Safety production and environmental protection policies have always been important factors that limit the supply capacity of Chinese factories. This year, a rigid indicator of energy consumption-carbon emission policy has been added. Towards the end of the year, the shortage of raw material supplies, a new round of environmental protection inspections, and national carbon emission targets requirements have caused some provinces to start power rationing, cut production or even stop production, further reducing supply. It is foreseeable that the key words in the last quarter are shortage and price increase!

The vanguard of price increase in 2021 is glyphosate. From 28,000 at the beginning of the year to 70,000 at present， the increase is as high as 150%. Driven by glyphosate, the prices of many herbicides have been remained high. Since August, the prices of insecticides and fungicides have also risen. After September, there are more and more products with rising prices, and everyone has a strong willingness to stock up.

At present, it is not only price increases that bothering the market, the reduced supply and the mentality of buying up but not buying down have led to a shortage of spot in the market. Glyphosate is scheduled for delivery in December and paraquat until the end of the year.

In this case, whoever gets the goods first will have greater profit margin. For example, a buyer who signed an order for 30,000 yuan in May, if he did not agree to a price increase at that time, he would not get the low-priced goods now; Those who agree to increase the price, if the goods have not been sold, have already made a profit of nearly 50%.

Do business with integrity and do not advocate breach of contract, but buyers can be advised to adopt a strategy that suits them according to the actual situation.
