 UN Comtrade 2024, reported by each country (exports by exporters, imports by importers), all partners. Some countries (for example Russia and Iran) do not report, so their shares are missing. HS codes can be broader than the tile: check the code before reading a share as the whole market.

#### How it moves

| Measure | Figure |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Share traded** | high: probably over half of technical output crosses borders (indicative) |  |  |
| **How it moves** | Powders and granules in bags and drums by container; mancozeb is a self-heating powder that needs dry, cool storage. |  |  |
| **Routes and chokepoints** | India (Mundra, Nhava Sheva) and China to Santos and Paranagua; Europe intra-regional; India to Africa and Southeast Asia. |  |  |
| **India** | The US and Brazil have been the top destinations for Indian insecticide and fungicide exports for five years (Rubix, Jun 2025). HS 380892: India imported $366 million (4.0% of world imports, rank 5) and exported $931 million (9.6% of world exports, rank 4) (UN Comtrade 2024). |  |  |
| **Handling in transit** | Mostly UN3077 (class 9, environmentally hazardous solid); mancozeb can self-heat and decompose if wet (indicative). |  |  |
