Top Exporters of China's Pesticide Industry in 2024 Released: Record-Breaking Scale Amid Supply-Demand Imbalance

In 2024, China's pesticide exports exhibited a "volume increase but price decrease" trend. The export scale reached a historical peak, with the export volume (calculated on a 100% active ingredient basis) reaching 2.05 million tons, an increase of nearly 500,000 tons compared to 2023, representing a 32% year-on-year growth. However, the export value only increased by 8% to reach $15.913 billion. Among these exports, three companies had export values exceeding $500 million: Rainbow Agro's export value was $1.867 billion, Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical had an export value of $831 million, and Fuhua Chemical reached $598 million.

The industry still faces pressures of supply-demand imbalance and intensified competition. Companies need to achieve transformation and upgrading through overseas formulation branding, expanding into emerging markets, and optimizing production capacity structures, in order to cope with the challenges of global supply chain fluctuations and increased international competition.
