Evergreen shares: deep cultivation of original drug innovation as a compulsory agent market

With the increasingly stringent pesticide use and management policies, new environmentally friendly pesticides with high efficiency, low toxicity and low residue have become the focus and mainstream trend of the industry's research and development, and pesticide formulations are developing in the direction of water-based, dust-free, and controlled release with high efficiency and safety
.
In order to understand the situation of pesticide companies in depth, on July 16, the high-quality development research team of listed companies in the petroleum and chemical industries visited Jiangsu Changqing Agrochemical Co.

The company's performance report for the first quarter of 2021 showed that operating income was 735 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 21.
36%; net profit was 57 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 12.
09%
.
At present, the company has developed into an agrochemical enterprise integrating R&D, original drug synthesis, preparation compounding and trade.

Focus on the main business and optimize the industrial layout

The predecessor of Evergreen is Jiangdu Pesticide Factory, which was founded in 1970 and has 50 years of experience in pesticide production and sales
.
At present, the company has developed from a single compounding process to an agrochemical enterprise integrating R&D, original drug synthesis, preparation compounding and trade.

　　The company’s secretary of the board, Ma Changqing, told the research team that the company currently has two production bases for technical materials in Yangzhou, Jiangsu and Nantong, Jiangsu, and two preparation production bases in Yangzhou, Jiangsu and Yiyang, Hunan.
The products cover herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
A series of more than 30 kinds of original drugs, more than 110 kinds of preparation products, with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of original drugs and tens of thousands of tons of preparations
.

　　"The company's leading products have a market share in the forefront of the industry
.
Among them, fomesafen has an annual production capacity of 4,400 tons, which is the company with the largest output of diphenyl ether herbicides in China.

　　The original medicine business and the preparation business complement each other and cooperate with each other, which is the dual engine for the company's rapid development
.
Ma Changqing said that the company is vigorously promoting the construction of Hubei Yichang production base, insisting on high-start planning, high-standard design, and high-quality construction to build a green smart factory and consolidate the foundation for high-quality development

　　It is understood that in 2020, Evergreen will purchase more than 400 acres of industrial land in the Tianjiahe area of ​​Yaojiagang Chemical Park, Yichang, Hubei, and invest in the construction of agrochemicals, intermediates, preparations and other chemical products production base projects
.
The total planned investment of the project is about 1.

　　Technological innovation facilitates the transformation of results

　　Evergreen adheres to the sustainable development path of "Science and Technology", and is committed to introducing and developing new varieties of high-efficiency, low-toxicity pesticides.
The annual R&D expenditures account for more than 4% of the sales revenue of the year, and the R&D hardware facilities are first-class in the industry.
Level
.
In 2011, the company was rated as "Jiangsu Province Innovation and Development Leading Enterprise" by Jiangsu Enterprise Development Engineering Association; in May 2013, it was rated as "Jiangsu Province Management Innovation Demonstration Enterprise" by Jiangsu Economic and Information Technology Commission; in May 2014, it was awarded by Jiangsu Province.

　　The research team also learned that the company has built five provincial-level and above R&D platforms, including a national-level post-doctoral scientific research workstation and an excellent enterprise technology center in Jiangsu Province, and a national “A-level quality inspection agency” in the petrochemical industry
.
The company's leading product processes are independently developed by it, and the synthesis yield and product quality have reached the level of internationally renowned pesticide companies, and it is in a leading position in China

　　"With the joint efforts of the scientific research team, we adopted a micro-structure continuous green energy-saving process to improve the dicamba production process, and applied the micro-structure continuous process to the first step in the synthesis process of dicamba, namely 2,5-dichloro Phenol production, this is the most demanding step in the synthesis step.
Using this new process, a cost of 1,000 yuan per ton of product can be saved; the continuous asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation production (S)-isopropyl jointly developed by the company and Nanjing University of Technology The industrialization technology of alachlor was awarded the first prize for technological innovation by the China Pesticide Industry Association.
The project effectively solved the problem of the harm to the environment caused by ineffective (R)-metolachlor in the world's second largest herbicide metolachlor.
, To achieve a breakthrough in the industrialization of chiral refined metolachlor by continuous asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation technology with independent intellectual property rights in China
.
" Ma Changqing said
.

　　He said that in 2021, the company will continue to promote the installation and commissioning of 6000 tons of dicamba per year and the start of construction of the 3,500 tons of glufosinate convertible bond fundraising project.
Through the implementation of the continuity of the production process and the intelligentization of production management, Reduce the number of workers, improve production efficiency, and give full play to the effect of science and technology in boosting production
.

　　Accurate efforts to enhance industry status

　　High-efficiency, low-toxicity, and low-residue new environmentally friendly pesticides will become the focus and mainstream trend of industry research and development
