China's total import and export value topped 2.21 trillion US dollars in 2009, down 13.9 percent year-on-year, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

Of this total, the value of goods exported was 1.2 trillion US dollars, down 16 percent year-on-year, while the value of goods imported was 1.01 trillion US dollars, decreasing by 11.2 percent from the previous year, according to the report released on NBS' official website Thursday.

China's Consumer Price Index (CPI), a main inflation gauge, dipped 0.7 percent in 2009 year-on-year, with food prices registering a 0.7-percent year-on-year rise.

NBS figures revealed that China's gross domestic product (GDP) rose 8.7 percent year-on-year in 2009 to reach 33.53 trillion yuan (about 4.9 trillion US dollars).

China's fiscal revenue topped 6.85 trillion yuan in 2009, up 11.7 percent from the previous year. Of this total, taxes collected for the year reached 5.95 trillion yuan, up 9.8 percent or an increase of 529.1 billion yuan from 2008, said the NBS.

Industry leaders and their representatives came from across Europe and the world to the gala event in Geneva, where Federation Flour Mills took out eight of the ten major award categories.

Hosting proceedings was renowned commodities trader Gunter Untterman. In his formal opening address he notbly addressed the issue of animal feed supply products being plagued by raw materials flooding the market. This has been of considerable concern to export nations from the EU

At such a time the European milling has managed to maintain the quality of their wheat bran supply. This has helped re-enforce the reputation of European wheat flour, wheat bran and animal feed products on the world stage. For this Mr. Untermann reminded us they were to be commended.

As European exporters, the mill is now poised to export more and more of their flour, wheat bran, grain and feed grain to the world. Thus showcasing European product on the international stage. Federation Mills itself is a consortium of privately owned European millers, producers and growers.

Based in Paris and operating in the main wheat and flour producing countries of Europe and Eastern Europe, they run a highly skilled and recognised team.

It would seem that the reputation of European agricultural products is still very strong and in capable hands.

China's imports of malting barley may jump by up to 50% this year as its brewing industry - the world's biggest - returns to higher consumption rates after a push into low-alcohol beers aimed at women drinkers.

The Canadian Wheat Board, one of the world's biggest sellers of the grain, has pegged China's malting barley imports at 1.6m-1.8m tonnes, compared with 1.2m tonnes last year.

The increase reflects a return to malting barley use keeping pace with beer production, after a period in which brewers favoured beers containing about 3% alcohol, which require less malting barley to manufacture than the conventional products, with alcohol levels of 4.0-4.3%.

Lower alcohol lines have proved particularly popular thanks to an increase in beer drinking among Chinese women, who prefer a "light taste", a report by analysis group Research and Markets said last week.

Weak harvest

Bob Cuthbert, CWB's senior barley marketing manager, said, following a trip to China, that the move towards lower rates of malting barley consumption had "pretty much reached the limit".

Demand for the ingredient was now "expected to rise to keep up with increased beer production" which,according to China Business News, rose by 6% to 20.5m litres in the first half of last year.

Imports were being further encouraged by a weak Chinese malting barley harvest, with output falling by an estimated 22%.

'Good premium'

The board said it expected Canada's malting barley sales to China to rise "significantly" from last year's 400,000 tonnes, with prospects also boosted by the poor quality of Australian production.

Australia's malting barley crop, typically a leading target for Chinese buyers, was damaged by late rains.

"The bottom line is we should be able to increase Canada's market share at values that are a good premium over feed [barley] values," the board said.

Even though a safety certificate for genetically modified rice was issued in October last year, the central government says more controls will be needed before people are allowed to grow such crops.
Vice-Minister of Agriculture Wei Chaoan said yesterday that safety licences for transgenic food were not the same thing as permits for commercial planting.
"We need regional production experiments that are stricter than for common crops," Wei said.
He said transgenic food was a major trend in the nation's agricultural development, but the central government would apply the technology cautiously to ensure it was safe for consumers.
The Ministry of Agriculture issued certificates for two genetically modified rice species and one GM corn species in October, making China the first country to allow the use of such technology in its most important staple foods. The moves sparked debate on the safety and timing of the introduction of GM rice to the market.
Jiang Gaoming, the chief scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Botany, expressed his concerns over the safety of GM rice in his blog, calling for an environmental assessment system and solutions to health problems it might cause.
He was quoted by the Liaoning Daily as saying that the safety problem was an insurmountable barrier because of uncertainties about three aspects of GM rice: the chain reaction after the biological structure was changed; the potential risks in changing the food chain; and concerns about pollution and unwanted proliferation. Jiang said that in theory GM technology should not enter the food chain in the first place.
At a session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on Friday, top hybrid rice scientist Yuan Longping said GM food was an inevitable trend. He also volunteered to eat it for testing. He called on volunteers to try GM food, as this would be the only way to find out whether it was safe for humans. "Only when the next generation of these volunteers have no health problems will GM food be proved safe," he said.
GM rice is disease and climate change resistant, and has enhanced nutrition and higher yields. Wei said yesterday that China still faced "a tightening balance" despite six years of consecutive growth in grain production.
After northern and central areas suffered an unusually cold winter, some of the country's southwestern areas, including Yunnan , Guangxi , Sichuan , Chongqing and Guizhou , are experiencing a bad drought, posing a threat to the summer harvest.
Wei said he expected rice use to rise by four million to five million tonnes a year as the population grew, reaching 525 million tonnes this year.
