Breaking through the cycle of production and sales, the reporter has learned from food that the main ingredient of the food, potato starch, has been rising since last summer and prices have risen from the low of 2009 to 3,950 yuan per ton to 6,400 yuan per ton in May this year. 60%, and far more than the historical high of 2008 5,300 yuan per ton.
According to reports, potato starch is a very strong product for seasonal production and sales. The harvest period of potatoes and the production period of potato starch are from September to November each year. The sales period is from September of this year to September of the coming year. Therefore, the regularity of prices is also very strong. Often in the September-November period of the current year, stocks are relatively abundant, prices begin to fall, and prices tend to be flat before and after the end of the year. From July to September in the coming year, they tend to rise back to the high point due to the shortage of inventory, and to the new in September. After the potato is harvested and processed, the supply is sufficient and the price is adjusted again.
However, the price of potato starch has not fallen back since the export of new potato harvested and processed in 2009. It still soars during the harvest season, and shows stable signs at the price of RMB 5,700 per ton in January-March this year, but it is still slightly slowing down. As prices rose in April, they began to rise rapidly again. According to past rules, in the next two months, July-September each year, it will be the period of time when the potato starch will not be connected, and the price will reach a high point. Therefore, at least until September this year, the price of potato starch may continue to rise, exceeding the price of 6,400 yuan per ton. This puts pressure on meat, pasta, and snack food companies that use potato starch. Some companies have to consider costs and have to reduce their quality and choose alternatives. Potato starch enterprises are even more vulnerable to the enemy's back and forth, and are suffering from the dual problems of insufficient raw materials, rising costs and loss of users. In some potato starch sales companies, tapioca starch and corn starch were added to potato starch.
Domestic production cut leads to a sharp increase in prices According to industry insiders, the direct increase in the price of potato starch is due to a reduction in potato production in 2009.
In 2009, due to droughts in the southwest and diseases in Northeast China, domestic potato production dropped drastically, from 350,000 tons in 2008 to 158,000 tons in 2009, a decrease of 51.39%.
The drastic reduction in output led to a serious shortage of potato sources for processing potato starch, even for small enterprises that forced domestic potato processing to stop production, and large companies that processed potato starch were underemployed. Due to the shortage of supply, the price was naturally raised. There were also some potato growers and traders who saw the good market conditions of the potatoes. There were also acts of selling and reluctant sellers, which further promoted the price rise of potato and potato starch.
The increase in imports helped boost the domestic supply of rising prices, while downstream users turned their attention to imports. However, imported potato starch is usually more expensive than domestically produced potato starch because if imported, it must pay an additional 18%-35% anti-dumping duty on the basis of a normal tariff of 15%.
Since February 6, 2007, the Chinese government has protected the interests of potato farmers and potato starch companies in China, prevented the dumping of European potato starch, prevented domestic companies from excessively relying on raw material imports, and imposed anti-dumping measures on imported potato starch originating in the European Union. tax. Among them, an anti-dumping tax of 18% was imposed on the products of the Dutch Ivebe company and the German Ivebe potato starch factory, and a 17% anti-dumping duty was imposed on French potato starch from Roquet, France, and 35% on other EU company potato starches. Anti-dumping duties.
For the potato starch procurement companies that have to rely on imports to supplement the domestic market gap, the cost has increased significantly, and the high tax rate of imports has also pushed up the overall price of domestic potato starch.
On April 19, 2010, the Ministry of Commerce issued an announcement on the mid-term review of anti-dumping of potato starch. After the announcement, domestic potato starch soared again by 15%.
The price hike in potato starch prices will not only make potato starch production and procurement companies face difficulties, but will also push up the corresponding food prices, and should be noticed.
What is a good way to stop the rapid rise in the price of potato starch? Industry sources said in an interview that the first priority is to ensure supply and quality. To improve potato planting techniques, prevent and reduce the impact of natural disasters. To improve varieties, develop specialized potato varieties, and separate and cultivate vegetables and potato industrial potatoes. In Europe, starch is matured from the breeding technology of potato raw materials, with high starch content, specialized varieties are subdivided, and advanced purification technology, high product yield, low cost, and industrial advantages over domestic potatoes.
The state imposes anti-dumping duties on European potato starch products in order to protect the legitimate interests of domestic farmers and the potato industry and to avoid the impact of foreign product misconduct. However, high anti-dumping duties are virtually bound to bind the domestic industry when they must rely on imports. Some insiders suggested whether the anti-dumping duties can be flexibly controlled. In the case of potato production failure, the anti-dumping tariffs will be lowered, or the anti-dumping tax will be used to subsidize domestic processing and technological progress in the domestic potato industry. This will effectively protect the domestic potato industry. Orderly, healthy development.
