Huizhou YinNong Technology Co., Ltd. became the first pesticide company listed

Huizhou YinNong Technology Co., Ltd. became the first pesticide company listed on the New Third Board in Guangdong, and won the first place in the Huizhou Innovation Competition this year with 7 single products of more than 100 people

When it comes to pesticides, many people will say that they are poisonous, and they will avoid them by holding their noses. But in the factory area of Huizhou Yinnong Technology Co., Ltd., you can't smell any medicine. The production line is also fully automated, and workers will not be exposed to pesticides. The pursuit of safe, efficient and low-toxic new formulations of environmentally friendly pesticides is the goal of the company's chairman Qian Xuanzhou. The company was founded more than 10 years ago, and became the first pesticide company listed on the New Third Board in Guangdong Province. It has more than 100 employees, 7 single products, and achieved annual sales of 100 million yuan. This is a typical representative of a small and sophisticated enterprise. This year, he participated in the 2016 Fifth China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (Guangdong Huizhou Division) semi-finals and the third "Kaiju Cup" Huizhou Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition finals and won the first place.

Factory dust and odor removal must go through three-stage treatment

Walking into the factory area of Huizhou Yinnong Technology Co., Ltd., located in Ma'an Town, Huicheng District, you are facing a new building. The company demolished the original office building, and built a new intelligent office building and a professional pesticide formulation research and development center on the original site. Qian Xuanzhou took the reporters around the factory area. The factory area is pleasant, with ponds and basketball courts equipped. If you don't say it is a pesticide company, you would never think of it because you can't smell a pesticide.

Qian Xuanzhou told reporters that many people believe that pesticide companies have an impact on the environment. He believes that such evaluation is unfair to outstanding pesticide companies. Pesticide companies can completely achieve environmental safety. In the early days of its establishment, Yinnong clearly proposed to be an environmentally friendly enterprise and implement the concept of cleaner production in its production design.

There is no smell of pesticides in their factories, and no pesticide particles will be discharged into the environment, because all materials and air contact have exhaust gas collection systems, which are removed by three-stage dust removal such as cloth bags and water curtains. After the smell is processed, it is discharged into the atmosphere.

Qian Xuanzhou is a staunch environmentalist, "I think that I make pesticides to contribute to the environment, because I am using environmentally friendly, low-residue, high-efficiency, low-toxic new pesticides and new formulations of pesticides. It is all water-based pesticides to replace the old pesticides and formulations that are highly toxic and have an impact on the environment. Eliminating them is the real environmental behavior."

At the beginning of the business, multinational companies as opponents

It has been 13 years since Yinnong Company was established in 2003, but Qian Xuanzhou came into contact with the pesticide industry earlier. When he came to Huizhou in 1999, he entered another pesticide company as an investor and manager. He did not expect to become his own boss later. Make pesticides into a lifetime business. If Qian Xuanzhou is really related to pesticides before, it is that he used to be a biology teacher in his hometown in Anhui, both of which are related to plants.

At the beginning of his business, Qian Xuanzhou did a lot of industry surveys and found that the entire pesticide industry has low technical level, backward production conditions, high product toxicity, and greater environmental impact. Such a status quo is not in line with the future development direction of the industry. If Yinnong Technology wants to enter this industry, it must avoid this old path.

At present, there are four major dilemmas in the domestic pesticide industry. The first is that Chinese pesticide preparation companies are highly dispersed, do not have oligarchs, and even have no brands. They rely on price wars to win the market. The second is the low technical content of the products, and the safety and efficacy of the products are far behind imported products. The third is the variety of products produced and simple equipment, which cannot guarantee stable product quality. Fourth, it does not pay much attention to the promotion and promotion of the brand, it is the price. The result of these four major dilemmas is that most Chinese pesticide companies obtain meager profits in the low-end pesticide market, and the mid-to-high end pesticide market is occupied by multinational companies.

Qian Xuanzhou said that at the beginning of his entry into this industry, his wish was to change the status quo of China's pesticide industry and enter the high-end pesticide market. "Our competitors are multinational companies. Therefore, Yinnong Technology has determined that it is safe, efficient and correct. Environmentally friendly' new dosage form route."

The professor came to the factory for experiments and didn’t get into bed for a week

To surpass multinational companies, we must work hard on product technology research and development. At that time, "water-based pesticide formulation" was included in the national "Tenth Five-Year Major Scientific and Technological Research Project" and was undertaken by China Agricultural University. Therefore, the first stop Qian Xuanzhou went to was China Agricultural University.

Here, Qian Xuanzhou stayed for three months. What he did every day was to soak in the laboratory with a group of doctors from China Agricultural University to learn and study the formulation technology of pesticide preparations, to understand the development process of the pesticide industry and the latest scientific research status. . "I was eating with the doctors, playing ball, and doing experiments together. If I don't understand it, I should learn more and ask for advice." Qian Xuanzhou said.

Because of these three months of sleepless research, Yinnong Technology's first "microemulsion" product was born in the laboratory of China Agricultural University. Yinnong Technology has also become the first pesticide manufacturer to promote environmentally friendly new formulation "microemulsions" in China.

Not only did he take the initiative to go out to study, Qian Xuanzhou also invited experts to the company. In 2003, the company was doing a pilot test of pesticide products. The company's technical director and professor of China Agricultural University Wu Xuemin came to the factory in Huizhou and stayed there for half a month. In order to observe and record the results of the experiment at any time, Professor Wu lived in the workshop, and he did not even go to bed for a week. At that time, the environment of the production workshop was very simple, without air conditioning, and there were a lot of mosquitoes. In the difficult environment, they insisted on the passion for technological innovation.
