Foreword

Dear Reader,

It is our pleasure to present the latest issue of Glitnir's Seafood Industry Report. In this issue we focus on the Seafood Industry in China. We are now in our third year of publication and are grateful for the good feedback we have received from our industry partners. We will issue 5 reports altogether this year, focusing on one country or region in each report.

In March 2006 Íslandsbanki (ISB) became Glitnir in a global group rebranding, unifying our national and international operations under one brand.

In China, fish is a sign of affluence. As one decade of marvelous economic growth brings China unprecedented prosperity, its significance in the global seafood industry has also reached a new height. Today, China is by far the world’s largest supplier of aquatic products, both by means of capture and aquaculture. At the same time, China is also one of the most important consumer markets for seafood, with a fast growing appetite for exotic and high-end seafood products. Its seafood processing industry continues to attract substantial investments from around the world. In short, the vastness of Chinese seafood industry presents many opportunities to foreign investors, in virtually all of its sectors. This report aims to give an analytical overview of the current Chinese seafood industry and present our understanding of its likely future developments.

We trust you find this report of benefit. We at Glitnir are proud of our strong team of seafood industry expertsand look forward to working with you in our quest to make the seafood industry even more dynamic, efficient and profitable.

You can contact the seafood team via [email protected] and www.glitnir.is/seafood

Best regards,

Main Findings

• China is the largest producer of seafood in the world, representing some 35% of the total global seafood production.

• Freshwater and seawater species represent 44% and 56%, respectively of all aquatic production in China.

• Total aquatic production in China stood at 49 MMT in 2004, approx. 64% of this volume comes from aquaculture farming. This makes China the largest aquaculture nation in the world and the only country in the world where farmed fish production exceeds wild catch. In 2004 farmed freshwater species represented 59% of all farming in China while seawater species accounted for 41%.

• Main farming species are shellfish (seawater) and carp (freshwater).

• Shandong province receives the largest portion of foreign investment in seafood processing, the majority of which comes from Japan and Korea.

• Japan is the major export destination for Chinese aquatic product exports, taking more than half of all China’s seafood exports in recent years.

• All three sectors of the Chinese food market (retail, wholesale and foodservice) has experienced significant growth in recent years and we believe that this development will continue as purchasing power increases.

• Seafood consumption is expected to increase substantially in coming years. Seafood consumption in China was 25 kg per capita in 2004 and is expected to reach 36 kg per capita in 2020.

• Looking into the future, tilapia is likely to surpass other cultured species in importance.

• Production of tilapia worldwide is likely to expand robustly in coming years, as a result of strong investment in that sector.

• China continues to be the world’s main producer of tilapia and the main export market for Chinese tilapia is the U.S.

Investment in the Chinese Seafood Industry

The purpose of Glitnir’s China Seafood Report is to assist our current and potential clients in creating value by making sound investment decisions in the seafood industry in China. The value-chain of the industry is shown below:

Supply of RawMaterials

Catch / Culture

ProcessingPrimary / Secondary

Distribution Trading /

Import & Export

RetailConsumers / Marketing

& Sales

A business may choose to devote its effort to one, several or all of the sectors in this chain. A sound investment decision, however, must always be based on a clear understanding of each sector in which the value is created. The first part of the Report is dedicated to this purpose. It provides a general overview of the development and current status in aquatic catch and culture, seafood processing, distribution and retail in China.

Based on this understanding, a section in this Report named “Investment Opportunity in Focus” aims to identify potential investment opportunities in various sectors of the Chinese seafood industry. In each issue, Glitnir’sChina Seafood Report focuses on different investment potentials in the industry. In this issue, the focus is on the culture and processing of tilapia in China.

Recent Economic Development

• Central bank introduced flexibility to the RMB in 2005 allowing its appreciation against major currencies.

• Shift of focus starting in 2006 from an investment-driven economy to a consumption-driven one.

Looming fears of overinvestment still present

- Investment partially boosted by rise in money supply and thus in the available funds for lending.

- Efforts to curb overheating such as interest rate & reserve requirement hikes have been unsuccessful.

Fixed asset investment in real estate slowed although rebound in total FAI has been led by investment in manufacturing (especially consumer goods), natural resource processing and export-oriented industries.

Household consumption on slow but steady rise.

• Transition from power intensive industrial focus to increased emphasis on the service sector both in terms of the sector’s market share in the economy and employment.

• Inflation and interest rates on the rise but expected to stay low.

• Increasing emphasis on quality of growth at the expense of the growth rate for the coming years.

Emphasis on strengthening structure rather than increasing size of industries (increasing efficiency).

Heavier funding towards research and development to encourage technological innovation.

• Concentration of investment in East China begins gradual shift to Central and Western China.

Aquaculture in China

• Total culture area reached 7.28 million hectares for 2004, up by 2.5 percent over 2003.

• About 22 percent of the total culture area is in seawaters, 78 percent is in freshwaters. However, production is divided more evenly – 41% from seawater and 59% from freshwater.

• Culture area expansion is expected to slow down, as the priority has been shifted to increase of productivity and efficiency, rather than expanding blindly.

(in ‘000 hectares) 2004 Total Seawater Farming Area by Regions

• The leading species are molluscs, accounting for approx. 78% of total farmed production, followed by algae (10%), crustaceans, (5.5%) and fish (4%).

• Growth in seawater farming is relatively slow. Production yield per hectare has not been improved significantly in recent years. Yet the expansion of seawater culture areas starts to result in damage to the marine eco-system. Therefore growth in seawater farming is expected to slow down further.

• China’s largest seawater farming area, in the terms of hectares, is in Liaoning province in Northern China. It is followed by Shandong province, with close to 24% of the total farming area.

Carps - 79% of Total Freshwater Culture Output

• The dominant form of freshwater farming in China is pond farming, which occupies 34% of the total freshwater farming area and produces a little over 70% of the total output.

• Carps account for the majority of the output. They contributed more than 79% of all the output of the 1999 freshwater aquaculture output (the distribution today is deemed to be similar), which is equivalent to 47.2% of the total Chinese aquaculture output or 27.4% of the total fisheries output.

• In 1999, carps were valued at CNY74.39 billion at the price of that year, representing 49.8% of the total value of China’s freshwater culture output, or 29.4% of its total fisheries output value.

• Apart from the carp family, tilapia also occupies an important place in the freshwater aquaculture in China. In 1999, it represented approximately 4% of the freshwater culture output (or 561,794 tonnes) and 3.61% of the total value (CNY3.61 billion). The production of tilapia is expected to increase further.

Development of Seafood Processing in China

• Traditionally, most aquatic products sold in the Chinese domestic market are fresh. In 1999, total processed aquatic products amounted to 6.2 million tonnes, accounting for only 15.1% of total aquatic production.

• In recent years, however, seafood processing industry in China has seen significant growth.

• The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture reported that in 2004 the total number of aquatic processing facilities in China was 8,745, an increased from 8,287 in 2003.

• The total processing capacity reached 14.2 million tonnes, representing a 9% increase from the previous year. In 2004, approximately 10.3 million tonnes were actually processed, increased by 13.2% from 2003.

• The majority of the processed aquatic products comes from seawater; freshwater products accounted for a little less than 8% of the total processed quantity in 2004.

• Most of the processing facilities are located in the Chinese costal regions, mainly in Shandong, Zhejiang, Liaoning, Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

Outsource Seafood Processing to China

• As seafood processing is a labour-concentrated industry, the lower labour cost in China attracts a large amount of foreign investment into this sector. Often, tax incentives provided by the Chinese government also play a big role. The hourly pay of Chinese factory labour is estimated at $0.5 (RaboBank estimate).

• Shandong province receives the largest portion of foreign investment in seafood processing, the majority of which comes from Japan and Korea. Fujian province, ranked the second, receives foreign funds from a wider range of regions, including Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, the U.S., Argentina and Denmark.

• In recent years China’s imports and exports of seafood have seen a rapid development. The export value of aquatic products is the highest in the export of agriculture products. The growth has also been driven by growing capability of the fish processing industry.

• The export value of aquatic products mostly occur in provinces along the coast. Coast areas such as Shandong, Guangdong, Liaoning, Zhejiang and Fujian makes up 92% of the total.

• The majority of China’s exports are processed seafood products, consisting of prepared, preserved or frozen product. The leading export products are eel, processed or preserved shrimp and cuttlefish.

• Japan is the major export destination for Chinese aquatic product exports, taking over half of all China’s seafood export over the recent years.

• Given the size of China’s seafood production and its efficient processing industry, China’s accession to the WTO has had an impact on the world seafood market. Accession has allowed China to be subject to the ‘most favoured nation’ tariffs, which applies only to WTO members. This has assisted increases in seafood export from China to other WTO members, raising supply in world markets.

• China was the world’s eighth largest importer of aquatic products in 2003, with an import value of $2.5 bn.

• China’s two main imports were cod (mainly from Russia) and Fish meal (mainly from Peru).

• The seafood trade surplus was $3 billion for 2003 with imports valued at about $2.5 billion and exports at $5.5 billion.

• Much of the imports are destined for re-export following processing in China. Beside the re-export, an increasing share of imports is destined for the domestic market, as the emerging upper class is creating demand for imported seafood.

• China has reduced its tariffs on seafood products since joining the WTO in 2001.

• China also influences the demand side of the world seafood market. Lower tariff barriers have reduced import costs and resulted in greater seafood imports by China.

• All the three sectors of the food market have experienced a significant growth in recent years and we believe that this development will continue as purchasing power increases. Seafood consumption is expected to increase substantially in coming years. Therefore we expect that the position of seafood in the food market will be strong in the future.

• Food retail is on the rise due to consumer’s increasing willingness to spend on foods as a result of growing concerns over food safety and health.

• With urbanisation and marketisation, lifestyles become increasingly fast-paced resulting in growing convenience food and foodservice markets.

• Rapid growth in food wholesale sector could be attributed to the sudden rise of large-scale, national supermarket and hypermarket chains in food retail as well as the increasing preference of consumers to buy in bulk (facilitated by the rise in car ownership).

• Increased purchasing power in recent years has contributed to fast growth in the foodservice sector, including the seafood sector.

Chinese Consumers Prefer the Fresh and Wild Captured

• The Chinese consumers typically prefer live seafood product to chilled or

frozen, and wild caught to farmed.

• However, ordinary Chinese consumers are price sensitive when buying

seafood products.

• Farmed freshwater species such as shrimps, tilapia and carps are mainly

consumed at home. Their appeals to the Chinese consumers are

freshness and economic price.

• Imported high quality and therefore more expensive seafood such as

salmon and crab are mainly absorbed by the food service sector.

• Consumers in China often prefer smaller fish, i.e. 200-500g.

• Wet markets, where seafood is sold fresh or alive, are popular among

the older generations. However, the younger and more affluent city

dwellers tend to go to supermarkets nowadays for their food supply.

Some of the larger modern supermarkets/hypermarkets are furnished

with columns of water tanks to accommodate live seafood for sale.

• Products like fish heads and bellies, discarded else, are popular in China.

Seafood Consumption: Strong Fundamentals

• We expect a strong seafood consumption growth and a strong demand for high quality seafood. Main reasons for that are:

– According to FAO seafood consumption in China is projected to be 35.9 kg/year per capita in 2020, an increase of 41% compared to the 2004 consumption.

– The higher consumption of seafood in urban areas, compared to rural areas, indicates that the increased urbanization will lead to increased consumption of seafood.

– Dramatic rise is expected in China’s middle class in next 5-10 years. In 2005 the middle class accounted for 90 million inhabitants but is projected to account for 650 million in 2015. Therefore, increased purchasing power is likely to result in higher seafood consumption.

– Chinese consumers are sensitive to product quality regardless of low disposable income, compared to developed countries. Demand for high quality seafood is therefore expected to increase as purchasing power increases.

5) Investment Opportunity in Focus: Culture & Processing of Tilapia in China

Glitnir Seafood Industry Report - China

34

Important Aquaculture Product of the 21st Century

Tilapia is one of the most widely cultured species in the world. FAO reports production in 85 countries, including China.• Wild catch is being replaced by aquaculture. Tilapia is most often farmed in:

– Ponds– Cages– Raceways, round tanks, re-circulating systems– Ranching (lake releases)– Freshwater, Brackish water, estuarine and marine

• Tilapia grows well in most production systems.

– Polyculture with shrimp, catfish, and carp– Could be herbivorous and/or omnivorous– Good growth in fertilized ponds– Many by products can be used in prepared feeds– Simple hatchery technology– Disease resistant– Grow well at high densities

• There is an established and growing market demand for tilapia.

– Accepted in many national dishes– Popular in many forms (live, whole, fillets, fresh, frozen, smoked, surimi)

• Tilapia will surpass other cultured species in importance.

– Production constraints being reduced, and costs decreasing– Markets are still expanding– Market price is steady– Ecologically sustainable and environment friendly– Consumption not restricted by religious observances– Mild flavour preferred by many consumers– Carp: markets are limited– Salmonids and shrimps need high levels of fish meal, limited ingredients for diets– Most other species need higher water quality, competition for sites

Soaring Tilapia Market In the U.S.• The U.S. market is estimated to import approx.

180,000 tonnes of tilapia in 2006, compared to only 40,000 tonnes in 2000.

• Since 2001, tilapia consumption has doubled in the U.S. The species is now number 6 among the top ten seafood consumed by U.S. consumers.

• The EU market is still limited, but imports are expected to increase, especially in the light of limited wild whitefish supplies to the market.

• Production of tilapia worldwide is likely to expand robustly in coming years, as a result of strong investment in this sector.

Strong Growth in the Chinese Tilapia Industry

• China continues to be the world’s main producer of tilapia. Total production in 2006 is expected to reach 1.07 million tonnes, representing a 10% growth from 2005.

• The value of tilapia production in China is thus exceeding $2,000 million.

• More than 80% of the tilapia is consumed in the country. Main market for Chinese tilapia is the U.S., which takes over 70% of the exports.

• The impressive increase in tilapia is caused by farmers switching from carp and shrimp to tilapia production. Some 120 plants are processing, of which 30 are specialised in this fish alone. The average retail price of tilapia in China is $1.60/kg, while the unit value of the exported fish is around $2.16/kg.

Tilapia Farming is Mainly Concentrated in Guangdong

• Tilapia is farmed primarily in China’s warm southern provinces. In 2005 close to 50% of the total production is concentrated in Guangdong Province.

• Other major provinces include Hainan, Guangxi and Fujian. There is also scattered production in other provinces.

• Production growth is driven by strong domestic demand as well. In China – particularly the southern coastal provinces – tilapia is popular because its superior taste and quality compared to other cultured fish such as carp. Tilapia is also more affordable, compared with other high-valued, cultured species. An industry survey showed that 93.1% of consumers favour tilapia in Guangdong, 76.3% in Zhejiang and 65.2% in Shandong. Tilapia is also increasingly popular in large cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.

The U.S. Remains Chinese Tilapia’s Largest Customer

• Tilapia fillet and frozen whole are the major products, accounting for almost 100% of total exported volume.

• Increasing tilapia exports from China bring more opportunities for the tilapia processing industry, as nearly all exported tilapia products are processed.

• This is mainly because of China’s relatively low cost of labour and the industry’s effort to deepen processing to add value to exported products.

• Fillet exports are likely to increase further while the portion of frozen whole fish is expected to continue to diminish.

• United States remains the largest export destination for China, which on average absorbs 77% of tilapia fillet and 73% of frozen whole fish.

• Industry insiders believe that more attention will be paid to diversifying its export market, in particular in Europe and Middle East.

Opportunities in Tilapia Culture & Processing

• Tilapia is well suited for large-scale and poly-culture farming. The unit cost of production is expected to decrease further as a result of ongoing consolidation among Chinese tilapia producers. This presents international seafood companies with the opportunity for vertical integration, in order to ensure steady supply and constant quality.

• Increasing demand for tilapia, especially tilapia fillet, in the world market encourages further growth of tilapia exports from China. This gives rise to opportunities in the tilapia processing sector. In addition, the relatively low cost of labour in China constitutes a major advantages in the labour intensive processing business.
