“China’s research capacity in the global market is gradually growing, which is shown by the following: 1) in general investment in crop protection is growing worldwide, especially in herbicide, fungicide and seed treatment products; 2) China is playing a more and more important role in the research activity and in the future China’s present position of research at the later stages will be brought forward to research involvement in earlier stages; 3) from global perspective, China is an integral part of Bayer CropScience production and supply globally. Since we have production base in China, lots of production including formulation production are taking place in China, which well demonstrate China’s important position in the whole Bayer CropScience organisation.”
