Webinar Background

Starch webinar by CCM International is coming soon! This time we focus on the related policies and their impacts.

Governmental policy is one of the key factors that influents the development of an industry. Series rules and regulations have been released since 2007 to regulate the Chinese starch market. Important regulations include Guidance about Promoting the Healthy Development of Corn Deep-processing Industry in 2007, the Emergency Notice by National Development and Reform Committee (NDRC) in November, 2010, the 2011 editions of Guideline Catalogue for Industrial Restructuring, etc. Some of them have been implemented for several years and what have they brought to the Chinese starch industry? How about the latest one?

 In this webinar, we’d like to dissect the main contents of some key regulations and talk about their impacts on corn starch, potato starch and cassava starch.

Companies like Tate & Lyle, Roquette and 10 more other companies have already joined us. For further information or to register, please contact econtact@cnchemicals.com or view our website.

NDRC Regulates Phosphate Industry Development

The 2011 edition Guiding Catalog of Industrial Structure Adjustment (the Guiding Catalog 2011), released by National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) of China, effectively regulates China’s phosphate industry.

The Guiding Catalog 2011 divides all industries into different types of encouraged, restricted and eliminated. Among the encouraged industries, NDRC’s encouragements are:

-- exploiting and utilizing low grade phosphorus ore and its associated ores;

-- full heat recovery thermal phosphoric acid production;

-- setting up large-scale production line of calcium phosphate with defluorination device;

-- comprehensive ardealite utilization and wet phosphoric acid purification device with capacity above 100,000t/a;

Besides, NDRC also encourages phosphoric acid iron battery materials. Meanwhile, NDRC restricts the development of some phosphate chemicals with characters of overcapacity, high energy consumption and heavy environmental pollution. The restricted type related to phosphate industry includes:

-- new sulfuric acid production lines with unit production capacity below 300,000t/a (sulfur burning process) and 200,000t/a (pyrite-based process);

-- new plants of STPP, PCl3, P2S5, feed grade calcium hydrogen phosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, etc.;

-- new production line of yellow phosphorus with unit capacity below 30,000t/a;

-- new production device of ammonium phosphate fertilizer;

-- new production lines of glyphosate, triazophos.

The eliminated types related to phosphate chemicals are some inefficient capacity includes unit production capacity that is below 100,000t/a (both sulfur burning and pyrite-based); unit capacity below 5,000t/a and the devices which can not meet the requirements listed in Entry Criteria; unit capacity below 10,000t/a (STPP), 5,000t/a (sodium hexametaphosphate), 5,000t/a (PCl3) and 30,000t/a (feed grade calcium hydrogen phosphate).

The following highlights are covered in the first issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report:

-China encourages low grade phosphorus ore exploitation.

-Large phosphorus ore exploiters are benefit from policy switch.

-Yellow phosphorus export still sluggish without special export tariff.

-China continues to eliminate yellow phosphorus inefficient production capacity in 2011.

-MIIT is to promulgate Entry Criteria for Phosphate and Ammonium Production in 2011.

-Phosphate fertilizer industry is to see industrial integration, with the regulation of the Development Plan of Phosphate Fertilizer Industry.

-Enjoying rich phosphorus reserve, Leibo County strengthens phosphorus chemical industry development.

-NDRC regulates phosphate industry development in Guiding Catalog of Industrial Structure Adjustment (2011 edition).

-WengFu Group extends its product portfolio by cooperating with Onoda Chemical.

-Hubei Xingfa cooperates with Dequest to develop phosphate chemicals.

-Phosphorus ore and yellow phosphorus see decreased export volume with soaring prices.

-Prices of phosphate chemicals keep stable in August while see uptrend in the coming months.
