ABOUT LIMIN CHEMICAL
Yancheng Limin Chemical Co., Ltd.
Yancheng Limin Chemical Co., Ltd.
The story of Limin Group began more than three decades ago, on the fertile soil of China. It was an era calling for agricultural modernization, when food security became a national imperative. Our founding was no coincidence—it was a response to the times: harnessing technology to protect crops, and responsibility to safeguard the granary. From a small team of dozens to a global enterprise spanning five continents, we have always believed that agriculture is not merely an industry—it is the foundation of human survival.
Our R&D centers in China, Europe, South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa employ over 200 scientists, tackling challenges in green synthesis, microencapsulation, and biological pest control. With more than 150 core patents, Limin commands a strong voice in the global agrochemical sector, and our involvement in FAO/WHO international pesticide standards has brought "Chinese innovation" to the center of the world stage.
Today, Limin products serve over 80 countries, protecting more than 6.6 million hectares of farmland. We are not just providers of crop protection—we are guardians of global food security. From the arid lands of Africa, to the highlands of South America, to the rice fields of Southeast Asia—our footprints and commitments are everywhere.
