Price Adjustment Notice for Xanthan Gum and Agar Products

Date: March 27, 2026

To: Our Valued Customers

From: CAG Hydrocolloids

Dear Valued Partners

Due to recent international market dynamics, we are experiencing significant and sustained increases in raw material and energy costs. These external factors have directly impacted our production expenses.

To ensure the continued supply of high-quality products and maintain our standards of service, CAG Hydrocolloids must implement a price adjustment effective March 27, 2026, as follows:

Xanthan Gum Products (including 80-mesh and 200-mesh grades): The price will increase by USD 130 per metric ton based on previous quotation levels.
Agar Products: Prices have also been adjusted. Please contact your CAG sales representative for specific information regarding the new pricing for each agar product.

We understand the impact of price changes and sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued partnership. Should raw material and energy costs ease in the future, we will promptly notify you of any corresponding adjustments.

For detailed quotations, orders, or any questions, please reach out to your dedicated CAG sales representative.

Thank you for your trust and cooperation.

Sincerely

CAG Hydrocolloids
