Above the 28 kinds of active ingredients accounts for 43% of all the submitted
registration amount (Waiting to assess the number of registration + The number of

The analysts estimate the registration evaluate will take 10--12 years for the above active ingredient. If some registration process is expected to change that will have a great help to accelerate the registration assessment or rejection speed.
