3. Sound business operation. In H1, the company resumed production early and made active response to both domestic and foreign demands.

In H1, Hailir vigorously expanded the product range and production capacity:

1. The main body construction, equipment installation, and commissioning of thiamethoxam and clothianidin technical projects which were funded by self-raised capital were finished and the projects were put into trial operation.

2. The prothioconazole technical (fungicide) project construction and equipment installation were accelerated.

3. The dinotefuran technical project construction was under preparation.
