    From the fourth quarter of 2016 to the present, the prices of the technical materials of some bulk pesticides have increased significantly
    .
    Among the herbicides, paraquat increased by 95% from 10,500 yuan/ton to the current price of 20,500 yuan/ton; glufosinate increased by 41% from 117,300 yuan/ton to the current price of 165 million yuan/ton; glyphosate increased from 19,300 yuan/ton /Ton rose 31% to 25,300 yuan / ton at the end of the fourth quarter, and is currently down 11% to the current price of 22,600 yuan / ton
    .
    Among the pesticides, acetamiprid increased 92% from 90,000 yuan/ton to the current price of 172,500 yuan/ton; imidacloprid increased 65% from 98,500 yuan/ton to the current price of 162,500 yuan/ton; fipronil increased from 35 million yuan/ton /Ton increased by 64% to the current price of 575,000 yuan/ton; chlorpyrifos increased by 56% from 26,300 yuan/ton to the current price of 41,100 yuan/ton; Thiamethoxam increased by 44% from 80,000 yuan/ton to the current price of 115,000 yuan/ton ; Kungfu pyrethroid increased by 24% from 139 million yuan/ton to the current price of 172,500 yuan/ton; pymetrozine increased by 22% from 135 million yuan/ton to the current price of 165,000 yuan/ton
    .
    Among the fungicides, carbendazim increased by 8% from 34,000 yuan/ton to the current price of 36,800 yuan/ton; chlorothalonil increased by 7% from 34,000 yuan/ton to the current price of 36,500 yuan/ton
    .
    The continued rise in CCMP prices is expected to drive the prices of imidacloprid and acetamiprid to continue to rise
    .
    2-Chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine (CCMP) is an important intermediate for the production of imidacloprid and acetamiprid
    .
    In recent years, due to factors such as market downturn, high production pollution, and tightening of environmental protection policies, some CCMP manufacturers have withdrawn from the market, and there are only a few large companies left
    .
    Since 2016, due to environmental protection pressures such as environmental protection inspections and smog remediation, the supply of CCMP has continued to be tight.
    The average market price has increased by 41% from 67,500 yuan/ton in January 2016 to 95,000 yuan/ton at the end of 2016; 2017 Due to the increase in the number of companies that have stopped production in the industry, the market supply has become more tight.
    The price of CCMP has continued to rise by 58% to the current 150,000 yuan/ton.
    Among them, there were three increases in March 2017, from 120,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of the month.
    130,000 yuan/ton reached the current historical high of 150,000 yuan/ton
    .
    We expect that the price increase of CCMP will be transmitted to downstream products such as imidacloprid and acetamiprid
    .
    Environmental protection has become more serious and has shaped the production pattern of the pesticide industry.
    Environmental factors are the main reason for the general rise of pesticide technicals this round
    .
    (1) Domestic environmental protection inspections have promoted the shrinkage of the supply of the pesticide industry and accelerated the elimination of small production capacity
    .
    In the 2016 Central Environmental Protection and Environmental Protection Supervision Action, industrial parks in many provinces and cities were required to rectify and upgrade, especially in areas with low environmental protection thresholds.
    Some enterprises that did not meet environmental protection standards have been permanently shut down.
    The physical production base and production enterprises have a great influence
    .
    The third batch of environmental protection inspections is about to start.
    Shandong, Sichuan, Hebei and other places are the main areas for pesticide production.
    It is expected that the supply of some related pesticide varieties is expected to continue to shrink
    .
    (2) The method of environmental protection administration has contributed to the continued high prices of some pesticide varieties
    .
    The “one size fits all” administrative management of environmental protection shutdowns has brought greater challenges to the production of pesticides.
    At present, the supply of many original medicines and intermediates is extremely tight, pushing the prices of some products to historical highs
    .
    (3) The increase in the environmental protection threshold will help advantageous companies continue to increase their market share
    .
    The increase in environmental protection thresholds and the increase in market access conditions are conducive to the competitive advantages of enterprises above the scale and complete environmental protection facilities in the industry, and prompting the spontaneous clearing of backward and small production capacity in the industry, which is in line with the requirements of China's supply-side reform
