China's Corn Deep-processing Industry Probably Remain being Restrained in 2012

According to the information from the 5th International Corn Industry Conference (the 5th ICIC), held on 22 Sept. 2011 in Changchun City, Jilin Province, China's corn deep-processing industry may still be restrained by governmental policy in 2012, even for a longer time, according to CCM’s October issue of Corn Products China News.

Firstly, corn's consumption volume in deep-processing industry accounts for over 26% of its total consumption volume in 2011. According to Guidance about Promoting the Healthy Development of Corn Deep-processing Industry (the Guidance) published in 2007, the proportion of corn consumption in deep-processing industry among its total consumption shall be less than 26%. However, according to Mr. Sun, secretary general of China Starch Industry Association, corn's consumption volume in deep-processing industry in 2010 reached about 52 million tonnes, accounting for 28.9% approximately in corn's total consumption. Moreover, he estimated that the proportion in 2011 might get higher. Thus, the government will keep regulating and restricting the corn deep-processing industry in order to reduce the proportion to the object proportion in 2012.

Secondly, China's corn witnesses a little short supply situation. In terms of Mr. Fan, deputy general manager of COFCO Agri-Trading & Logistics Limited, corn's output in 2011 is estimated to reach 181.5 million tonnes, and its consumption volume will reach 181.3 million tonnes and the number will probably get higher in 2012. Since the country needs to replenish its national stock, corn's supply and demand relation is predicted to be tight in 2012.

Besides Mr. Li, director of National Animal Husbandry Service and vice chairman/secretary general of China Feed Industry Association, said in the 5th ICIC: if corn's yield per unit couldn't increase significantly in the next five years, the gap between corn's supply and demand in China would reach 15 million tonnes in 2015. But according to the 12th Five-Year Plan of the Development of National Farming, domestic supply of corn, wheat and rice shall completely satisfy their demand at home by 2015. In order to achieve the goal, Chinese government shall focus on how to increase corn's supply and curb its demand. Unfortunately, deep-processing industry is always the target to be restrained first.

Mr. Li also revealed that the government should strengthen the supervision over deep-processing industry, especially fuel alcohol industry using corn as feedstock, which consumes about 5 million tonnes of corn per year currently. He also suggested that foreign enterprises should be restrained to enter into the corn deep-processing industry, otherwise corn's consumption volume will surge.

Based on the above reasons, it's believed that corn deep-processing industry would be probably restrained to step further in 2012. Mr. Sun disclosed that Ministry of Environmental Protection of China (MEP) would carry out environmental examinations on starch, starch sugar, alcohol and organic acid manufacturers, but detailed examination methods will be separately announced by MEP in the future. After the examinations, MEP will disclose the lists of the qualified manufacturers, and the unlisted ones are not allowed to engage in corn deep-production. Besides, MEP will reject any environmental assessment for any new projects, including the reconstructed or expanded ones, refuse to take any application for environmental examination or provide any certificates of compliance for unlisted manufacturers.

In order to facilitate healthy development of the corn deep-processing industry, especially starch industry, Mr. Sun considered the following measures shall be taken in the future.

1 Capacity expansion and duplicate construction at low levels must be put under rigorous control. The mode of capacity expansion must be shifted toward quality and efficiency improvement.

2 Extend industrial chain and develop products with high added values. Varieties of products with high added value must be increased, and the proportion of products with low added value must be reduced so as to avoid disorderly competitions caused by similar product structures.

3 Raise the threshold and limit the access to the industry.

4 Backward production capacity represented by small enterprises must be limited, while advanced production capacity represented by large enterprises should be encouraged. Enterprises with high consumption, huge deficit and poor environmental performance should be shut down to maximize utilization of resources.

5 Investment in science and technology must be increased, and a scientific system integrating industry and research institutes should be established to encourage independent innovation and ensure healthy development of the industry.

6 More attention should be paid to the bio-industry.

Starch Industry Hot Topics Released by CCM

A report named Starch Industry Hot Topics was released by CCM, which gives you an in-depth analysis on the big events and changes happening in starch industry, including:
- Cases of enterprises integration in starch industry

At present, companies' reorganization is a development trend in starch industry, as more and more small-scale enterprises would be eliminated in the industry due to immature production technologies and weak competitiveness. Restructuring of starch industry is in progress and inefficient production capacities have been gradually washed out from the field. Enterprises integration becomes a future trend for starch enterprises to survive and develop.

- Supply structure and price fluctuation of feedstock

Among different kinds of feedstock, corn accounts for 79.83% of total supply of starch feedstock in China in 2010. Corn price increases in 2010, which is mainly attributed to rapid development of corn deep processing industry and pork storage plan.

- Anti-subsidy investigation into potato starch from EU

On Aug. 30^th, 2010, China begins to run the anti-subsidy investigation into EU's potato-based starch. If this anti-subsidy investigation is successful for China, the import volume of potato-based starch will reduce a lot, and domestic potato processors and peasants will get a more favorable profit margin, which will greatly restore the market share for domestic potato processors.

- Analysis on sustainable development of tapioca-based bio-fuel and tapioca starch
- Commercial production of waxy corn starch
- Genetically modified food policies
- New application of starch in papermaking

Annada's Profit Nearly Triples in H1 2011

On 16 August 2011, Anhui Annada Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. (Annada) reported strong financial results in H1 2011. Its revenue was USD56 million, increasing by 42.70% over the same period last year. Annada's profit reached USD6 million, nearly doubled that of H1 2010. The high revenue and profit growth are mainly due to higher TiO2 selling prices and optimized product structure, according to CCM’s August issue of TiO2 China Monthly Report.

Annada has taken the advantage of global economic recovery and strong demand of TiO2, overcoming the adverse effect of continually rising feedstock prices by increasing product prices in time. The revenue of rutile TiO2 increased by 79.18% thanks to higher prices and sales volume. The gross profit margin of both anatase TiO2 and rutile TiO2 increased by 4.42% year on year.

In H1 2011, the company's product structure was further optimized. The proportion of high-profit rutile TiO2 sales in total revenue increased from 64.54% in H1 2011 to 80.90%, while the proportion of anatase TiO2 sales in total revenue decreased from 35.46% in H1 2010 to 19.10%.

In the same period, Annada has further improved its sales network. As a result, its revenue in the markets of northeastern of China and South China increased and the revenue consolidated in East China market. What's more, the proportion of exports has increased substantially.

On 18 Feb. 2011, Annada issued 28,590 thousand shares through non-public offering to seven specific investors, including its parent company Tongling Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Tonghua Group), in order to raise fund for its 40,000t/a rutile TiO2 technical renovation project.

Annada expects its revenue and profit continue to grow in the second half of 2011, and estimates year-on-year profit increase will be in the range of 190% to 240% in the first nine months of 2011.

Editor’s Note

China's CPI reached record 6.5% in July 2011, indicating that the inflation hasn't been tackled yet. But the PMI in July declined to 50.7%, reaching the lowest in 29 months.

Domestic TiO2 prices started to decrease in August 2011, as China's TiO2 producers have been depressed by the weak demand in June and July. Most producers have benefited from price upsurge in H1 2011, but they may lower their expectations in the second half this year.

The TiO2 downstream companies saw profit decrease in H1 2011, as the costs of TiO2 and other raw materials increased largely in this period.

In order to regulate the coating market, 14 national mandatory standards regarding to coatings have been implemented since 1 August 2011.

As for titanium feedstock, major foreign suppliers took measures to increase production.

TiO2 China Monthly Report, a monthly publication issued by CCM International on 25^th of every month, will penetrate into Chinese TiO₂ market from a global view, deeply analyse TiO2 industrial chain and manufacturers’ competitiveness and trace the latest industrial hotspots and dynamics, aiming to provide the most valuable information about China’s TiO2 industry.
