BEIJING, CHINA and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL, October 27, 2021 – ADAMA Ltd. (the “Company”)
(SZSE 000553), today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period
ended September 30, 2021.
Ignacio Dominguez, President and CEO of ADAMA, said, “The third quarter was a challenging
one for the global crop protection industry, including our company. While our sales continue to grow
strongly, supported by continued high crop prices and robust farmer demand for our products, we
are facing significant challenges on the cost and supply side. Global logistics and supply lines
remain severely constrained, exacerbating the already stretched supply situation in many key
products, further driving up raw material and intermediate procurement costs. These market
imbalances continue to weigh on our profit margins, as the ever-competitive global market is proving
slow to pass on the increased costs through price rises. Despite the challenges, our company is
continuing to grow, raise prices, improve our portfolio and the quality of our business, and keep a
tight rein on expenses, as we navigate through this volatile and uncertain time."
