Some technical agrochemical prices rose
Agrochemical prices were overall strained in 2025 due to weak demand,though prices of certain products with relatively tight S/D conditions saw increases.According to Sino-Agri,the 2025 market ASPs for diuron/glyphosate/indoxacarb/thiophenate-methyl/carbendazim technical were RMB33k/25k/754k/33k/35k per tonne(-4.3/-0.5/-17.9/-11.9/+4.3%YoY).Guangxin’s core technical agrochemicals 2025 revenue was RMB1,443mn(-33.8%YoY)with sales volume of 42.7kt(-49.5%YoY)and an ASP of RMB33.8k/tonne(+31.19%YoY).According to baiinfo.com,the 2025 market ASPs for para-nitrochlorobenzene/ortho-nitrochlorobenzene/32%liquid caustic soda was RMB5,139/7,130/940 per tonne(-30.7/+23.6/+3.4%YoY).Guangxin’s key intermediates 2025 revenue was RMB1,456mn(-4.0%YoY),with sales volume of 910.6kt(+33.9%YoY)and an ASP of RMB1,599/tonne(-27.94%YoY).Overall GPM in 2025 rose 1.6pp YoY to 32.36%.
Agrochemical business climate likely to improve
Per its 1Q26 key operating data,Guangxin’s core technical agrochemicals revenue in 1Q26 was RMB294mn(-38.8%YoY)with sales volume down 42.5%YoY to 8.6kt and an ASP up 6.5%YoY to RMB34.1k/tonne.Revenue from key intermediates fell 10.3%YoY to RMB404mn,with sales volume up 14.1%YoY to 245.4kt and an ASP down 21.4%YoY to RMB1,645/tonne.While technical agrochemical prices showed some recovery in 1Q26,intermediate prices remained under pressure.Per Sino-Agri and baiinfo.com,as of 24 April,Guangxin’s key products diuron/glyphosate/indoxacarb/thiophenate-methyl/carbendazimtechnical/para-nitrochlorobenzene/ortho-nitrochlorobenzene/32%liquid caustic soda was priced at RMB50k/34k/530k/37k/34k/14k/11k/1k per tonne,+50/+45/-5/0/+16/+217/+29/+1%versus the beginning of the year,mainly due to cost-side support and strong price-supporting intentions on the supply side.We believe that with an overseas demand recovery and potential domestic supply rationalization,the sector business climate might improve.
