review of both our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2011 and our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2012. In response to the comments raised in your letter, we confirm that we will revise our future

far-reaching logistics and transportation capabilities, and customer service expertise. The markets for AMVAC&#146;s products vary by region, target crop/use and the type of distribution channel, and AMVAC&#146;s customers are expert in addressing
these markets. Internationally, the Company sells products either via its sales offices in the Netherlands, Mexico or Costa Rica, via employed sales force executives located in France, Canada or Venezuela, or via sales agents in other territories.

liquids, granules, powders, micro-encapsulated products. These products are sold in either a concentrated, diluted or formulated form. Because of the variety of forms in which our products are sold, a single volume measurement is not a key metric
that we track. However, for the Form 10-K for fiscal year ending December&nbsp;31, 2012 and all subsequent filings, we will revise our net sales discussion to include additional disclosure indicating, on a product group level, the main drivers of
price increase and, by difference, the drivers related to volume. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>3. We note your discussion and analysis of costs of sales is limited
to the context of gross margin, which does not address your cost of sales directly. We believe your gross margin disclosure should be supplemented with or, preferably, replaced by a discussion and analysis of costs of sales on a stand-alone basis
(not in the context of gross margin). Further, we believe such disclosure should include separate quantification and discussion of changes in significant components of cost of sales that caused costs of sales to materially vary (or not vary when
expected to). Additionally, the impacts of material variances in components of costs of sales that offset each other should be separately disclosed and quantified. In this regard, while you discuss certain factors to which changes are attributable,
you do not quantify certain of these factors nor analyze the underlying business reasons for the changes. For example, you attribute the change in gross margin, in part, to improved manufacturing activity, but you do not quantify this factor.
