authorized manufacturers – Siyang or Tianjin.
