Pesticide prices remain high and the rate of increase is astonishing in history

The agricultural material market has entered the off-season, but the pesticide market is uncharacteristically hot

In 2017, the price of pesticide technical materials rose sharply

In terms of herbicides, as of the end of 2017, the price of glyphosate had risen by more than 60% from the lowest price of 19,000 yuan/ton at the end of June

In terms of pesticides, as of the end of the year, the price of imidacloprid had risen to 250,000 yuan/ton, an increase of 78.

Due to environmental pressures preventing many companies from starting operations, manufacturers are not actively starting operations, making the original drug supply in short supply.

8%, an increase of 2.

According to estimates, the utilization rate of pesticides has increased by 2.
2%, which is equivalent to reducing the use of pesticides by 30,000 tons and reducing production investment by about 1.

The price of pesticides may rise further

First of all, from the perspective of the price of the original drug, the pesticide market will usher in the peak procurement season of 2018 after the Spring Festival.
The current supply of the market has not been fully eased, and the price of pesticide products may further rise.

Small and backward enterprises will face the possibility of elimination

Finally, under the trend of international mergers and acquisitions, the pace of domestic mergers and acquisitions is expected to accelerate, and the market is facing a new division and reshuffle
