China to largely support 2013 spring production

According to the news from the Ministry of Finance of China (MFC) on 21 Jan., 2013, it has allocated USD19.46 billion of subsidy to provincial governments (including local governments in autonomous regions and municipalities) for the support of spring production in 2013, including USD2.4 billion of direct grain purchase subsidy and USD17.06 billion of comprehensive subsidy of agricultural means of production.

Additionally, aiming to support local governments to better complete the payment of direct grain purchase subsidy, the MFC allocated USD5.02 billion of grain risk fund (a special fund used to ensure the stabilization of grain price and the normal flow order of grain in domestic market) to local governments. Adding up the grain risk fund raised by local governments, the total fund reached USD6.08 billion.

Aiming to ensure grain safety, China has increased the investment in agricultural production year by year. Total investment in agriculture in 2012 reached USD195.65 billion, up 18.04% over that in 2011.

Such a large investment had finally gained a good return in 2012. According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, China's total grain output in 2012 enjoyed a ninth growth in the past nine years, reaching 589.57 million tonnes and up 3.2% over that in 2011.

Moreover, the annual average income of farmers in this period also witnessed great growth, reaching USD1,260.67, up 10.7% over that in 2011.

Eyeing the growing population and the gradually shrinking of arable land, China has done a lot of work in improving grain output and stimulated the planting enthusiasm of farmers in recent years. However, as the fast development of urbanization in China in recent years, lots of farmers started to flow into cities for works and abandoned lots of farmland. The great gap between the incomes of working in city and farming has also alerted Chinese government. It is really hard for it to fill or narrow the gap in the near future even though China continued to increase the investment in agricultural production subsidies year by year.

The contradiction in the wills of raising farmers' income and encouraging them to stick to agricultural production for the growth of grain output has bothered Chinese government in the past few years.

The policy carried out in 2005, namely the Management Approach of Rural Land Contracting Right of Management Circulation, has largely balanced the problems. It encourages those farmers who are not willing to continue planting but to rent their farmlands to those large plantations. So that farmers can work in other fields and the farmlands are still not abandoned.

In the No. 1 central document of 2013, Chinese government is predicted to mainly focus on the reformation and innovation of agricultural management system which will encourage more professional plantations and develop more professional collective organizations.

Even so, Chinese government won't let the number of large plantations to increase as large as it can, because too many farmers abandon farmland and choose to work in cities which will cause lots of urban management issues.

The report above was derived from Crop Protection China News issued by CCM in February.

Failed to develop lithium iron phosphate in succession

As China's two well-known phosphorus companies -Jiangsu Chengxing Phoshorus-Chemcials Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Chengxing) and Liuguo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Liuguo Chemical) failed to develop lithium iron phosphate in succession, competitors should be cautious about choosing their business for expansion.

                                                  

On Nov. 11th, Jiangsu Chengxing, known as China's top phosphate chemical producer, announced that it plans to withdraw capital from its holding subsidiary — Jiangyin Tiancheng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (Tiancheng New Energy), amounting to USD2.97 million investment. Jiangsu Chengxing's move is mainly affected by mediocre development of lithium iron phosphate since the establishment of Tiancheng New Energy.

  

With a registered capital of USD10.62 million, Tiancheng New Energy was formed by Jiangsu Chengxing in April 2010. Thereinto, Jiangsu Chengxing accounts for 28% stakes. In accordance with the initial scheme, Tiancheng New Energy should get into the mass production of lithium iron phosphate. 

 

In addition to Jiangsu Chengxing, Liuguo Chemical, as a listed company specializing in producing phosphate fertilizers (DAP, MAP and types of compound fertilizers), also takes a hit in extension of lithium iron phosphate.

 

On June 18th, 2010, Liuguo Chemical and Sichuan University signed a two-year technical service contract. According to the contract, Sichuan University should develop production technology of lithium iron phosphate to achieve mass production. However, the target of mass production was not realized till expiration of contract. Nonetheless, Liuguo Chemical expressed that they would not give up the development of lithium iron phosphate. The cooperation with Sichuan University is still in progress, as noted by one insider from the company.

In recent years, PE (Private Equity) is increasingly favored by the investment community. According to a report released by the Zero2IPO Group, in 2011, PE industry continues the trend of rapid development in previous years with 235 investable China’s Fund proceeded, which ranks a record high.

Chongqing Huapont acquires Hangzhou Qingfeng

On Sept. 6, 2012, Chongqing Huapont Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Chongqing Huapont) acquired 58.26% shares of Hangzhou Qingfeng Agro-chemical Co., Ltd. (Hangzhou Qingfeng). Hangzhou Qingfeng is a company mainly engaged in amide herbicides. Through this acquisition, Chongqing Huapont can enhance its herbicide production strength with Hangzhou Qingfeng's resource production base, according to CCM’s October Issue of Herbicides China News.

In detail, Chongqing Huapont purchased 58.26% shares of Hangzhou Qingfeng, a subsidiary of Hangzhou Industrial Asset Management Investment Group Ltd. (Hangzhou Industrial) with about USD9.17 million (RMB 58.08 million).

 

At present, Chongqing Huapont has several main pesticide products—metamitron technical, oxyfluorfen technical, bifenthrin technical and picloram technical. After the acquisition, Chongqing Huapont can produce a series of amide herbicides including alachlor, acetochlor, pretilachlor, butachlor, metolachlor, propisochlor and also can produce prochloraz (a kind of fungicide), which are originally owned by Hangzhou Qingfeng.

 

It's predicted that after the acquisition of Hangzhou Qingfeng, Chongqing Huapont will integrate complementary resources of Hebei Wanquan Kaidi Chemical Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd. (Wanquan Kaidi),  Nutrichem Company Limited (Nutrichem) and Hangzhou Qingfeng for sensible use of resources, which can reduce the cost of sales sharply. 

From 2011, Chongqing Huapont has aggressively developed pesticide business by way of acquiring pesticide companies. In detail, in July 2011, Chongqing Huapont acquired 100% shares of Nutrichem; in May 2012 , the company acquired 31.24% shares of Wanquan Kaidi whose main products are metamitron and clethodim; Also in this May, the company acquired 49% shares of Hebei Wanquan Hongyu Chemical Co., Ltd. (Wanquan Hongyu). (Herbicides News 1107: Huapont acquires Nutrichem; Herbicides News 1205: Huapont invests in Wanquan Hongyu and Wanquan Kaidi)

 

On Aug. 8, 2012, Chongqing Huapont issued its H1 2012 semi-annual report. It shows a good performance of Chongqing Huapont, especially in pesticide business. After Nutrichem was acquired by Chongqing Huapont, Chongqing Huapont has been congruously developing the businesses of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. And Nutrichem pushed Chongqing Huapont's business forward in H1 2012.

 

In H1 2012, the total revenue of Nutrichem was about USD220.7 million (RMB1.4 billion) with gross profit margin of 13.56%. As to the company's products, the revenue of metamitron technical and oxyfluorfen technical were about USD20.9 million (RMB132.3 million) and USD11.0 million (RMB69.7 million) with gross profit margin of 28.41% and 11.65% respectively. 

Now, Chongqing Huapont further develops its pesticide business by acquiring Hangzhou Qingfeng whose business is in deficit. In an estimate, one of the reasons why Hangzhou Industrial sold its shares in Hangzhou Qingfeng is that Hangzhou Qingfeng suffered a net profit loss of about USD8.12 million (RMB51.43 million) in 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the total assets of Hangzhou Qingfeng was about USD83.2 million (RMB554.5 million) and its net assets was about USD-21.3 million (RMB-134.9 million).

 

As indicated by Chongqing Huapont, the deficit of Hangzhou Qingfeng is mainly due to the unwise operation of its mother company, Hangzhou Industrial. After the acquisition, Chongqing Huapont will enhance the management ability of Hangzhou Qingfeng and Hangzhou Qingfeng will recover in 2013 in an estimate.

 

As expressed by Chongqing Huapont, in the acquisition, there are still some potential risks that the company should pay attention to. According to the acquisition proposal, new industrial park has higher requirements on environment protection, especially on waste gas. Therefore, it wasn't sure that Hangzhou Qingfeng could successfully relocate into new industrial park, as Chongqing Huapont estimated. Although Hangzhou Qingfeng has a good foundation, Chongqing Huapont needs to put more efforts to get rid of the malpractice in Hangzhou Qingfeng after the acquisition.

 

At present, Hangzhou Qingfeng's production base is in Hangzhou Xiaoshan Linjiang Industrial Zone, Zhejiang Province. After the acquisition, Hangzhou Qingfeng will be relocated, though the exact relocation place has not been settled, according to the proposal of Chongqing Huapont. 

At any rate, under the direction of Pesticide Industry Policy in China, Chinese pesticide market is experiencing an integration revolution. Accompanied with the current trend, acquisition in different industries will gain Chinese government's support and the acquisition of Chongqing Huapont makes the company an early bird to grasp expansion chance.

 

Besides, at the end of 2011, Chongqing Huapont purchased 7.5% shares of CCAB Agro S.A. (CCAB), a company who is mainly engaged in pesticide business in Brazil. By cooperating with CCAB, it's convenient for Chongqing Huapont to export pesticides to Brazil through setting up a sales channel and the company can further develop its pesticide export business. (Herbicides News 1202: Huapont plans to invest in Brazilian market)

High Reliance on Imported Soybean Affects China's Edible Oil Security

According to statistics from China Customs, in the first half of 2012, China imported 29.05 million tonnes of soybean, up 29.05% over H1 2011. Since the planting area of soybean in China has decreased this year, it's estimated that China's import of soybean will set a new record in 2012, and the high growth of import volume in H1 2012 is a signal, according to CCM’s July issue of AgriChina Investor.

Soybean is a major source of edible oil in China. With the increasing demand for edible oil from urban residents and the declining planting area of soybean, China's import of soybean has been increasing year by year over the past decade.

 

Since 2003, China has surpassed the European Union and become the largest soybean importer in the world. In 2010, China's soybean import volume hit a historic high of 54.80 million tonnes. In 2011, it decreased slightly by 3.9% to 52.64 million tonnes. The import volume of soybean in China climbed by 90% from 2004 to 2010.

 

According to the data from China's National Grain and Oils Information Center, the annual consumption volume of edible oil in China reached 20.5kg per person in 2011. 

 

China mainly imports soybean from the U.S., Brazil and Argentina, where the GMO soybeans are planted the most extensively. The U.S., a country with the largest planting areas of soybean in the world, has supplied about a quarter of its soybean output to China.

 

Imported soybean now accounts for about 80% of China's total soybean consumption. Compared with more than 50 million tonnes of imported soybean every year, China's domestic output of soybean has been about 12 million tonnes per year in recent years.

 

Driven by the increasing urbanization rate and hence the increasing demand from urban residents in China, China's soybean import volume is expected to maintain an uptrend in the next 10 to 15 years. According to a forecast from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, China's import volume of soybean is expected to go up by 62% to 90 million tonnes per year over the next 10 years. 

 

China's soybean growing industry has been greatly affected by the increasing import volume of soybean. As imported soybean has advantages in cost (because of high farming efficiency in major soybean planting countries) and high oil yield (because of the adoption of GMO seed; but GMO soybean is prohibited to be planted in China), domestic soybean growing industry is beaten by imported product, and many Chinese farmers are unwilling to grow soybean.

 

The decreasing output of domestic soybean and the increasing soybean import also impact China's oil crushing industry. It was reported that more than 80% of the soybean oil crushers in Heilongjiang Province, China's largest soybean production base, have closed down due to the decline in both planting area and output of soybean in the region in 2011, and many of the soybean oil producers have been relocated to coastal areas and begun to use imported soybean as their raw materials. 

 

The heavy reliance on imported soybean brings great risks to the food security of China and the price stability of edible oil. Now many foreign companies have extended and integrated the industrial chain of soybean in China, thus dominating the pricing rights of China's edible oil market; more than 75% market share of soybean oil market in China is controlled by overseas brands. Most price rise of edible oil in the end market in recent years are initiated by overseas companies. Edible oil's price, which is included in China's CPI contributing factor, is highly related to society sustainability.

 

As soybean is not included in grain in Chinese government's statistical system, the high reliance on soybean import may be ignored if focus is only put on China's grain sufficiency rate. Many experts suggest that grain security-related governmental departments in China should concern more about the soybean import.
