The winter of 2017/18 was a watershed in the fight against the persistent and worsening pollution by the Chinese government. The unprecedented drastic measures taken to shut down production in a vast industrial region of China led to a major disruption in supplies of generic agrichemicals to the world markets. Prices of some products rose to more than double those preceding the shutdown. Many products were either not available at all or only a portion of the usual winter demand was met.

Since October 2017, there have been major disruptions in the production and supply of many generic agchem products, leading to major price increases and shortages for many products.  This is due to the mandatory closure of many production plants in the north and northeastern regions of China by the government to contain the usual severe winter pollution. The mandatory closure of coal-fired power plants has also been a major factor contributing to the shortage of industrial energy needed for agchem production.
