Dear Shareholders,
The past year was a time of profound loss for Thai people with the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit The Queen Mother. On behalf of the Board of Directors, the management, and employees of Thai Central Chemical Public Company Limited respectfully expresses our deepest condolences and heartfelt gratitude for Her Majesty’s immeasurable benevolence toward the Thai throughout decades. Her Majesty’s royal initiatives in promoting handicrafts and supplementary occupations for rural communities, preserving Thai textiles, and conserving natural resources, her grace, dedication and exemplary conduct will forever remain in the hearts of the Thai people.
2025 was another challenging year for the Company due to several adverse factors affecting our operations. These included volatility in raw material prices that directly impacted production costs, declining in agricultural produce prices that reduced farmers’ purchasing power and unpredictable weather conditions such as floods and droughts that disrupted normal farming activities. In response, the Company implemented various strategic measures to mitigate these impacts. These included enhancing efficiency in supply chain and inventory management, exploring new markets for our products, conducting research and development of new fertilizer formulas customized to specific crops and organizing sales promotion campaigns designed to meet customers’ needs.
Through the Company’s efforts and implementation of above strategies, we were able to maintain satisfactory performance. In 2025, the profit attributable to owners of parent company of THB 1,460 million, 0.55 % decreased compared with the previous year. Further details and explanations of the Company’s operating results are presented in the Management Discussion and Analysis section of the Annual Report.
This year is expected to be even more challenging due to ongoing uncertainties in the global environment, particularly international conflicts in the Middle East which are anticipated to have significant impacts on the global economy. The Company will closely monitor these developments and will manage risks carefully by adopting flexible strategies to mitigate potential impacts on our operations.
In the long term, the Company remains committed to our vision of being the first choice of growers. We are dedicated to ensuring that all stakeholders are affected as little as possible by our operations. The Company will continue to play an active role in supporting sustainable development and creating lasting value for Thai farmers.
Mr. Hideo Hatada
Corporate Board Chairman
