China agrochemical company Jiangsu Changqing has seized the opportunity of the continued growing pesticide demand in first half of 2012 and fully utilized its advantages brought by the leading products and brand image, resulting in a satisfactory performance. Its sales income in 1H 2012 rose by 32.47% to Yuan 655 million.
The company’s wholly owned subsidiary – Jiangsu Changqing Agrochemical Trading Co., Ltd achieved a business income of Yuan 105.8225 million and net profit of Yuan 772,900. However due to severe market competition, its gross profit from sales of pesticides of other manufacturers other than Changqing Agrochemical or its subsidiaries appears to be lower than expected.
As driven by the global strong demand for herbicide and pesticide, the company’s direct export volume achieved 79.23% growth with net profit of Yuan 78.4973 million which is up 23.35% with the same period of last year, as well as a net profit excluding non-recurring gains and losses of Yuan 78.1397 million with growth of 51.75% .
