China Green Agriculture Inc's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
Based on our internal estimates, there are approximately 2,000 organic fertilizer manufacturers in China with no discernible market leaders in the sector. We believe our competitors are currently comprised of approximately 90% small-sized local manufacturers and 10% large national manufacturers such as Yongye International, Inc. We believe we are among the largest national fertilizer manufacturers.
Gufeng’s primary competitor is Stanley Fertilizer Co., Ltd. (“Stanley”), a compound fertilizer manufacturer based in Linyi, Shandong Province, which was listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange (China) in June 2011. Stanley manufactures various kinds of compound fertilizers and tailored fertilizers which were in direct compete with Gufeng.
The smaller competitors of ours are generally producers of amino acid compound fertilizers which are very price competitive. However, lacking of adequate quality or process control technologies, these companies always sell products with inconsistent quality.
The Chinese fertilizer market has been fully opened to foreign companies since China’s entry into the World Trade Organization in December 2006. Accordingly, the PRC government has increased its fertilizer import quota and, since January 2007, has reduced the import tariffs on foreign fertilizer to 1%. However, foreign fertilizers are generally more expensive than PRC manufactured fertilizers and are not customized to soil conditions influenced by China’s diverse climate and terrains.
Agricultural Products
The competitive market of our agriculture products varies among our three main products: Top-grade flowers, green vegetables and fruits, multi-colored seedlings.
Top-grade Flowers: The main competitor to our flowers and flower seedlings is Sanyi Agriculture Technology Co., Ltd. (Beijing). We believe that our flower products have comparative advantages in terms of the advanced technologies we apply, the superior species of the seedlings we select and the efficiency and stability due to strict quality control. In addition, our greenhouse facilities enable us to produce flower seedlings year-round.
Green Vegetables and Fruits: Our competitors are primarily the vegetable planting centers and planters in Shaanxi, Shandong and Gansu provinces that produce vegetables such as cucumbers and peppers. With the aid from our green fertilizers that improve soil conditions and limit bacterial growth, our competitive advantage lies in the advanced greenhouse facilities which contribute to the pollution-free end products.
Multi-colored Seedlings: In the market of Multi-colored seedlings, one of our main competitors is Kunming Anthura horticulture Co. Ltd. Our products, primarily red photiniaserrulata, are imported from other countries with high survival rates.
