Pesticide manufacturers are gradually entering maintenance periods, and pesticide prices have stabilized at high levels, with lambda‑cyhalothrin leading the price increases this week. This week, the price of lambda‑cyhalothrin rose by RMB 15,000 per ton to RMB 295,000 per ton, a weekly increase of 5.4%. Thiamethoxam, pyraclostrobin, and clethodim also saw price hikes, reaching RMB 115,000, RMB 220,000, and RMB 165,000 per ton, respectively, with weekly gains of 4.5%, 2.3%, and 3.1%. Due to high technological barriers, domestic production capacity for lambda‑cyhalothrin is highly concentrated, with only a handful of companies—such as Yangnong Chemical—possessing manufacturing capabilities. Meanwhile, the resumption dates for pyrethroid producers that were previously shut down for environmental compliance remain uncertain, and market inventories are steadily declining.
