(浙江新农化工股份有限公司, Shenzhen Stock Exchange: 002942) is a publicly listed Chinese crop protection company founded in 1981 and headquartered in Hangzhou, with three integrated manufacturing bases in Xianju (Zhejiang), Jiaojiang (Taizhou, Zhejiang) and Rudong (Jiangsu) operated through wholly-owned subsidiaries Taizhou XinNong Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu XinNong Chemical Co., Ltd. The company develops and manufactures high-efficiency, low-toxicity, environmentally friendly green pesticides and high-tech pesticide intermediates, with its core proprietary platform being a zinc thiazole-based bactericide launched in China in 2009 under the Bisheng (碧生) brand and expanded overseas from 2016, protected by 56 invention patents and two China Patent Gold Awards. The product portfolio spans three tiers: branded formulations (the Bisheng/Birui/Lvjiancui/Bihuo/Biye/Bisui series targeted at Chinese farmers), technical-grade active ingredients (chlorpyrifos with FAO certification, pyraclostrobin with EU equivalence, triazophos, pendimethalin), and pesticide intermediates (phenylhydrazine, ethyl chloride/DETC, 1,3-cyclohexanedione, N-(1-ethylpropyl)-3,4-dimethylaniline) supplying downstream manufacturers.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model combining direct sales with a nationwide Chinese distributor network covering all 31 provinces and grassroots retail stores, supported by 200+ in-house crop protection technical service personnel conducting field demonstrations and farmer training. Internationally, products are exported to Southeast Asia, South Asia, Eastern Europe, South America, Europe, Australia and Africa, with long-term R&D and supply partnerships with multinational agrochemical companies. R&D is organized into five sections (Formulation, Synthesis, Bio-formulation, Analysis, Bioassay) and reinforced by an Academician Expert Workstation (est. 2013) and collaborations with 10+ Chinese universities including Zhejiang University, East China University of Science and Technology, Nankai University and Guizhou University. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of formulations, technical actives and intermediates (plus ancillary agricultural technical services), with unit-based pricing across varied package sizes and multi-year B2B contracts. No revenue figure is publicly disclosed in the available sources.
