In March 2026, WHUCHEM participated in CAC 2026 in Shanghai through its Han Fei Biotechnology team, presenting the Pepaid™ amino acid and peptide series under the theme “NEO Agriculture — The Future Starts with Amino Acid & Peptide.”

A global crop-nutrition audience

WHUCHEM presented biostimulant ingredients and application information at the show. Over three days, the team met with fertilizer manufacturers, distributors and agri-tech companies from around the world and discussed preliminary cooperation opportunities.

The Pepaid™ product matrix

The Pepaid™ selection guide covered both animal-origin and plant-origin product lines.

Animal-origin grades included Pepaid™ EA80 and EA80-LMW high-activity powders, plus Pepaid™ HA20L and HA20-LLC liquids for foliar and drip-irrigation applications. The plant-origin range included Pepaid™ EP60, a corn-protein enzymatic hydrolysate for plant-origin crop-nutrition formulations.

Products are characterized by active content, free amino acid content and organic nitrogen so buyers can compare grades consistently. Specialty biostimulants including Folcisteine and Rutin were also featured.

EA80-uLMW: the show highlight

The standout product at CAC 2026 was Pepaid™ EA80-uLMW, an ultra-low-molecular-weight protein hydrolysate. Its average molecular weight is 0.5–0.7 kDa for that grade.

The grade is positioned for crop-nutrition and root-zone formulation evaluation, including abiotic-stress programmes. WHUCHEM recommends evaluating solubility, dilution and equipment compatibility, then establishing crop response through representative trials under actual growing conditions.

Building the next stage

WHUCHEM's biostimulant capabilities are supported by Han Fei Biotechnology's R&D and manufacturing in Jiangxi, China, together with the group's production and supply network.

CAC 2026 was an important step in the group's global expansion. The team is following up with fertilizer companies, agri-tech firms and distributors from multiple countries.
