  Henan HDF Chemical Co., Ltd. (Henan HDF) released its financial figures for H1 2016:

  •     Net profit: USD120,000, down 75% YoY

  Fortunately, although the company experienced a fall in financial performance, it still remained profitable.

   

  "The glyphosate industry is depressed, leading to falls in the revenue and profit margin of glyphosate, our leading product. This ultimately caused slumps in our total revenue and net profit," explained Henan HDF. Henan HDF's business consists of three sectors, namely pesticide technical & formulations, fine chemicals and others.

  

  During the reporting period, the company achieved USD11.22 million from pesticide technical & formulations business, 71% of the total revenue. Notably, glyphosate business, belonging to pesticide technical & formulations business, took up 70%+ of revenue to the total revenue in the past few years. However, the revenue from glyphosate only amounted to USD10.88 million in H1 2016, down 34% YoY.

   

  In China, many pesticide enterprises whose main business is glyphosate have suffered net losses in H1 2016, such as Zhejiang Wynca Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. As of now, China's glyphosate price still keeps low. CCM predicted that Henan HDF's total revenue and net profit in year 2016 will report large YoY falls, but it is still very likely to remain profitable.
