Price Adjustment Overview
In March and April 2025, Limin Group Co., Ltd. (Limin Group) announced a series of price adjustments across its key fungicide technicals (TCs) and formulations. The company cited increased raw material costs and robust global demand as primary drivers for the upward pricing actions.

- Difenoconazole TC and related formulations: 10% price increase (effective April 10, 2025)
- Metiram and Propineb TC and related formulations: 5% price increase (effective April 10, 2025)
Market Context and Strategic Considerations
The global agrochemical market, particularly fungicides, has witnessed firming demand in early 2025, driven by expanding acreage of high-value crops and persistent fungal disease pressure. Meanwhile, raw material prices for critical chemical intermediates have surged, compelling producers like Limin Group to pass on additional costs to maintain margins.
Limin’s strategic price revisions are aimed at sustaining profitability while ensuring continued supply availability to major agricultural markets.
Export Perspectives
China remains a major exporter of fungicide actives like Mancozeb and Difenoconazole, with key markets including Brazil, India, the United States, and Southeast Asia. Rising costs could impact competitiveness, but Limin’s strong export network and differentiated product portfolio may help mitigate pressure.
