I wonder how the merchants will deal with the excess pesticides? , One must enjoy while they can, don't let the pesticides languish in solitude; An official from a pesticide company in Guangxi introduced that the stunning negotiation at the market may leave you speechless. Because their inventory cannot be digested, in order to get through the current sales difficulties, the company has limited production and is focusing its main efforts on preparing for the upcoming sales peak after the rainy season. Many companies have expressed that although crop aphids and red spider mites and other pests are occurring, some areas lack water, making it difficult to apply pesticides, resulting in an oversupply of the company's products.
"At this time every year, Guangxi should gradually enter the peak pesticide sales season. But this year it has been delayed." This is due to the ongoing drought in the five southwestern provinces. To ensure spring plowing during the drought, Guangxi Power Grid Company and local governments have implemented electricity guarantee measures for local agricultural material enterprises including pesticides, so the power supply for pesticide enterprises has not been significantly affected. Because most of the locations are near water sources, the production water supply for the enterprises can also be basically guaranteed. However, the reduction in demand makes it difficult for enterprises to quickly digest inventory, and the sales situation is not optimistic.
Despite the current operational challenges, some pesticide companies are working with local governments to promote products and technologies adapted to drought and high-temperature weather. At the same time, considering that after the drought there is likely to be a high incidence period of crop diseases and pests, which may increase the demand for pesticides, companies have already made preparations.
In recent times, the image of the "Agricultural Doctor" from Tianyuan Biochemical Company in the drought-stricken areas of Guangxi has left a deep impression. According to Vice General Manager Wei Zhijun of the company, Tianyuan Company has contributed to disaster relief and seized the opportunity to establish a good corporate image.
Facing the possible peak season after the drought, some cities have stockpiled pesticides, unable to enter new markets. Pesticide companies have stated that because current inventories are sufficient, the key effort needs to be placed on building the sales network. Guangxi Lianmin Company introduced that they have begun scientifically storing pesticides and established a scientific purchasing system for dealers, increasing promotional efforts for insecticides and other products.
Pesticide experts say that generally speaking, after the drought ends, with the replanting and rush planting of crops, the demand for pesticides will significantly increase. At the same time, after a major drought, crops are prone to pest infestations and diseases, thus increasing the demand for insecticides and fungicides.
The head of Guangxi Nanning Lianmin Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. introduced that in response to the rice planthopper and termite pests caused by the hot weather in the southwestern region, they have urgently allocated 300-400 tons of insecticides including avermectin and imidacloprid, as well as 500 pieces of Feidilong fertilizer, and prepared hundreds of pieces of cephalosporin fungicides, ready to send them to Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, where the pest situation is severe. They also taught local farmers drip irrigation techniques, actively responding to pest and drought disasters. For some poor households, they have started gifting water retention agents and other products. Additionally, the company actively guides farmers to adjust crop planting structures appropriately. For farmers in key drought-affected areas such as Shanglin, Tiandeng, and Long'an in Guangxi, who are accustomed to planting corn in the spring but often face difficulty in germinating corn seedlings under severe drought conditions, the company dispatched agricultural technicians to guide farmers in adjusting industrial structures, planting drought-resistant chili seedlings in key drought-prone areas, and providing on-site training to farmers on agricultural drought resistance and scientific planting knowledge, which has already shown results.
