China to import large quantity of GM corn from Brazil

In Sept. 2013, the total import value of corn products in China witnessed a MoM decrease of 41% while the total export value increased sharply by 171% MoM.
              
According to China Customs, in the first nine months of 2013, China's furfural export value was just USD17.0 million, down 47.4% year on year, due to decreases in both the export volume and the export price of the product in this period.

The ex-works price of MSG in China has witnessed a downtrend since Sept. 2013, due to oversupply, weak demand and insufficient cost support.

According to data from CCM, the ex-works price of DDGS in China declined remarkably in Oct. 2013, mainly due to the decreasing demand from downstream industries and the increasing supply of DDGS.

On Oct. 11, 2013, Baolingbao announced that the company had obtained a new patent——a preparation method for the co-production of high purity IMO and alcohol, with a 20-year validity period.For every tonne of IMO produced by this technology, the total production cost will be reduced by 10%.

Recently, Longlive Bio-technology has been committed to developing cellulosic ethanol. On Nov. 13, 2013, the company's project on processing 200,000t/a of straw was approved to be established in Dezhou, Shandong Province, which is mainly to produce cellulosic ethanol with a capacity of 30,000t/a. As early as Oct. 2013, the company decided to build a subsidiary in Denmark to improve its R&D of cellulosic ethanol.

On Oct. 24, 2013, the US Department of Commerce (USDC) announced that it would start anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations on MSG from China and Indonesia, aiming to define whether these products have threatened the MSG industry in the US.

The domestic market price of corn oil remained low during Aug.-Oct., 2013, and is estimated to continue its decline in the near future.    

According to CCM's data, the domestic market price of furfural has enjoyed an uptrend during Aug.-Oct. 2013, mainly due to tight supply, increasing demand and increasing costs.    

The People's Government of Jilin Province decided to start in advance the government's corn purchase for temporary reserve in Songyuan City, Jilin Province from Nov. 8, 2013, which prevented the market price of corn in Songyuan from decreasing.    

China's total import quota for sucrose will remain 1.945 million tonnes in 2014. However, it remains unknown whether the sucrose import volume continues to be large in 2014 as in the current year.

Baolingbao competes with QHT by implementing low-price strategy on FOS sales

Baolingbao Biology Co., Ltd. (Baolingbao), a leading manufacturer of functional sugar in China that entered the domestic fructooligosaccharide (FOS) market in 2011. The company implemented low-price strategy to sell its FOS product, which can increase its product's competitiveness to compete with the one of Quantum Hi-Tech (China) Biological Co., Ltd. (QHT), a major FOS manufacturer in China, according to Sweetener China News issued by CCM in September.

As a new FOS manufacturer in China, Baolingbao tried its best to increase the sales volume of its FOS in recent two years (Note: Baolingbao invested USD24.35 million to establish its FOS project with a capacity of 10,000 t/a in 2009, and launched its FOS in Oct. 2010). Thanks to the low-price strategy, the sales volume of FOS of Baolingbao witnessed a sharp increase in recent two years, which brought more profit to the company. For example, the operating profit of its FOS business was USD0.97 million in H1 2013, increasing by 1355% compared with that in H1 2011.

Expressed by QHT, due to several factors, including low-price strategy of Baolingbao, the revenue of its FOS business showed a slight decline, from USD11.06 million in H1 2012 to USD10.81 million in H1 2013. But the company also indicated that it would rather keep the FOS price unchanged with high quality to attract new customers and retain old customers than adopt the low-price strategy. Based on this, the company tried its best to not decline the FOS price in H1 2013, which retained the gross profit margin at a relatively high level. The company believed that its idea was right. Under the impact of low-price strategy of Baolingbao, most of its downstream customers still chose to continue the cooperations with QHT. In addition, according to QHT, new customers such as Dumex, an international infants' and children's nutrition company, investigated QHT to show their willingness to cooperate.

Maybe the low-price strategy is a good way for a company to enjoy good sales performance in a short term, but it is not helpful to support the company's long-term development. And it is the same with the industry. Take Baolingbao for example. Despite the increase in their products' sales volume, the strategy also eroded the gross profit margin of FOS of Baolingbao. Data from the 2013 semi-annual report of the company showed that its functional oligosaccharide business which included FOS and isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO), was just 24.69% in H1 2013, which was much lower than the one of QHT. The gross profit margin of FOS of QHT was as high as 46.29% in the same period. For domestic FOS manufacturers, it is believed that the correct method is to cultivate a larger downstream consumption market, to avoid reduction of their profit when confronted with the low-price strategy implemented by rivals. Actually, not only QHT but also Baolingbao showed their confidence in the good prospect of the domestic FOS industry. Because of the low consumption volume in domestic downstream industries and its health care effect, FOS will be added by more and more downstream enterprises in China to their products.

In H1 2013, the Chinese government has released a series of policies to strengthen the management on the quality standards of home-made dairy products, especially the home-made infant formula products, in order to strengthen the confidence of the Chinese public in home-made infant formula, as well as strengthen the competitiveness of home-made infant formula (for more information please refer to Sweeteners China News Vol.3 July Issue, p15, Strong management on infant formula may improve indirectly consumption of FOS in China). If the consumption volume of home-made infant formula continues to increase, it can bring more opportunities to domestic FOS producers.

It is suggested that domestic FOS manufacturers should grasp the opportunities to explore the domestic dairy industry, rather than snatch the existing market share from other FOS manufacturers in China.
