From March 17 to 19, 2026, the National Exhibition and Convention Center Shanghai became the focal point for global agrochemical professionals, as the 26th China International Agrochemical & Crop Protection Exhibition (CAC2026) opened as scheduled. As an enterprise dedicated to the R&D and production of fluorine-containing heterocyclic and aliphatic compounds, Changzhou Huanling Chemical participated with its core products and technical solutions. Amid the vast 160,000-square-meter exhibition area, we not only witnessed the vibrant vitality of the industry but also clarified our development direction through in-depth exchanges and interactions.
Under the theme of “Agrochemical World, World Agrochemicals”, this edition gathered 2,320 enterprises from 37 countries and regions worldwide, with 50,000 professional visitors from more than 130 countries creating an exceptionally dynamic atmosphere for communication. Our booth highlighted our core strengths in fluorine-containing intermediates, with a focus on flagship products such as 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine. Backed by dual ISO and GMP quality system certifications, it attracted numerous domestic and international formulators and traders for in-depth discussions. Over the three days, we met with long-term customers from traditional export markets including Brazil, Vietnam and India, and also reached preliminary cooperation intentions with several European enterprises specializing in green pesticides, which showed strong interest in our precise control of fluorination processes and product purity (≥98%).
The emerging industry trends at the exhibition were particularly impressive. On the policy front, the new pesticide management regulations issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in late 2025 became a hot topic. Requirements such as “one certificate for one product with unified standards” and “standardized label and trademark declaration” have accelerated industry compliance. This aligns perfectly with our adherence to standardized production over the years and strengthened our determination to continuously improve our registration and information management system. On the market side, “green and high-efficiency” has become a shared consensus, with crowded booths for biopesticides and low-toxicity formulations. Customers now focus not only on price but also on environmental compatibility and application safety. In contrast to the overhyped concepts of some enterprises, we are more convinced that deep cultivation in the segmented field of fluorine-containing compounds and achieving high-efficiency and low-toxicity products through core process innovation is the path to sustainable development.
The industry reflections gained during the exhibition were especially valuable. Witnessing severe product homogenization and more marketing innovation than technological breakthroughs among some exhibitors, we deeply realized that as an intermediate manufacturer, we must build solid technical barriers. Our expertise in special reaction technologies such as hydrogen fluoride and fluorine gas reactions is the key to creating differentiated advantages. Meanwhile, the industry trend of “transformation from product supplier to crop health solution provider” conveyed at the exhibition has defined our service upgrade direction — in the future, we will provide downstream customers with more comprehensive application technical support to help formulators develop targeted solutions.
This trip to CAC2026 brought us nearly 20 cooperation intentions and clarified three major development paths: first, to continue increasing R&D investment, focusing on cutting-edge fields such as fluorine-containing biostimulants and green pesticide intermediates; second, to strictly follow new regulations and improve the full-process compliance system from registration to labeling; third, to deepen international cooperation, expanding into high-end European markets while consolidating our presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
The agrochemical industry is at a critical transitional stage driven by policies and market demands. As an industry bellwether, CAC2026 has helped us clearly see both challenges and opportunities. Changzhou Huanling Chemical will take this exhibition as a new starting point, stay true to its original aspiration of “high-quality fine chemical solutions”, empower green agriculture with core fluorine-containing technologies, and join global partners in pursuing high-quality development.
