China's Fluoropolymer Industry Attracts More Foreign Investment

China's fluoropolymer industry attracts more foreign investment, driven by the booming market and resource advantage, according to CCM’s January Issue of China Fluoride Materials Monthly Report.

During the 2011 Investor Day on Dec. 12-13, 2011, DuPont indicates that the Asia-Pacific economy and the favorable industrial bases there will boost the demand for performance chemicals in 2012 and beyond. The long-term sales of performance chemicals, including TiO2 and fluoropolymers, are expected to grow 6-8% compounded annually. The increasing demand for TiO2 and fluoropolymers is complemented by ongoing capacity expansion through brown-field and productivity projects.  ...

Apart from DuPont, other multinationals also eye on China's fluoropolymer market, especially Japanese companies. In September 2011, Daikin Industries, Ltd. (Daikin), a famous Japan-based fluorochemical manufacturer, announced that it will establish a new production facility for the manufacture of ZEFFLE fluoropolymer coatings at Changshu Factory of its subsidiary Daikin Fluorochemicals (China) Co. Ltd. ...

Early in July 2011, Daikin has decided to establish a new production facility ... Kureha Corp. (Kureha), another Japan-based fluorochemical producer,...

Apart from the booming market, resource advantage and China's government's encourage are the reasons for multinationals' investment in China's fluoropolymer industry. With China's government restricting the fluorite export, multinationals outside China are facing fluorite resource shortage, especially for those based in Japan. Moreover, China's government has promulgated ...

China’s Defeat on Export Restriction Case not to Hit Yellow Phosphorus

On Jan. 30th, 2012, World Trade Organization (WTO) adjudicated that China's export restriction on nine types of raw materials is illegal. Amongst the nine types of materials in the ruling, yellow phosphorus is included, according to CCM International’s February issue of Phosphorus Industry China Monthly Report.

On the very next day, China's Ministry of Commerce made a response that China set the export rules for protecting resources and maintaining the sustainable development of these resources. After review of this verdict, China declared it will adopt scientific methods to administrate export of these resources in accordance with WTO rules, although it viewed such export restriction legitimately.

In the face of such an arbitrament, some people suggest that China could take several actions to protect native resources. Despite of WTO's ruling, China is still entitled to increase resource tax or environment tax to restrict resource export. Besides, China could raise electricity price and through other methods to drive up the production cost rather than levying tax, which is also in favor of restricting resource export.

 

However, if China adopts the suggestion, it will confront potential inflation resulting from the soaring prices of raw materials. Perhaps further improving the standard on the quality of export commodities is a more effective way to solve the present problem.

Generally speaking, it makes little difference on China's yellow phosphorus export whether China would improve taxes or the standard on exported commodity quality. In 2011, China produced 853,565 tonnes of yellow phosphorus, only 1.8% being exported.

Compared with other prime yellow phosphorus exporters, China's export tax in yellow phosphorus is a bit high indeed. However, even with such a high tax, the average export price of China is still lower than that of the US—another prime exporter of yellow phosphorus in the world.

As is known to all, the export tax of yellow phosphorus in China is ever up to 70% before 2009. Even China levies a 20% export tax on yellow phosphorus at present, its export situation of yellow phosphorus still seems to have a downturn.

However, it is noteworthy that China has been implementing export quota on phosphorus ore and high export tariff on phosphate fertilizer. Different from yellow phosphorus, China and other countries all have strong demand on phosphorus ore and phosphate fertilizer. In view of WTO's ruling on China's nine types of raw materials' export, once loosening the export of these two phosphorus products, it will bring about the outflow of native resources to a larger extent, which is against China's original intention.

What Kinds of Investment Opportunities in BRICS?

BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) are the most promising countries in global economy. With the background of more cooperation with other countries, there must be enormous investment opportunities in these five countries. How to figure out the investment opportunities is the most concerned issue. CCM International, a leading consulting company with more than 10 years experiences in market research, will publish the report of “Investment Environment Analysis in BRICS” in 2012, showing you what kinds of potentials to make investment in BRICS.

Providing a comprehensive overview of the BRICS about its development and cooperation mechanism, the report will have in-depth analysis on investment environment of these five countries, including industrial advantages and disadvantages, political and legal environment, taxation and financing system, hotspot and problem in economy, as well as population characteristic and cost of labor force. By obtaining the detailed information of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment), investors can discover the potential investment opportunities in the BRICS from 2012 to 2020.

In the past decade, the growth rate of GDP in China, India, Russia and Brazil ranked top in the whole world, while South Africa is the largest economic body in Africa. The total GDP in these five countries accounted for 18% of the world in 2010. BRICS are playing a more important role in economy and policy around the world.

Actually, BRICS have complementary advantages: Brazil is the world’s raw material base, abundant in agriculture products and mineral resources; Russia is rich in petroleum and natural gas; India has the advantage of outsourcing services; China is strong in manufacturing and it is called the centre of world factory; South Africa, the most developed country in economy in Africa, has abundant mineral resources and solid industrial foundation. On April 14, 2011, the BRICS signed the Framework Agreement on Financial Cooperation within the BRICS Inter-Bank Cooperation Mechanism in Sanya, China, which will further promote the cooperation within the BRICS.

However, facing global warming, global economic crisis, competition from other emerging countries, BRICS have been confronted with great challenges, such as rising cost of labor force, environmental protection. How is the current situation of investment environment in the BRICS, and where are the investment opportunities in the BRICS in the following ten years? This report will give you the answers.

No. 1 Central Document of 2012 Focuses on Agricultural Technology

On 1 Feb. 2012, a high-profile policy, namely the No. 1 Central Document of 2012 (the Document), was jointly issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council, which aims to encourage the development of both frontier agricultural technologies and basic research so as to maintain the sustainable growth of agricultural industry. It is predicted that the total investment in agricultural field this year will continue to exceed USD158.48 billion (RMB1,000 billion), based on CCM International’s latest issue of Crop Protection China News.

The main contents of the Document are considered to be almost the same as the result predicted by domestic experts at the end of 2011. The Document is the ninth consecutive No. 1 Central Document in China to focus on agricultural issues in the past nine years and it is the first Central Document for Chinese government to fully deploy works on agricultural technology since the foundation of New China in 1949.

The main contents of the Document totally consist of six parts. According to CCM International, the six parts can be concluded into two main parts, large investment in agricultural technology and integrity of the circulation network of agricultural produces.

Large investment in agricultural technology not only means to largely invest in the development of agricultural technology but also to improve the innovation condition of agricultural technology and cultivate more qualified technical personnel.

Aiming to cooperate with the investment in agriculture technology and ensure the leading role of the investment from the Chinese government, the Document promises to ensure a larger growth rate of investment in agricultural technology than that of regular national revenue.

Moreover, the Document emphasizes on the innovation of agricultural technology, especially the innovation in seed industry. It will continue to increase the investment in the research on public welfare and basic research in seed industry. It encourages experts and researchers in research institutes and universities to pay more attention to the research on the cultivation of new breakthrough species.

It also promises to set up a new commercial breeding system based on seed enterprises as soon as possible and encourages domestic enterprises with strong competitiveness to enter seed industry through M&A and investment in seed enterprises.

GM seed industry which has been mentioned in the No. 1 Central Document of 2011 has been brought back to the table again in 2012. With coming large investment in GM seed breeding research, the Document requires that a batch of significant and basic theories and technologies in GM seed breeding shall be achieved in the next few years.

At last, the Document also refers to the integration of circulation network of agricultural produces in 2012. Owing to some serious unsalable cases of agricultural produces in recent years, Chinese government decided to further perfect the circulation network in the whole country and set up a new sales model based on effective connection of production and consumption of agricultural produces.

Although the Document has expressed the Chinese government's determination to develop agricultural technology, a tickler still bothers it at present. Fewer and fewer farmers are willing to do planting, which causes large areas of farmland uncultivated. Furthermore, with the fast development of urbanization, China's farmland has been decreasing rapidly in the past decades. Rousing up the planting enthusiasm of farmers is becoming one of the most important tasks for Chinese government, and it is predicted to be very tough in the future.

MIIT Releases 12th Five-Year Plan for Pesticide Industry

On 3 Feb. 2012, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released the 12th Five-Year (2011-2015) Plan for Pesticide Industry, which mainly focuses on adjusting industrial structure, improving technological innovation capacity, protecting the ecological environment and conserving natural resources, according to CCM International’s February issue of Insecticides China News.

 

In terms of industrial structure adjustment, it's stipulated in the five-year plan that the number of pesticide manufacturers in the country shall be substantially reduced during the period of 12th Five-Year Plan; large and influential manufacturers with various products shall be cultivated by the government.

 

Aiming to optimize the industrial layout, it is proposed in the plan to build three to five chemical industry parks across the country featured by a gathering of pesticide manufacturers, appropriate production scale, fully-equipped supporting facilities and efficient management.

 

Besides, optimizing product structure is also advocated. Efficient and environmentally friendly pesticides safe to use shall be developed with great emphasis. For example, insecticides against key pests, refractory pests, soil pests, nematodes and invasive alien pests shall be vigorously developed and promoted. Furthermore, pesticide formulations developed shall tend to be efficient and safe, such as water-based ones.

 

According to the 12th Five-Year (2011-2015) Plan for Pesticide Industry, 22 kinds of highly toxic pesticides like fenamiphos, fonofos and phosfolan-methyl shall be phased out and banned in batches. Besides, inefficient pesticides and production technology and equipment shall also be gradually eliminated. 

During the period of the 11th Five-Year Plan (2005-2010), China reached new heights in expanding pesticide production scale and optimizing product structure.

 

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, total pesticide output in China amounted to 2.34 million tonnes (100% purity) in 2010, with an  average annual growth rate of 15.3% during the period of the 11th Five-Year Plan.

 

In term of the product structure, the proportion of insecticides in pesticides has declined from 41.8% in 2005 to 31.9% in 2010. With smooth progress in reducing highly toxic pesticides, markedly the ban on five highly toxic organophosphorus kinds (including methamidophos and monocrotophos) for production in 2007, the proportion of highly toxic pesticides in all pesticides also shows a significant downtrend. 

 

During the period of the 11th Five-Year Plan, China also increased investment in R&D of new pesticides and developed 15 efficient varieties with intellectual property rights, including several insecticides such as meperfluthrin and 1-[(6-chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-7-methyl-8-nitro-5-propoxy-1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydroimidazo [1,2-α] pyridine. The consumption of self-developed pesticides in China accounted for nearly 10% of the total of pesticides in 2010, rising from 5% in 2005. 

Before the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China Crop Protection Industry Association (CCPIA) also released the 12th Five-Year Plan for Pesticide Industry on 26 July 2011. Actually, CCPIA's plan is almost an inheritor of the Pesticide Industry Policy released in Sept. 2010, adding some concrete measures for better implementation in practice. Some specific goals are set in CCPIA's plan, aiming to expand industrial scale, concentrate pesticide technical players, improve the international competitiveness of domestic pesticide enterprises etc. 

If the development plans could be smoothly implemented, the whole pesticide industry in China would develop sustainably, with continuous optimization of industrial structure and improvement in enterprises' R&D capacity. Leading pesticide enterprises are believed to benefit a lot from the preferential policies in the long run.
