Research and Markets: China Agribusiness Report Q3 2011 - Industry will continue to be strongly driven by government policies

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/9e9a71/china_agribusiness) has announced the addition of the "China Agribusiness Report Q3 2011" report to their offering.

Business Monitor International's China Agribusiness service provides proprietary medium term price forecasts for key commodities, including corn, wheat, rice, sugar, cocoa, coffee, soy and milk; in addition to newly-researched competitive intelligence on leading agribusiness producers, traders and suppliers; in-depth analysis of latest industry developments; and essential industry context on China's agribusiness service.

BMI View: China's agriculture industry will continue to be strongly driven by government policies in its drive to ensure national food security, especially in grains self-sufficiency. A dominant trend as a result of that would be in a more aggressive pursuit of overseas farmland acquisitions. Indeed, we note that the trend of 'going global' has featured strongly in the government's 12th Five Year Plan (2010-2015) and we expect a rise in such activity in Western African states as well as in Latin America. Securing farmland for the production of grains and livestock will be the top priority.

Key Forecasts

• Corn consumption growth to 2015: 19.5%. Growth will be fuelled by demand growth in the livestock sector. Increased use of corn in the industrial sector (corn starch and ethanol), will hinge on corn demand for the feed sector.
• Pork and poultry production growth to 2015: 22.3% and 24.7% respectively. Continued consolidation of the Chinese meat industry should support large-scale production and increase efficiencies of scale in production so as to meet the growing demand of a national diet that is increasing its protein intake.
• Soybean consumption growth to 2015: 71.6%. The livestock sector will continue to drive consumption for the grain. At present, approximately 70% of soybean consumption is allocated to the livestock industry.
• 2011 Forecast Real GDP Growth: 8.9% ?? 2011 Consumer Price Inflation Forecast: 4.3% ave (Higher than 2010 at 3.3%)
