China Citric Eurasian Economic Commission anti-dumping investigation
Baita club recently , according to the Information Bureau of the Eurasian Economic Commission informed the Eurasian Economic
Commission made in China, announced the start of an anti-dumping investigation of citric acid . 2010 to 2012 , imports of citric
acid from China to the customs union grew by 36.4% ; 2013 to October 1 , the scale of citric acid imports from China increased year
on year by 5.8 %, while prices fell by 8.6% , the margin of dumping as 50.4% .
2010 to 2012 , the demand for the Customs Union member states increased by 15.4% citric acid , citric acid production in the
customs union business grew by 4.1% , while sales of the Customs Union of citric acid business has decreased by 9.4 % for the 2010
inventory 8.7 times year-end. In this period, the Customs Union of citric acid on the market share of Chinese products increased by
8.6 percentage points. Decline in the domestic price of citric acid affected the Customs Union member states such products
producer’s sales price, lower cost of production of citric acid in the Customs Union increased by 4.4 % of the cases , the Customs
Union market sales prices declined by 9.1% , resulting in a substantial reduction in the customs union manufacturers sales profits
.
The anti-dumping investigation is the Eurasian Economic Commission should apply citric acid plant in Russia do not erg Rhodes
conducted , Belarus Skidelsky sugar mills in Russia do not erg Rhodes citric acid plant expressed support. Both companies are
manufacturers of citric acid from 2010 to 2013 within the customs union , citric acid production within the customs union are two

Methanol economy is very far away from us
“Methanol Economy ” concept by the Nobel Prize winner George A. Ola in 2006 in his book “Crossing the oil and gas era methanol
economy ,” a book first proposed and discussed in detail . Its important background and theoretical basis is: With the reduction of
oil and gas resources, particularly the arrival of peak oil , the world will face a serious energy crisis. In response to the Continue reading
Border ports of domestic potash steady rise slightly due to tariff
Last week, border , port KCl mainstream situation remains steady. Border crossings arrival is still relatively slow , now Russia’s red port delivery price of around 1,900 yuan / ton, white potassium 2020-2050 yuan / ton , the recent Russian red and supply of ; harbor tight supply, the majority of traders in the hands of non- supply , plus the price of white 2200-2250 yuan / ton, the Russia-Belarus quoted in 2150-2220 yuan / ton, the Russian red in the 2030-2080 yuan / ton, slightly lower , where high prices are mainly concentrated in the south harbor. Large particles offer in 2350-2380 yuan / ton. With domestic rail freight increase potassium chloride salt lake , station prices rose 40-50 yuan / ton. Nur potassium traders pick the price will also increase 40-50 yuan / ton.
Market Analysis , February downstream potassium fertilizer procurement in general, coupled with the port to the shore after the end of February is expected to increase , domestic potassium have started , the market outlook is bearish sentiment increased. Especially concerned with the Northeast market demand decline, the customs border goods market will be affected. But in the short term , the potassium chloride market remains temporarily in short supply , the price is still capable firm. In addition , investors also need to pay close attention to the case of imported potash shipped .
Potassium sulfate compound fertilizer good demand downstream , Mannheim started acceptable factory orders filled , the higher offer, plus shipping Lop tight , so the short-term market conditions still remain strong potassium .
Future Forecast : I expect the recent KCl temporarily remain stable, high potassium remains strong.(http://www.lubonchem.com supply)

Plant Extracts Details
Plant extract is plant as raw material, in accordance with the need to extract, through physical and chemical separation process, directional gain and enrichment plants in the one or more active ingredients, without changing its effective component structure formed products.
There are many different varieties, plant extracts can be divided into pigment products, natural sweeteners, dietary supplements, medicinal materials, and cosmetics use oils, because these products for agricultural and forestry products, is easily affected by the weather, plant diseases and insect pests, planting area and other factors, so the raw material purchase price and quantity in different years there will be fluctuations, the price fluctuation of raw materials made of natural plant extracts product price, the production will have a certain degree of change, market supply and demand imbalance. Supply and demand changes unceasingly along with the year and various market factors, the imbalance between supply and demand situation has occurred.
In recent years, the plant extract more and more get the attention of medicine, food industry, although the plant extracts industry is an emerging industry, developing rapidly in the recent ten years. Plant extract industry has become one of the fastest growing industry in China, statistics show that in 2011 China’s plant extracts exports reached $1.13 billion, up 47% from a year earlier, compound growth rate of 21.91% in 2002-2011.
At the same time also to become the main force in Chinese exports, exports accounted for the proportion of total exports of Chinese medicine products more than 40%. In the first quarter of 2013 plant extracts in China imports and exports of $410 million, increased 12.1% year-on-year. Which exports to $330 million, rose 11.2%, accounting for 47% of the Chinese traditional medicine merchandise exports, plant extracts becoming the first Chinese medicine export more than $1 billion in merchandise categories.
In order to promote the healthy and sustainable development of plant extracts industry，In April 2012 medicare chamber of commerce has carried out “Standard of plant extracts of international business” And released in July 2013 the ginkgo biloba extract, cranberry extract, ginseng extract, giant knotweed extract, centella asiatica extract, extract quasi, milk thistle extract of seven plant extracts international business standards nternational business standards and release, will improve the plant extracts quality standard system, improve the industry admittance mechanism, strengthen self-discipline of the industry enterprises. Chinese plant extracts industry will become the new strategic pillar industry for national economic and social development.（Recommended Products:Spirulina）
