Following our earlier info about Crop 2012, 

http://universaltradingint.blogspot.com/2012/07/be-conscious-tomato-paste-quantity.html

Herewith would like share the current condition of tomato pasta

CB 36/38

Price stable in March-April’13. Fatories still have some stocks,  the price won't change too greatly till end of May. Some factories still keep their goods to wait for higher selling price in the future.

When the stock is limited after May, the price will be higher.

HB or CB 28/30

The condition is very serious.

Because in 2012 few factories produced 28-30%, some factories have sold out their stock now.Nowadays stock is very limited, difficult to find high lycopene.

Even there are some stocks, the price will increase very high.

It is estimated after mid of May, most factories sold our their stocks.

Crop 2013

As usual, it will begin from Aug- Sep. 2013.

The farmers planted more tomatoes than crop 2012, but still not big quantities like crop 2010 and 2011 because many small-middle sized factories still do not operate.  The price for crop 2013 will be almost as same as crop 2012, and the stock will be more than crop 2012. 

The tomato seeds have been planted.Now in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, there are low temperature.Although it is spring, still lower than past year. 

The clear condition of tomato pasta can be seen clearly after July, 2013. 

It is estimated more 28-30% tomato pasta will be produced in crop 2013, especially in Inner Mongolia.

PRODUCE and BUY MORE, instead. WHY???

Greetings  from Surabaya, Indonesia!!

As for today's sharing, we would like to post about the Soybean Trade by China and Russia.

In this sharing, the only purpose of our sharing is we'd like to broaden our own knowledge, as we notice that you may already noticed that China is the largest importer of soybean, including in form of meal and oil. So is Russia.

In concern of big trading on this commodity, demand from China as well as Russia is considered significant. As of recent news, China order cancellation is effecting on market price. One republic and the effect is one world market. 

Taking deeper consideration on this issue, we have search some news source on WHY, and HOW these nations could give such significant effect both to their own domestic economy and world economy in certain.

China is recorded as the largest producer as well as consumer of soybean meals.
It was ever recorded that 14 million of production is equally calculated with the 14 million consumption. And nearly  60 percent of all soybeans entering international trade today go to China. Then where all these commodity is consumed domestically?

Taking back on the background on the history, it was The soybean domesticated some 3,000 years ago by farmers in eastern China. But it wasn’t until well after World War II that the crop gained agricultural prominence, enabling it to join wheat, rice, and corn as one of the world’s four leading crops. This rise in the demand for soybeans reflected the discovery by animal nutritionists that combining 1 part soybean meal with 4 parts grain, usually corn, in feed rations would sharply boost the efficiency with which livestock and poultry converted grain into animal protein. 

As China’s appetite for meat, milk, and eggs has soared, so too has its use of soybean meal. And since nearly half the world’s pigs are in China, the lion’s share of soy use is in pig feed. Its fast-growing poultry industry is also dependent on soybean meal. In addition, China now uses large quantities of soy in feed for farmed fish.

Therefore, the only factor that will influence the quantity of China's soybean consumption is the consumption of poultry products, which even so, it'd be leading to culture.

What about Russia then?

There is similarity on the cause and effect of the production and consumption in China and Russia. The difference is only the core factor. In China, it is part of their culture in consuming poultry products, while in Russia, it is one of the government stage to increasing demand on poultry products. 

These two countries are only depicting the big consumption in the world, while the other countries are now getting dependent as well on the soybean products. The next questions are, how the market suplier could fulfill the demand on remain field and not increasing?? Effecting the price? Effecting the culture? Effecting the consumption behavior??


On the next sharing, we may take the this as an topic :)

Have a nice day!!
 

End Year Greeting

Wishing you a Merry Blue Christmas

B2B in Social Media, Necessary?

When so called as Social Media, seems it’s a flat and old-post considerable. However, logically the more it’s being considered universally, the more perspectives and sides to disclose.

For this first wondering moment and reviewing some articles about technology and social media used in B2B content, herewith would like to share a post as general review and input for ourselves as a company and should you also consider this as an valuable input, that would be also our own appreciation could indirectly assist you J

As for me, everything comes from the inside, well prepared analysis, strategy to implement and WHO to implement and willing to implement are the core of any execution of riding the Social Media trends. Whether it’s big and small entity, the “involvement” to step on the platform would be the requirement for the executives.

Being asked to maximize the social as for various purposes, perspectives aroused from all the executives involved. Direct and indirect purposes should be shared, connected and aligned, especially between the leader and the employee. On the time when employee positioned to report /fulfill their liability without being shared and treated as the one who accomplish and coercive application instead, unsettled result and even below the expectation of being efficient and effective.

Therefore, firstly should be shared is the main purpose of being involved in social media. Generally, it’d be about building the “connection” with customers. Receiving more feedback, understanding more and assisting more. However, sadly, the leader might not acknowledging the purpose and the process, which frequently lead to the implementation of questionable quality only to satisfy the directive perfunctorily, this indeed, as may acknowledged, won’t never create any value, inside and outside company.

Otherwise, understanding the concept as well as understanding the implementation, may take more involvement, start by understanding the platform, the background as well as establishing the connection with first customers, the employee. Willing emotionally, could be aroused by each employee by noticing the involvement of the leader, the appreciation, and the community building among the division.

Would be unexpected reverse results whether the purpose of the technology utilization through social media misinterpreted as short period of low cost development and high earning, precisely in B2B content. One pitfall that could be acknowledged is whether the leader unable to recognize and classify both tangible and intangible result. Further, some employee as well as target customer not born with talent of writing, sharing and responding the issue posted, therefore, shall the company could be managed on expanding the capability of each employee and leader as well as engaging them to be involved and comprehensively establishing the community, small community must be even good.
