This is an annual subscription product, with regular updates throughout the year.The 12th Five-Year (2011-2015) Plan for Pesticide Industry was released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on 3 Feb. 2012, which mainly focuses on adjusting industrial structure, improving technological innovation capacity, protecting the ecological environment and conserving natural resources.
Besides this five-year plan, China has released another two important policies on pesticide industry in recent years, including the Pesticide Industry Policy released also by MIIT in 2010 and the 12th Five-Year Plan for Pesticide Industry released by CCPIA in 2011; all are quite similar to each other.
