Agrochemical Industry
Increased food demand due to high population
growth, need for increased land productivity,
and soil health improvement are the key factors
driving the market in China. German company
Bayer’s agriculture division Bayer Crop Science in
China and China’s National Agricultural Technology
Extension Service Center (NATESC) under the
Ministry of Agriculture jointly launched the Action
Plan for Enhancing Green Development Capability
in 2019. The plan, a large non-profit training
project co-sponsored by Bayer and the NATESC, is
an important topic under the framework of Sino-
German agricultural cooperation. To respond to the
needs of green and quality development in Chinese
agriculture, it aims to build green development
capacities among key players, such as local officials

but also about the quality of what is grown, and

the consumers and better for the environment.
Farmers today are more aware that they need
to do agronomic practices that are more precise,
