Baolingbao approved to produce and sell IMO as new feed additive

On Aug. 27, 2012, Baolingbao Biology Co., Ltd. (Baolingbao) announced that its isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO) had been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) to be produced, sold and used as a new feed additive in China, bringing a new profit source to Baolingbao, according to CCM’s  September issue of Corn Products China News.

Baolingbao plans to make some changes in its 50,000t/a food grade IMO production line to produce feed grade IMO as the production line's capacity is not fully utilized and shares a lot in production process with feed grade IMO, revealed Miss Lv from Baolingbao's Bond Department. In addition, according to Miss Lv, the company is undergoing procedures for a production license for the product, which is estimated to be put into market in Nov. 2012. 

IMO is promising as feed additive because it is a good substitute for antibiotics and Chinese government is phasing out the use of antibiotics species applied in feed. IMO has functions on animals such as accelerating the propagation of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the growth of noxious bacteria in intestinal tract, speeding the digestion of nutrition and improving immunity. 

Baolingbao will get benefit from feed grade IMO thanks to not only its large potential market but also some policy preferences.

 

According to MOA, Baolingbao's feed grade IMO can be only applied in compound feed of egg-laying hens and the application scope of the product is 0.2%-0.4%. Since domestic output of compound feed of egg-laying fowl, among which egg-laying hens part take up the most part, is quite huge–25.2 million tonnes in 2011 according to China Feed Industry Association, the demand for feed grade IMO is quite charming. 

 

As to policy preferences, Baolingbao is protected as the unique feed grade IMO producer in the monitoring period years, because other enterprises are not allowed to produce or import feed grade IMO during the period according to Administrative Regulations on Feed and Feed Additive implemented on May 1, 2012. Additionally, feed grade IMO is exempted from value added tax during the monitoring period, said Miss Lv.

 

Overall, Baolingbao estimated that feed grade IMO would bring the company about USD0.88 million-USD1.75 million (10%-20% of the total net profit of Baolingbao in 2011) newly added net profit in 2013. 

Actually, Baolingbao wants to profit more with feed grade IMO. "We want to utilize the fiber part, protein part and corn embryo of the side product of starch sugar to produce feed, then mix it with feed grade IMO to produce oligosaccharide feed." said Miss. Lv. On Aug. 16, Baolingbao announced that one of its researches, Producing Oligosaccharide Feed with Side Products of Starch Sugar, successfully passed assessment. And Baolingbao is talking about cooperation with a domestic feed producer. If Baolingbao can successfully produce oligosaccharide feed, it will probably get more profit.

Domestic MSG Industry Suffers A Lower Profit Level in 2011

Based on the 2011 annual report of Meihua Holdings Group Co., Ltd. (Meihua Group) and the Announcement of Annual Results for the Year Ended 31 Dec. 2011 of Fufeng Group Limited (Fufeng Group), top 2 monosodium glutamate (MSG) producers in China, as well as CCM International's latest report, Production and Market of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) in China, published in Feb. 2012, it's found that China's MSG industry suffered a lower profit level in 2011 than 2010, majorly due to the significant increase in raw material cost, according to CCM International’s April issue of Corn Products China News.

In fact, the gross margins of Meihua Group and Fufeng Group both saw a decrease in 2011 over those in 2010, majorly caused by the poor performance of their MSG businesses. Specifically, the gross margin of Meihua Group's MSG and GA (glutamic acid) business declined to 22.8% in 2011 from 32.9% in 2010. And that of Fufeng Group's MSG segment including products of MSG, GA, fertilizers, threonine, corn oil, branched-chain amino acid, chicken powder, starch sweeteners, etc, also declined to 16.1% in 2011 from 22.7% in 2010. (TABLE) 

As a matter of fact, the larger increase scale of raw material cost than that of MSG price is the key factor for MSG's lower profit level in 2011. In line with Fufeng Group, its average sales price of MSG only rose by 1% to USD1,250/t in 2011 over that in 2010 (FIGURE), while the average market price of MSG's key raw material, corn starch, grew by 16.5% to USD494/t in 2011 according to CCM International, resulting in the profit decline in its MSG business.

 

But actually, MSG's demand in 2011 performed well in accordance with CCM International's MSG report: its domestic apparent consumption volume enjoyed a 4.3% increase to over 2 million tonnes compared with that in 2010. In the mean time, its export volume also saw a 40.0% increase to about 290,000 tonnes. So it's believed that there were other reasons to explain the small increase scale of MSG price, such as Fufeng Group's low price strategy.

 

In accordance with Fufeng Group's claim, it intentionally adopted low price strategy in 2011, in order to accelerate the elimination of small and inferior MSG producers in order to further increase industry concentration and Fufeng Group's market share in the industry. As Fufeng Group is the largest MSG producer in China, together with its 30% market share in domestic MSG industry in 2011 as it claimed, Fufeng Group's low sales price restrained the overall average market price of MSG to head up. Therefore, small producers without cost advantage were driven to suspend or even stop production for the low profit. And in fact, through this low price strategy, MSG's sales volume in Fufeng Group enjoyed a 25% increase in 2011, amounting to 615,630 tonnes compared with that in 2010.

Fufeng Group believes that the company will enjoy absolute competitive advantages and maintain its leadership in domestic MSG market in the future, because the company's annual MSG production capacity will increase to 1 million t/a by Q2 2012. And the company plans to keep adopting the low price strategy in 2012, trying to further increase the company's market share. 

All in all, it's believed that MSG's industry concentration will keep increasing, with market share focused in several leading producers, like Meihua Group and Fufeng Group. By then, MSG's profit will increase to a reasonable level and become relatively stable. Besides, governmental restriction can facilitate the progress. In view of MSG's high pollution and overcapacity situation, Chinese government has encouraged to increase the product's industry concentration through eliminating inferior capacity in 2010 and 2011. Actually, in 2010, about 234,000t/a of MSG capacity was eliminated by government, accounting for 8.2% of the total capacity all over the country. Moreover, according to the 2011 edition of Guideline Catalogue for Industrial Restructuring (the Guideline) published in April 2011 by the National Development and Reform Commission, MSG industry will maintain being restrained from 2011 to 2015.

Demand of China’s Monosodium Glutamate MSG to Keep Growing

With the rising demand from the downstream industries of MSG, China's MSG industry has experienced fast development these years. Up to 2011, MSG capacity has increased to nearly 3,000,000t/a, while its output has risen to over 2,300,000 tonnes, with about 5% CAGR compared with that in 2007.

Although China's MSG industry has enjoyed great growth in recent years, there are still many problems for China’s MSG industry at the same time, such as more policy pressures from the Chinese government, tight supply of raw materials and low profit in MSG business. Then what is the status of China's MSG producers currently? Are there still any expansion plans for MSG in the coming five years?

As to methods of MSG production, most of the China's large-scale MSG producers have GA (Glutamic acid) process in MSG production and produce MSG through fermentation currently, while lots of small-scale MSG producers without GA process make MSG directly from outsourcing GA by chemical synthesis method, and there are also some small-scale production lines with GA process. With stricter environmental policies, what will different scale producers of MSG do in China in the future?

A large amount of MSG is consumed in China every year. At present, MSG is mainly applied in cooking and food industry as condiment. Nevertheless, it is well-known to all that more and more people are in favor of other condiment products in China at present. Will China’s MSG industry shrink with other condiment products appearing? What will the MSG consumption pattern be shaped? Will the demand for MSG in China grow continually? And what about the demand from abroad? Are there still any opportunities for investors to invest in MSG industry?
