Recently, AgroPages learned from Shandong Kangqiao Bio-technology Co., Ltd. (Kangqiao) that the company has successfully obtained the independent registration for its Spirodiclofen technical product in Brazil. This marks Kangqiao's first such registration in the Brazilian market, representing a key step in its global regulatory strategy and laying a solid foundation for further expansion in South America.
Spirodiclofen is the second-largest product in the acaricide market. Since its initial launch in Japan and the Netherlands in 2003, it has been registered in over 45 countries and regions worldwide, including major agricultural markets such as Japan, South Korea, the EU, the U.S., and Canada. With a broad spectrum of efficacy, Spirodiclofen is highly effective not only against mites but also against piercing-sucking pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, psyllids, thrips, and scale insects. It features low toxicity, a long-lasting effect (up to 40 days), and a low risk of resistance development. Widely used in integrated pest management programs for crops like citrus, apples, pears, and strawberries, it provides vital support for sustainable agriculture.
As a globally significant agricultural country, Brazil has a steadily growing demand for crop protection products and maintains stringent registration standards. Kangqiao's successful registration of Spirodiclofen not only demonstrates the international competitiveness of its products but also highlights the enhanced quality and global compliance capabilities of Chinese agrochemical enterprises. This achievement will strongly promote Kangqiao's business development in the South American market, offering local farmers more efficient, low-toxicity, and environmentally friendly crop protection solutions.
As a national high-tech enterprise, Kangqiao is committed to the R&D, production, and sales of environmentally friendly agrochemicals, striving to become a leading enterprise in novel agrochemical creation in China. The company's main products include technical and formulations such as pyraclostrobin, spirodiclofen, and thifluzamide, with production capacities for pyraclostrobin and spirodiclofen ranking among the top in China. While continuously strengthening its established product portfolio, Kangqiao actively invests in the creation of new agrochemicals. It has independently developed multiple innovative achievements, including the novel acaricide bentioflumin and the patented bio-acaricide bacillus vallismortis NBIF-001, demonstrating robust R&D capabilities and technological innovation strength.
