CCM International has published the latest issue of Crop Protection China News on November 30^th , 2011, presenting that Bayer CropScience (China) sets up its first Seed Treatment Application Center in China on 10 Nov., 2011, the seventh one of Bayer CropScience in the world.

Bayer’s first Chinese seed treatment application center is located in Haidian District, Beijing City, with the most advanced seed processing equipments and detection measures. It is considered to be a bond among R&D of new seed processing products, marketing and seed customers, including the services of customer support & training, tailored technical solutions, etc.

Seed treatment agent is one of the most important products in agricultural production. The registration fee of a compound seed treatment agent reaches USD78,740.16 (RMB500,000), which blocks the entering of small-sized pesticide players.

There is a great prospect of seed treatment agent in China. At present, there are over 400 seed treatment agent players in China. The annual increment speed of the total sales volume has reached 10% in recent years. Bayer and other international pesticide enterprises have also engaged in this field for many years.

With the fast growing market of seed treatment agent in China, it’s necessary for international crop protection giants to enter China's market with high quality products, for example, Bayer CropScience's Gaucho (70% imidacloprid), Sygenta's Dividend (difenoconazole) and Celest (fludioxonil).

Purchasing Soybean in Northeast China Becomes Difficult

The November issue of China Agriculture Investment Bimonthly Report by CCM International has come out recently. The top news is about soybean purchase problem. It is hard for the soybean processing enterprises to purchase soybean in Northeast China due to the decreasing local planting area.

The planting area of soybean has been reduced year by year, down to 3,667,000 ha. in 2009 from 4,246,000 ha. in 2005. The situation is the same in Northeast China, especially in Heilongjiang Province, which is a key soybean production area in China. The soybean planting area in Heilongjiang Province has been continuously decreasing these years, thus the soybean supply in Northeast China has begun to slip.

As a result, the processing enterprises of soybean are facing many difficulties in purchasing their raw material - soybean and are with the risk of losing market share. Since soybean planting in China doesn’t have much advantage, most farmers choose to plant other crops with higher benefits. If this trend keeps going on, the gap between supply and demand of soybean in Northeast will become more and more apparent in the future.

To solve this crisis, the government should take corresponding measures, such as policies on soybean purchase and temporary store, the stabilization of the price, offering tax preference to soybean enterprises, etc.

More details about soybean purchasing news, please check CCM International’s China Agriculture Investment Bimonthly Report.

China’s Titanium Dioxide Industry to Have a Promising Future

The sixth edition of the titanium dioxide series reports was published by CCM International recently. The new report, with the title Survey of Titanium Dioxide in China (The Sixth Edition) indicates that China’s titanium dioxide industry is expected to have a promising future.

After a rapid growth in the past few years, China has become the biggest titanium dioxide production country since 2009. From 2006 to 2011, domestic titanium dioxide capacity has increased with CAGR of 9.84%. With lots of environment pollution caused by sulfate process in titanium dioxide production, Chinese government has set a series of policies to restrict the capacity expansion with sulfate process in 2011. And it is estimated that the capacity of China’s titanium dioxide will increase slowly in the coming 5 years.

China’s export volume has also enjoyed a fast development in the past. The export volume has increased nearly double from 2005 to 2010. And China has been a titanium dioxide net exporter since 2010.

In addition, China is one of the largest consumers of titanium dioxide in the world. From 2006 to 2010, the apparent consumption of domestic titanium dioxide has witnessed an increasing trend with CAGR of 11.34%. The titanium dioxide is mainly consumed in coating, plastic and papermaking industries in China.  And in H1 2011, the consumption volume of titanium dioxide in these three fields accounts for about 81.5% of the total.  It is estimated that the consumption volume of titanium dioxide in China would see a further growth.

More findings and details are in CCM International’s titanium dioxide report. If you are interested in this report, please feel free to contact us at econtact@cnchemicals.com.

Development of China’s Hybridization Breeding Soybean Keeps Growing

CCM International has published the latest Issue of Seed China News on November 30^th , 2011, indicating that the development of soybean hybridization breeding is expected to improve the competitiveness of China's non-transgenic soybeans.

China is capably to produce hybridization breeding soybean. For example, Anhui Province is a major soybean-planting province in China, with an annual planting area of over 666,666.67 ha. (10 million mu). The province's soybean hybridization breeding, especially for high-protein soybeans, has led the country. By three-line breeding methods, some summer soybeans with higher yield, such as "Zayoudou 1", have been successfully cultivated and released in the province and surrounding areas.

It's believed that the new cross-breeding and cultivation technology would be essential to revitalize China's soybean industry. The improvement in soybean seed breeding would reduce farmers' purchase cost of hybrid soybean seeds. The planting efficiency of soybean would be greatly improved, with upgrading of yield and quality.

Many industrial insiders also advocate to enhance domestic protein processing business, in order to expand the consumption of non-transgenic soybeans. Actually, non-transgenic soybeans are thought to be the material most appropriate for protein processing. It appears that the demand for non-transgenic soybeans continues to increase globally, with the development of protein processing industry.

It’s noteworthy that some domestic oil companies still insist on extract oil mainly with non-tansgenic soybeans. "Only by building our non-GM brand can we compete with international cereals and oils giants," said Vice President of a cereals and oils industrial group in Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China.

All findings are from CCM International’s Seed China News 1111. The headline news include:

-The Government of Anhui Province released suggestions for developing modern seed industry, indicating the strategy to support leading seed companies.

-The two-line wheat breeding technology is expected to realize industrialization in China.

-China continues to attach importance to crop breeding through space mutation, aiming to develop more abundant variety resources.

-IRRI, CAAS and BGI jointly launched Rice 3,000 Genomes Project in Shenzhen City, South China.

-Winall Hi-tech buys "Wushan Simiao" to enrich the rice variety structure and make more profits in rice seeds.

-Hunan Jinjian is transferred by HJCI owing to HJCI’s lack of ability and willingness to strengthen the seed business.

-Shandong Denghai establishes a joint venture to expand business scope.

-Golden Rice sets up a special research department, aiming to build a commercial rice-breeding system.

-The developing hybridization breeding of soybean is expected to improve the competitiveness of China's non-transgenic soybeans.

-Multinational giants are marking great efforts to enhance seed treatment business in China.
