                         Fluorine pesticides use fluorine atoms or fluorine-containing groups to replace other groups on the
                     aromatic rings and heterocycles of pesticide molecules. Because of the presence of fluorine-containing
                     groups in fluorine-containing pesticide molecules, fluorine pesticides can significantly increase pesticide
                     activity while being low toxic and environmentally-friendly, with good application prospects and high
                     added value, therefore, becoming one of the key factors in the development of pesticides across the
industrial chain

                     for approximately 30% of overall pesticide sales, covering the development of many new applications, as
                     well as those of old products. The combination of these new and old products has drawn the industry’s
                     attention to fluorine chemicals. In addition, all fluorine-containing intermediates are relevanct to all
                     downstream fluorine-containing pesticides, the upstream fluorinated intermediate structure and the
                     industrial chain, having become a key factor dominating the supply, cost and stability of downstream
                     fluorine-containing pesticide products. Manufacturers of fluorine-containing intermediates must focus on
