The agrochemical market has remained calm over the past week, with no major price swings. However, trading activity is sluggish, and overall market demand is weak, creating a subdued atmosphere.

A few specific agrochemicals are seeing their prices rise. This is because existing inventory has been mostly sold off, and manufacturers aren't producing actively, leading to tighter supply. Fortunately, with recent international orders coming in, sales of these products are picking up, causing prices to increase. Examples include:

Glyphosate (95%): Up 300 yuan, priced at 27,500 yuan/ton.

2,4-D (98%): Up 500 yuan, priced at 16,500 yuan/ton.

Glufosinate (95%): Up 500 yuan, priced at 47,000 yuan/ton.

Tebuconazole (97%): Up 500 yuan, priced at 52,500 yuan/ton.

Azoxystrobin (98%): Up 2,000 yuan, priced at 142,000 yuan/ton.

However, other agrochemicals haven't been so lucky. With an oversupply and low demand, their prices are difficult to maintain and may continue to fall. Here are the specifics:

1. Herbicides

Atrazine (97%): Down 1,000 yuan, priced at 21,000 yuan/ton.

Clethodim (90%): Down 5,000 yuan, priced at 115,000 yuan/ton.

Quinclorac (85%): Down 2,000 yuan, priced at 96,000 yuan/ton.

2. Insecticides

Pymetrozine (97%): Down 2,000 yuan, priced at 106,000 yuan/ton.

Cartap (95%): Down 2,000 yuan, priced at 30,000 yuan/ton.

Cartap (90%): Down 2,000 yuan, priced at 28,000 yuan/ton.

Chlorantraniliprole (96%): Down 5,000 yuan, priced at 230,000 yuan/ton.

3. Fungicides

Difenoconazole (96%): Down 1,000 yuan, priced at 86,000 yuan/ton.

Boscalid (95%): Down 10,000 yuan, priced at 290,000 yuan/ton.

Overall, prices for most products in the market remain stable, and no drastic fluctuations are expected in the short term. Looking ahead, the general trend for the agrochemical market is price stabilization, but individual products will follow different paths.

Although most buyers are still in a "wait-and-see" mode, the increase in international orders is a positive sign for the market. Specifically, two points are worth noting: a few products may see slight price drops, but the decrease is expected to be small. In contrast, there's a strong expectation of price increases for most mainstream products. This is because both the market and manufacturers have low inventory, and producers are already planning to raise prices.

In summary, the market is likely to see a "mixed" performance going forward, with individual product trends largely depending on their own demand.
