Profits of Chinese Saccharin Producers Decrease in 2011

From Feb. 27 to March 2, 2012, China Sugar Association (CSA), commissioned by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, ran a production examination on four state-mandated saccharin producers, namely Henan Kaifeng Xinghua Fine Chemical Factory (Henan Kaifeng), Tianjin North Food Co., Ltd. (Tianjin North), Tianjin Changjie Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Changjie) and Shanghai Fortune Chemical Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Fortune). As disclosed in the examination, the profits of Chinese saccharin producers decreased obviously in 2011 due to high raw material cost and low selling price, according to CCM’s April issue of Sweeteners China News.

According to CSA's examination, the production plan of saccharin made by Chinese government was 19,000 tonnes in 2011, among which 3,200 tonnes was planned to be sold in China, and the left was planned to be exported. In fact, according to CSA, the actual output of saccharin was 18,204.34 tonnes in 2011, which completed 95.81% of the total production plan. In 2011, domestic sales volume and export volume of saccharin were 2,872.51 tonnes and 14,361.84 tonnes respectively, indicating that about 1,000 tonnes of saccharin was stocked. What's more important, CSA found that the overall profits of saccharin producers decreased obviously in 2011, and some producers even suffered loss or were on the verge of loss. 

Firstly, high raw material cost exerted pressure on saccharin producers' profit obtaining. Phthalic anhydride is a key raw material for saccharin production, and China has mainly imported it to meet the domestic demand. However, the average import price of phthalic anhydride mainly showed a rising trend in 2011 over 2010 (FIGURE1). Referred to China Customs, the average import price of phthalic anhydride was about USD1,032/t in 2011, up 23% over 2010, which increased the raw material cost of saccharin. According to a salesman of Shanghai Fortune, the company's cost rose sharply in 2011, and its average purchasing price of phthalic anhydride showed an uptrend from 2011 to now, which climbed from USD1,300/t in 2011 to USD1,800/t in March 2012. 

Unfortunately, the selling price of saccharin even fell in 2011 rather than increase with the sustained growth of phthalic anhydride's. According to CCM International's Sweeteners Database, the average ex-factory price of saccharin was lower in 2011 over 2010 (FIGURE2), which further reduced domestic saccharin producers' profits combined with the price increase of phthalic anhydride during 2011. For example, the average ex-factory price of saccharin in 2011 was USD6,006/t, with a year-on-year decrease of 7%, which may be driven by the intense competition in Chinese sweetener industry and illegal saccharin production. On one side, competition in domestic sweetener industry has become more and more intense owing to the emergence of new players and new capacities of other sweeteners, which continuously took up saccharin's market share, leading to its price drop. On the other side, saccharin has always been produced illegally in China in recent years, whose sales also reduced the demand for saccharin produced by the four manufacturers.

In Q1 2012, it is estimated that saccharin's profit may also decrease. For example, the average import price of phthalic anhydride kept on rising to USD1,632/t, while the average ex-factory price of saccharin decreased to USD5,262/t in Feb. 2012, indicating profit of saccharin may continue to decrease in Q1 2012. Though Chinese government declared that it will enhance the supervision of illegal saccharin production in 2012 and rectify the order of domestic saccharin market, the price increase of raw material, the price decrease of saccharin and the intense competition in sweetener industry will remain in the future, so saccharin's profit is likely to decrease in 2012.

Corn Seed Production Flourishing in Xinjiang

Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang), lies in the northwestern corner of China, with unique natural environment for corn planting and corn seed production. In recent years, the status of Xinjiang has been highlighted in domestic corn seed production, with the more intensive competition of corn seed production in Zhangye City (Zhangye), Gansu Province, the largest corn seed production base in China, according to CCM International’s March Issue of Seed China News.

With the continuous influx of corn seed companies, the competition for land resources in Zhangye has become more and more intensive. The absorptive capacity for corn seed manufacturers in Zhangye has almost reached its limit. Revealed by some industrial insiders, the corn seed market in Zhangye has been in a certain chaotic situation, with widespread behaviors like disordered competition and infringements. 

It seems to be a trend that a growing number of seed manufacturers have established their seed production bases in Xinjiang. Apart from some local prominent companies such as Xinjiang Condy Agri-Genetics Co., Ltd., Xinjiang Huaxi Seed Co., Ltd. and Xinjiang Xinshi Seed Co., Ltd., a number of large seed companies from outside have also developed corn seed production bases in Xinjiang, like Shandong Denghai Seeds Co., Ltd. (Shandong Denghai), Liaoning Dongya Seed Co., Ltd. (Liaoning Dongya), Shanxi Tunyu Seed Industry Co., Ltd., Origin Agritech Limited (Origin), etc. Moreover, some multinational companies also have collaborative business of corn seed production in Xinjiang. 

 

Shandong Denghai has a large base for corn seed production in Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture (Ili), located in western Xinjiang. The corn seed production base in Ili is able to provide around 40,000 tonnes of corn seeds each year, mainly for the company's leading corn varieties promoted in the major corn planting areas. In 2009, the company collaborated with a subordinate unit of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to buil a corn seed processing plant in Bole City, northwest of Xinjiang. Aiming to compete for local corn seed producing bases, Shandong Denghai made capital injection to its subsidiary in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture (Changji) at the end of 2011.

 

Origin, a technology-focused corn seed company listed in NASDAQ, has also enhanced its corn seed production capacity in Xinjiang. After founding a joint venture with a local prominent seed player which is affiliated to Fifth Agricultural Division, Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a corn seed production base with premier corn processing equipment was under construction which is expected to be initially launched in Sept. 2012, with the investment of totally over USD46.55 million (RMB300 million). Revealed by Niu Jinsheng, President of the joint venture, the total planting area for corn seed production should be over 6,666.67 ha. (100,000 mu) by then.

 

Nanjing Shenzhou Seed Co., Ltd. (Nanjing Shenzhou), a Sino-Japanese joint venture, established a joint venture in Xinjiang with a local state-owned partner, Tenth Agricultural Division affiliated to Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps in May 2011. The new founded subsidiary is going to build a 2000 ha. hybrid corn seed production base in 3 years.

 

Seed companies in local and outside generally produce corn seed by signing contracts with local corn growers or cooperate with subordinate units of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, a special organization integrating military and enterprise which has large areas of farm lands and intensive agricultural production system.

China Holds First Matchmaking Meeting for Direct Pesticide Sales

Hosted by Farmer's Daily, the 2012 Matchmaking Meeting for Pesticide Enterprises and Large Pesticide Consumers was successfully held in Beijing City on 17 March-18 March, 2012. It's considered to be an innovation measure for domestic pesticide industry to try such a new sales mode which directly connects pesticide enterprises and large pesticide consumers, based on CCM International’s latest issue of Crop Protection China News.

Attracting more than 300 agricultural cooperatives and large-scale plantations and over 60 large pesticide enterprises, the meeting turned out to be very satisfactory. There were totally 42 procurement letters of intent signed at the meeting, valuing about USD5.87 million.

Representatives from all parties sang highly of this new sales mode and expressed their appreciation to such a face-to-face communication platform. Pesticide enterprises, including some very famous pesticide giants such as Shenzhen Noposion Agrochemical Co., Ltd. (Noposion), DuPont and Qingdao Hailir Pesticides and Chemicals Co., Ltd., all attached great importance to the opportunity and brought along their own advantaged products.

"I have attended many pesticide industrial exhibitions, but most of the participants were pesticide enterprises and dealers. This is my first time to attend such a meeting with plenty of attendances from enterprises and large-scale plantations. We now have considered the direct matchmaking among our company, agricultural cooperatives and large-scale plantations to be one of the big pictures of sales and long-term strategies," said Mr. Wang, Vice General Manager of Noposion.

Noposion, as one of the beneficiaries of the matchmaking meeting, has won three procurement letters of intent valuing USD678,730. Some other companies such as Shaanxi Sunger Road Bio-Science Co., Ltd. and Bainongsida (Beijing) Agrochemicals Co., Ltd. also signed lots of procurement letters of intent with agricultural cooperatives and large-scale growers.

Not only pesticide enterprises but also those large pesticide consumers have benefited from the matchmaking meeting. Discussing business face to face with pesticide enterprises has offered large-scale growers a good opportunity to get much cheaper pesticides (20%-50% off the market price), more quality products and even customized products.

"I attend the meeting not only for purchasing quality pesticides, but also for seeking a professional and integrated solution for the green and organic development of my 5,333 ha. medlar farm," said Mr. Qin, President of a medlar production company in Qinghai Province.

Actually, it is very wise for Farmer's Daily to hold such a matchmaking meeting in China at present. After several years' development, especially in the past three years, the step of rural land circulation transactions has speeded up. On one hand, with the development of urbanization, lots of small-scale growers abandoned their farmland for finding works in cities. On the other hand, lots of large-scale growers now appear in China after policies are carried out by Chinese Government to encourage land leasing in rural areas. Moreover, according to recent government reports released on the Fifth Session of the 11th National People's Congress (5 March-14 March, 2012), China will continue to encourage the development of large-scale growers and is planning to carry out policies to cite those large-scale growers who have made great contribution to local grain production.

The signal from the government's direction and policies may inspire domestic pesticide industry that the matchmaking between pesticide enterprises and large-scale growers is one of the irreversible trends in domestic pesticide market. The old sales mode that pesticide dealers dominate sales links is no longer suitable for the development of domestic pesticide industry, even though it is still the mainstream. With the great opportunity of sales channel innovation, domestic pesticide enterprises should prepare themselves and make a long-term strategy toward the new sales mode.

Jiangsu Xinmin Being Optimistic on PBST Prospect

Jiangsu Xinmin Textile Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Xinmin), a listed textile company in Wujiang City, Jiangsu Province, is actively accelerating R&D of poly(butylene succinate-co-terephthalate) (PBST), according to CCM International’s April issue of Biomaterials China News.

 

Jiangsu Xinmin has been doing R&D of PBST since 2009. Meanwhile, Jiangsu Xinmin has got the financial subsidy of about USD870,000 to support its R&D of PBST from Wujiang City Government since 2010. In fact, Wujiang City has also provided other financial subsidy of about USD690,000 to Jiangsu Xinmin since 2009, in order to help Jiangsu Xinmin improve its innovative ability, according to 2009, 2010 and 2011 annual reports of Jiangsu Xinmin.

The following factors may be the major reasons for Jiangsu Xinmin to invest in R&D of PBST. Currently, R&D of PBST is still in primary stage and PBST is produced by poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT). Compared with PBS, a biodegradable material widely used in plastics and films, PBST has some obvious advantages in fiber field.

Although PBS has good biodegradability, its application in fiber field is limited by its low molecular weight, low melting temperature and poor mechanical property. Meanwhile, although PBT's biodegradability is bad, PBT is widely used in textiles, nonwovens and engineering plastics, thanks to its good thermal and processing properties. Therefore, PBST not only has good  biodegradability but overcome the disadvantages of PBS, which creates a bright prospect in fiber field for PBST.

 

Meanwhile, PBST has better spinnability than that of PBS. Compared with PBS's poor performance, such as fragile PBS fiber and poor extension ability, PBST extension ability can reach 2 times and its strength is enough for further processing after spinning. Moreover, PBST also has a little better performance in resiliency and boiling water shrinkage.

 

Furthermore, as a listed company, Jiangsu Xinmin can expand business scope and attract more attention of investors in stock market through developing new environmental-friendly fibers.

 

Moreover, as a new environmentally friendly material, PBST, just like PBS, will also get much more support from the Chinese government in the next several years, thanks to the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for New Materials Industry" released by Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT)  on February 22, 2012.

Etoxazole, Spinetoram Enjoy Promising Market

In last issue, CCM International has introduced ten pesticides with formal registration approved in China in 2012 including three insecticides: etoxazole, spinetoram and diafenthiuron. A further introduction of the first two will be shown in this issue with CCM international’s in-depth investigation. As investigated, etoxazole and spinetoram would earn more and more market shares in the near future, according to CCM International’s April issue of Insecticides China News.

       

Guangdong Tianhe Agricultural Materials Co., Ltd. (Guangdong Tianhe, one of the largest pesticide agents in China) has been cooperating with Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd. (Sumitomo) and Dow AroSciences LLC (DAS) to take charge of the sales of etoxazole's and spinetoram's formulations respectively in China. According to Manager Zhong from Sales Department of Guangdong Tianhe in charge of business in South China, both products are patented proprietary products, whose future development will be bright based on the regular pattern of pesticide development in China.

Etoxazole entered Chinese market in 2010, mainly used to combat red spider on citrus in southern China. Compared with spirodiclofen, its rival, the advantages of etoxazole are very obvious–It's available for low-temperature store and has a longer validity. Though at present etoxazole's price is higher than spirodiclofen's, using etoxazole is more effective in terms of cost of drug use because of its high efficacy and low usage.

 

Spinetoram just arrived in China in 2011. At present, spinetoram is mainly used for controlling pests like thrips. Being a new comer, it has many good qualities to be discovered. After continuous application, farmers will gradually come to know its advantages.           

Etoxazole, a new kind of acaricide with special structure, was developed by Sumitomo in 1994. It can be used to control tetranychus truncatus Ehara, mulberry mite and Panonychus citri (McGregor), etc. According to China’s State Intellectual Property Office, Sumitomo has obtained national invention patents for 93% etoxazole technical and 110g/L etoxazole SC in China in 2009.

 

Spinetoram, first initiated by DAS in Q1 2004, is a bio-insecticide with high efficacy, broad spectrum and low toxicity. In late 2007, DAS began the commercial production and sales of spinetoram in the US and a few other countries around the world.
