September Issue Sweeterner China News Comes Out

CCM published the latest issue of Sweeterner China News on September 5^th , 2011, which covers the hot topics and dynamics of China's sweetener industry.

Some high intensity sweeteners developed well in H1 2011. For example, aspartame continued to enjoy promising development in H1 2011, which attracts some producers to expand their aspartame business. 290 tonnes of sucralose was exported in H1 2011, and the yearly growth rate was 110%.

Besides, some producers actively expand their capacity of starch sugar. For example, Global Sweeteners is expanding its corn starch capacity of 210,000t/a and Star Lake Bioscience plans to market its HFCS in October 2011.

However, the profit of some sweeteners decreased, such as erythritol, FOS and GOS. The main reason is the cost of raw material increased, which was hard to be transferred to downstream industries.

The sucrose price is believed to be the main reason behind the performance of sweetener market, just as showed in the article "Government Strengthens Adjusting Control of Sucrose Price".

All details of the above stories will be shared in CCM’s September issue of Sweeterner China News. For more information about it, please feel free to contact us at econtact@cnchemicals.com

September Issue Corn Products China News Released

CCM has published September issue of Corn Products China News recently, covering the latest news of various corn products, including price fluctuation, market trends and intelligence, legislations and policies, technologies, area dynamics and corn supply, etc.

In H1 2011, some kinds of corn products enjoyed good growth. Thanks to the booming market of food and feed, leading producers of additives used in both kinds of products, such as starch sugar, corn starch and lysine, put on pretty good performance in H1 2011; some of them have already decided to expand their business in the next one to three years. Oppositely, some kinds of corn products suffered terrible performance. For example, the development of vitamin C has been restrained by its excessive supply and price drop.

High raw material cost is always a big problem for corn producers, and its impact is expected to last to the rest months this year. China’s inflation rate fell to 6.2% in August 2011 from 6.5% in the previous month: this is a move in the right direction but far above the average 4% set by the government for the whole year. Corn price in China is high and stable in Sept. 2011 thanks to its strong demand in feed industry, even though its rich harvest this year is almost certain.

GLG Built Stevia Breeding and Cultivation Centre in Anhui

GLG Life Tech Corporation (GLG), a world leader in the production of high-quality stevia, built a breeding and cultivation centre of stevia jointly with Anhui Science and Technology University in Anhui in June 2011. This centre is a unique provincial engineering research centre which is focused on breeding, cultivation and the breed improvement of stevia, according to CCM’s Sweeterner China News.

In light of the following two reasons, GLG believes that the stevia planting will develop well and the demand for stevia may keep increasing in the next several years, thus it has finally built this breeding and cultivation centre in Anhui.

First, the export volume of stevia sweetener has increased thanks to the growing overseas demand for it in recent years. Currently, China has already become the largest stevia sweetener supplier in the world, and around 80% of its total output of stevia sweetener is sold to overseas market. It reveals that the output of stevia is also increasing as stevia is the raw material of stevia sweetener.

Moreover, the consumption volume of stevia sweetener in China has also gradually increased for the development of sugar-free foods and beverages in recent years.

GLG builds the breeding and cultivation centre of stevia for the following two goals.

First, the centre will improve the breeding to get new stevia species which have higher steviol glycosides content in the leaves. And the major components in steviol glycosides are stevioside and rebaudioside A (RA). Those new species can help stevia sweetener processors produce high RA purity products. Moreover, the prices of high RA purity products such as RA 80%, RA 90% and RA 95% are much higher than that of stevioside, that is to say, the new species can bring GLG with high profits.

Second, the output of stevia will increase with the improving stevia planting level through education and training. What's more, the centre will help farmers learn new culture technique of stevia and prevent plant diseases and insect damage.

It is estimated that the planting industry of stevia will develop sustainably, then the output of stevia will also increase to ensure the supply. In fact, stevia is planted by native farmers and then sold as a raw material to the domestic stevia sweetener producers. On one hand, the increasing demand from stevia sweetener drives the producers to buy more stevia from farmers.

On the other hand, local governments also try their best to promote the planting industry of stevia, because it can increase the income of farmers. For example, Government of Anhui Mingguang held a purchasing meeting of stevia on 4 May 2010 which aims to help farmers sell their stevia at a reasonable price and also help stevia sweetener producers buy high quality stevia in the harvest season. That is to say, both the sweetener producers and the government are promoting the planting industry of stevia.

Erythritol industry in China to Keep Growing in the Future

Erythritol industry in China will keep on developing in the future, according to CCM’s Sweeterner China News.

Baolingbao Biology Co., Ltd. (Baolingbao), a leading Chinese producer of starch-based products and food ingredients, has been expanding its erythritol capacity, and the total capacity will reach 4,000t/a by the end of August 2011.

Baolingbao believes that the erythritol industry will develop well in the future and the demand for erythritol will also increase. Moreover, since the overseas consumption is more than the domestic one now, with the increasing overseas demand for erythritol, the domestic erythritol industry will keep on developing.

There were mainly five active erythritol producers in China by the end of 2010, with total capacity and output of 18,500t/a and 4,780 tonnes in 2010 respectively. The average operating rate of them is 25.84%, about 11% less than that of 2009. From 2006 to 2010, the capacity of erythritol had grown rapidly, while the growth of output had fallen behind. Besides, there were four producers, namely Zibo Zhongshi Green Biotech Co., Ltd., Shandong Futaste Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Shandong Binzhou Sanyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., O'Laughlin Industries Co., Ltd., using glucose to produce erythritol in order to improve the production efficiency, while Baolingbao uses corn starch in its erythritol production, which is with lower cost compared with that of using glucose.

Moreover, in 2010, among the five main active erythritol producers, four are concentrated in Shandong Province; only one is located in Tianjin City. Because erythritol is a kind of sugar alcohol and the sugar alcohol industry develops well in Shandong, most of the erythritol producers choose to be located in Shandong.

All in all, it can be predicted that the erythritol industry in China will keep on developing in the future based on the facts above.

Phosphorus Ore Resource Draws Wide Attention

China Agriculture Investment Bimonthly Report is a bimonthly newsletter that CCM newly-released recently. The newsletter indicates that phosphorus ore resource draws phosphate fertilizer producers' wide attention.

With the exhausting phosphorus ore resource, phosphate fertilizer producers are to acquire phosphorus ore resource to sustain long-term development, driven by the strict entry criteria for phosphate and ammonium production.

China is the second largest phosphorus ore reserves country in the world, only next to Morocco. Among the proven phosphorus ore reserves of 16.786 billion tonnes, only about 4.1 billion tonnes with actual economic value can be exploited technically in China, capturing 24% of the total reserves. In addition, only 52% of China's phosphorus ore reserves with actual economic value can be exploited under current technology.

China exploited 68.07 million tonnes of phosphorus ore in 2010, increasing by 18.5% over last year, but China totally consumed 67.17 million tonnes of phosphorus ore in the same year, soaring by 17.2% year on year.

Driven by the soaring demand and exhausting resource, phosphorus ore price has seen an uptrend with fluctuation during 2008 to 2010, which brought many risks to phosphate fertilizer producers. And only the phosphate fertilizer producers holding ample phosphorus ore resource can avoid the risk of phosphorus ore price fluctuation.

Besides being beneficial for long-term development, phosphorus ore resource is essential for factory removal and new entrants. On March 25, 2011, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) promulgated the exposure draft of the Entry Criteria for Phosphate and Ammonium Production (the Entry Criteria), which requires that the factories to remove and new entrants should have their own phosphorus ore and sulfur ore resources. According to the Entry

Criteria, in principle, the factories to remove and new entrants are not allowed to build new wet process phosphoric acid (WPA), monoammonium phosphate (MAP) and diammonium phosphate (DAP) projects or expansions within three years.

Besides, if the existing compound fertilizer production plants are located in county-level ecological protection areas, scenic areas, nature reserves, cultural heritage protection areas, etc., they have to relocate. By the end of 2010, there were 466 phosphate fertilizer producers in China, with the total production capacity of over 21.00 million tonnes per year and the output of 17.01 million tonnes (100%P2O5) in 2010; while the apparent consumption volume was only 14.75 million tonnes (100%P2O5). That is to say, China's phosphate fertilizer industry is facing overcapacity. The most important is that many phosphate fertilizer producers that have to relocate their plants have no phosphorus ore resource of their own. To sustain long-term development, phosphate fertilizer producers will pay more attention to phosphorus ore resource.
