The fluctuation of pesticide raw material prices often involves a series of complex and interrelated factors. The following is an analysis of these specific influencing factors:

1. Changes in raw material costs: The production of pesticide raw materials relies on a series of chemical raw materials, such as petroleum derivatives, mineral resources, organic compounds, etc. The prices of these raw materials are influenced by fluctuations in international market prices, fluctuations in energy prices, stability of mineral resource supply, and transportation costs. When raw material prices rise, the production cost of pesticide raw materials increases, thereby driving up their market prices.

2. Supply chain interruption or shortage: Sudden events such as natural disasters, geopolitical conflicts, trade barriers, epidemics, etc. may lead to supply chain interruption, such as reduced supply of key raw materials, logistics disruptions, port delays, etc. These factors will directly affect the production and transportation of pesticide raw materials, causing tight market supply and ultimately pushing up prices.

3. Strict environmental policies and regulations: The tightening of environmental regulations may lead to the elimination of some old and heavily polluting pesticide raw material production capacity, or increase operating costs for enterprises due to the need to upgrade environmental protection facilities. Strict environmental supervision may also lead to interruptions or reductions in production processes, affecting market supply and driving up prices. In addition, the ban and restriction policies on certain toxic and harmful pesticide components may also lead to an increase in demand for substitutes, which may drive up the prices of related raw materials.
