Guangzhou, Guangdong -- (SBWire) -- 07/05/2011 --Hainan government released that it had approved the Implementation Measures of Hainan Province Pesticide Wholesale and Retail Business License Management Regulation (Trial) (Implementation Measures). This means that the implementation schedule of more than two months' discussion has been finally nailed down, revealing from CCM’s latest issue of Crop Protection China News.
According to the Implementation Measures of Hainan Province Pesticide Wholesale and Retail Business License Management Regulation (Trial), the implementation schedule is very tight for not only Hainan Government, but also pesticide enterprises in Hainan Province.
Those enterprises whose pesticide business licenses are not expired on 31 Dec. 2011 will be allowed to do pesticide business till they get expired. Hainan Government reminds these pesticide enterprises to prepare in advance because there will be no buffer period for them to deal with business after their licenses getting expired.
Given that many pesticide business licenses which are still valid before 31 Dec. 2011 will be all expired in these two years, 2013 is considered to be the new era for Hainan pesticide market.
Compared to the former approved policy on 22 April 2011, namely Hainan Province Pesticide Wholesale and Retail Business License Management Regulation (Trial) (Management Regulation for short), the Implementation Measures of Hainan Province Pesticide Wholesale and Retail Business License Management Regulation (Trial) (Implementation Measures for short) has been modified a little.
According to Management Regulation, till 2013, there will be no more than three pesticide wholesale enterprises left in Hainan Province with registered capital of over USD15.2 million. Each of these pesticide wholesale enterprises can set up 18 distribution centers in Hainan Province. As for pesticide retail enterprises, the upper limit number is set to be only 205 in the whole island and the registered capital of the retail enterprise should not be less than USD152,000.
However, the Implementation Measures has been added a relatively more relaxed condition than the Management Regulation. It says that cities and counties in Hainan Province may appropriately adjust the numbers of retail enterprises in local areas according to the actual situation of local agricultural development, the location of state-owned farms, traffic conditions, etc.
Different from the former tough policy, the modification is considered to be the government's worries about the large impact that would be brought to local agricultural industry with such sudden disappearance of pesticide enterprises. Thus, the modification will offer a more flexible condition in the execution of Implementation Measures.
