英国作物保护协会(CPA)说,英国CPA成员的农药出口额从2000年的11.3亿英镑(16.38亿美元)跌落到2001年的 3.14亿英镑,下降了72%,主要是由于欧洲农药工业“根本性的”重组严重影响了英国的出口,捷利康农药与诺华农药业务合并成立先正达公司意味着不再有属于英国的农药跨国公司。出口崩溃的结果,英国制造厂家的农药总销售额仅为去年的一半,7.31亿英镑,但国内销售基本稳定.为4.17亿英镑,下降2%。作物面积下降和秋季很坏的气候影响了国内的销售,谷物面积下降4%,仅330万公顷。2000-2001年CPA成员的出口 The British Crop Protection Association (CPA) said CPA members’ exports of pesticides in the United Kingdom plummeted by 72% from 1.13 billion pounds ($ 1,638 million) in 2000 to 314 million pounds in 2001, largely due to the European pesticide industry “ The radical ”reorganization has a serious impact on the UK’s exports. The merger of Zellicon and Novartis’s business into Syngenta means that there will be no more pesticide multinationals that belong to the United Kingdom." As a result of the collapse in exports, the total sales of pesticides by British manufacturers were only half that of last year, with 731 million pounds, but domestic sales were basically stable at 417 million pounds, down 2%. Decline in crop area and bad autumn weather affected domestic sales, with a 4% drop in cereal area and a mere 3.3 million hectares. Exports of CPA members 2000-2001
