It seems like we’re seeing more and more news from China these days. In this case, Bodisen Biotech, which claims that it is the “first China-based environmentally friendly bio-fertilizer company listed on a US stock exchange (AMEX),” today announced the launch of its new pesticide raw materials production line which is expected to make it one of the largest producers of Mancozeb in China.

Mancozeb is the most versatile chemical used in the production of fungicides due to the fact that it can also be utilized as an end product on crops and not just as a raw material. Bodisen’s state of the art facility, which is expected to be completed in March 2006, will employ some of the most current agricultural technologies available. The new manufacturing facility gives Bodisen a competitive advantage, which it believes will increase its production density up to 20% higher than its competitors, making Bodisen an emerging leader in China’s agricultural and raw materials markets.

Bodisen is a Delaware company with headquarters in Shaanxi, China’s agricultural hub.
