Domestic stevia sweetener market may develop slowly in future


Domestic stevia sweetener market developed at a slow speed during past years, and it is predicted that this trend will continue in the near future, according to CCM International’s August issue of Sweeteners China News.

In fact, China is the biggest production country of stevia sweetener in the world, with capacity and output coming to 20,400t/a and about 3,500 tonnes respectively in 2011. From 2007 to 2011, the capacity posted a CAGR up to 35.1%, and the output also grew at a CAGR of 21.8% due to the rapidly developing oversea stevia sweetener market. However, the domestic stevia sweetener market has not developed as rapidly as expected. For example, the consumption volume of stevia sweeteners was about 720 tonnes in China in 2011, only with a CAGR of 4.6% during 2007 to 2011. Moreover, the stevia sweeteners consumed in China are low-purity in general, since their price is lower than that of high purity.

 Three main reasons may explain why domestic stevia sweetener market developed at a slow speed during the past years.  

Actually, because of the strong demand from abroad, many domestic stevia sweetener producers focus on the oversea market, which can be reflected from the export volume of stevia sweeteners: China exported about 80% of its total output of stevia sweeteners in 2011. Besides, some new players of stevia sweetener industry are also attracted by the strong demand from abroad. For the latest example, Hunan Weijia Biotechnology Co., Ltd, a plant extract producer in China, signed up a stevia sweetener project with capacity of 500t/a in March 2012. And the company expressed that the project is for meeting the strong demand from overseas stevia sweetener market. Thus, the promotion of stevia sweeteners from domestic stevia sweetener producers isn't enough currently. And the popularity of stevia sweeteners is low in downstream (food and beverage) companies and consumers in China, which further leads to the small consumption.  

Besides, according to an insider from GLG Life Tech Corporation (GLG), one major stevia sweetener producer in China, domestic downstream companies tended to choose high intensity sweeteners (HIS) with low price during the past years, such as cyclamate, acesulfame-K and aspartame. In fact, according to CCM International's Price Update, the average ex-factory price of  steviol glycosides (RA95) has been higher than those of other HIS in China, and its latest quotation was USD133,363/t in June 2012. In addition, according to CCM International's investigation, the total consumption of cyclamate, acesulfame-K and aspartame was about 27,300 tonnes, accounting for 90.9% of the national HIS consumption in 2011, while the consumption of stevia sweeteners was only about 700 tonnes.  

At last, the government hasn't attached great importance on the development of domestic stevia sweetener industry. According to GLG, the company has enjoyed some preferential policies issued by the government only because it is a high-tech enterprise and owns patents of stevia seeds, while the government hasn't launched any preferential policies specifically for stevia sweetener industry during the past years. Thus, some small-scaled stevia sweetener producers may even have no chance to enjoy the preferential policies at all.

In fact, combined with consumers' growing awareness of natural and safe foods in many countries, the room for stevia sweeteners' demand increase will be huge in future. However, due to the demand from oversea market may continue to increase and the price of stevia sweeteners may still be too high for domestic downstream industry, the domestic stevia sweetener producers may remain their focus on overseas market while neglect domestic market, which may go on bringing negative impact to domestic stevia sweetener market in the near future.

China's biomaterial industry to benefit from new tax policy


More than 95% enterprises will greatly enjoy the convenient policy by extending declaration period, enlarging the export rebate and tax exemption scope and simplifing procedures of export rebate declaration, according to CCM International’s August issue of Biomaterials China News.

Declaration period is greatly extended from 90 days to 470 days at most. According to the former related regulation, enterprises must apply for export rebate in 90 days from customs clearance, or related enterprises won't gain the returned tax. Now, the new policy regulates that the declaration period is from the day of customs clearance next month to April 30 of next year, so the declaration period can be 150 days at least and 470 days at most.

Ms. Yang, Manager of Xiamen Guozheng Tax Office, said that due to debt chain, goods receiver's delay in issuing the tax invoice and many other factors, but many enterprises can not collect adequate materials to finish declaration and fail to gain export rebate. At last, the export rebate on exported goods can not be gained. What's more, these exported goods aren't used to sell in domestic market and extra taxes on them have to be paid. And now, even though enterprises miss the declaration period, these exported goods won't be used to sell in domestic market which will be suitable for tax exemption. In this context, extending declaration period can relieve enterprises' burden.

Apart from the extending declaration period, the export rebate and tax exemption scope of export goods are also enlarged.

Former regulation has set four categories of outsourcing products that can be considered as the enterprise self-produced products entitled to enjoy the export rebate, but restrict limits are stipulated, such as outsourcing product's name, performance, model that must be consistent with the enterprise self-produced products. Outsourcing products must use the enterprises' registered trademarks or be provided by foreign enterprises that can be used by domestic enterprises, etc. Now, based on the four categories, new policy relaxes the restrictions. For those who have operated continuously for two years or more, have gained the qualification of VAT general taxpayer, have the tax credit rating of level A, and have sales value for last year of over USD78.5 million (RMB500 million), their outsourcing products just need to have a correlation to the enterprise self-produced products can be considered as the enterprise self-produced products to apply for export rebate.

Some tax experts think this stipulation is an encouragement for large exporters, which can help them increase their market share in the international market. Currently, many domestic biomaterial enterprises are facing the problem of capacity shortage, such as Wuhan Huali Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. If they receive an order that out of their capacity, they will try to outsource products to hold the customers. Before the new policy, the outsourcing products can't be applied for export rebate, but now they can.

Besides, the procedures of export rebate declaration are greatly simplified. For example, enterprises don't need to offer verification sheet for customs clearance, and administrative permission projects are sharply decreased. The new policy has canceled a rule for small or newly established enterprises that small or newly enterprises don't need to wait for 12 months to gain tax rebate. Mr. Zhu, Customs Declarant of Shandong Fuwin New Material Co., Ltd., one of the main PBS producers, thinks these new policies can help increase biomaterial enterprises' competitiveness, as they can have more cash and less loan, especially for biomaterial industry in which the investment is great."

The publication of these new tax policies is under the depressed situation of foreign trade. In Feb. 2012, Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China and State Administration of Taxation have sent out research team to Shenzhen City, Xiamen City, Hainan Province, etc., to investigate the situation of foreign trade and economic development and listen to the opinion of export enterprises. And then, Wang Qishan, Vice Premier of State Council of People's Republic of China, said, "Strive to make the annual growth rate of foreign trade reach 10%." While, in H1 2012, China's total foreign trade value is USD1,839.84 billion, up 8% year on year. Thanks to the depressed macroeconomic conditions, the Chinese government may publish more stimulus policies, and China's biomaterial industry will benefit more.

Chile's Agricultural Business to Grow Fast


Driven by strong demand for its fruits, Chile will embrace a rosy prospect of its crop protection market, as it has concluded more and more agricultural trade agreements with other countries, according to CCM International’s July issue of South America Crop Protection Monthly Report.
  
At the end of June 2012, both Chile and South Korea claimed that they have signed a trade agreement for blueberry. According to the agreement, Chilean blueberry will have the chance to be exported to South Korea from July 15, 2012. Nearly at the same time, China agreed to double the trade with Chile to USD60 billion by 2015, including export deals for produces. All these facts are an indication of the agricultural boost in Chile in the near future.  
 
Produces especially the fruits from Chile are attractive around the world thanks to its strict agricultural standard in South America. Its fresh and processed agricultural produces are certified by Good Agriculture Practices (GAP). All the inputs used must be approved by official authorities, which has obligated use of only agrochemical with specific recommendations for each crop. These must be specified on the product's label. Through its policies, Chile dedicates itself to supplying produces which meet international food safety standards, so as to protect consumers and the environment.
 
Recently, fruit exporting business is the third exporting business in Chile. The total export value of fruit has been up to USD4.9 billion in 2011 from USD3.2 billion in 2007. Wherein, the grape exporting business accounts for the main part of the fruit exporting business, which valued at USD1.5 billion in 2011. Indeed, the grape planting area in Chile has been increasing gradually as the exporting demand of grape improves.

Pesticides in Chile are mainly formulations imported from other countries. The historical import data of pesticide can show the rising trend of Chilean pesticide market, with pesticide import value following fruit export value dynamic in the past years. Take the year of 2009 as a typical example, because of the outbreak of the worldwide economic crisis, global demand for fruits was inevitably weakened. Therefore, the fruit export value of Chile declined sharply in 2009, and pesticide import value was falling in response. Among different pesticide varieties, fungicides will be in the spotlight in Chilean agrochemical industry thanks to the increasing demand for fruit in Chile, as it can be widely used in fruit planting, storage and transporting.
 
In Chile, low import taxes caused the increasing import volume of pesticides from other countries such as China. There are a few formulations from local manufacturers, as it is difficult to compete with other countries that have free trade agreements with Chile. Therefore, most of the imported pesticides are finished products, with a small proportion of active ingredients. There is only one main local formulation manufacturer, which has very modern facilities and also manufactures for export. Some local formulation manufacturers focus on manufacturing basically sulfur-based dust and WP formulations, as well as cupric pesticides. As the export demand for Chilean produce increases, there will be the coexistence of opportunity and crisis for the local pesticide manufacturers in the near future.

Besides, Chilean agricultural planting development will also become the grow engine in its crop protection market.

Now Chile has focused its efforts on becoming a specialties market, with a broad agricultural variety allowed by its fortunate geography and climate. Currently, Chile not only does the research on new possibilities in crops, or fruit which may be historically unusual, but also tries its best to increase its yield and production through the planting technology.

Zhejiang Wynca Finally Wins the Long-run Glyphosate Anti-dumping Case


Zhejiang Wynca Chemical Industry Group Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Wynca), a leading glyphosate producer in China, announced on 24 July, 2012 that it has finally won the glyphosate anti-dumping case accused by the Council of the European Union (the CEU) since 2000. Thus Zhejiang Wynca becomes the first domestic company to challenge the unfair trade remedy investigation initiated by the CEU and gained two trials' victory, according to CCM International’s latest issue of Crop Protection China News.

The winning of the glyphosate anti-dumping case has greatly cheered up domestic glyphosate production enterprises, especially Zhejiang Wynca. The company now believes that it is worth laying 12 years' effort to cope with the anti-dumping case because the winning has made a good demonstration effect to all of domestic glyphosate producers who may face anti-dumping investigation in the future and it has also helped domestic glyphosate producers set up confidence in exploring market in the EU.

Even so, Zhejiang Wynca has still paid great price on the anti-dumping case because of the long-run lawsuit which has made it almost lose the glyphosate market shares in the EU in the past few years. According to the financial report of Zhejiang Wynca in 2011, although its revenue in overseas market in this period reached USD286.38 million, accounting for nearly 40% of its total revenue, its revenue of glyphosate exported to the EU accounted for a very tiny part of the revenue in overseas market. Now, as the company has won the anti-dumping case, it believed that its market expansion of glyphosate in the EU will be much smoother.

However, the market exploring in the EU may not be as easy as what Zhejiang Wynca believes. It is heard that the CEU is not resigned to give up but still preparing launching trade remedy investigations by itself.

In the past decade, domestic glyphosate has been facing anti-dumping investigations in overseas markets. Owing to the lower cost of the production of domestic glyphosate, the more competitive price of domestic glyphosate compared to those products in some other countries has threatened the local producers. In addition to the EU, Brazil and Australia have ever levied anti-dumping duties on Chinese glyphosate. In a bid to protect domestic glyphosate industry, most countries would set up trade barrier with the name of anti-dumping to charge extra duties on the glyphosate originated from China. It is becoming a usual measure for these countries used to protect local glyphosate industry. Eyeing the intensive competition in overseas markets, this kind of protection measure will be used much more frequently in the future.

Events review

In Feb. 2000, the European Union (the EU) started to levy 48% anti-dumping duty over glyphosate originating from China.

In Feb. 2003, the EU initiated merger investigation towards Chinese glyphosate. Zhejiang Wynca, as the representative of domestic glyphosate industry, responded to the prosecution exclusively.

In Sept. 2004, the EU decided to levy 29.9% of anti-dumping duty over Chinese glyphosate.

In Dec. 2004, Zhejiang Wynca claimed that it appealed against the decision of the EU and decided to prosecute to the decision to the European Court of First Instance.

In May 2009, the EU claimed to suspend levying anti-dumping duty over Chinese glyphosate for a period of nine months.

On 17 June, 2009, the European Court of First Instance made a judgment to cancel levying final anti-dumping duties over the glyphosate from Zhejiang Wynca.

In Aug. 2009, the CEU sued the verdict of the European Court of First Instance to the European High Court of Justice.

On 19 July, 2012, European High Court of Justice made the final judgment that Zhejiang Wynca finally won the lawsuit.
