  API

1. Tylosin Tartrate $27/KGS

After Qingdao VIV and Nanchang API exhibitions, Shandong Lukang, Ningxia Taiyixin and Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. adjusted their prices one after another. The actual transaction price can be negotiated with a single inquiry.

2. Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride $21/KGS

The quotation of Kaifeng Pharmaceutical and Inner Mongolia Grint is stable. There are some small domestic manufacturers who ship goods at a low price, and the quality is not enough for export. Therefore, the quotation of Kaifeng Pharmaceutical and Inner Mongolia grint will not be greatly affected. Dafeng Natural Goods have channels to get the products, and its price is still the most expensive in the market at present. The price gap of Grint and Kaifeng Pharmaceutical was gradually narrowed, and there is a need to find a single procurement discussion. In addition, the new plant of Shengxue Dacheng Inner Mongolia plans is to ship oxytetracycline hydrochloride at the end of this month, which is cheaper than Kaifeng Pharmaceutical and Grint. Samples can be sent to the customer after shipment without GMP.
