In 2012, several policies regarding feed industry were published in China, which shall have profound influence on China feed industry. Standards for feed and feed additive manufacturers are set higher, medium-small scale enterprises that can’t qualify would have to shut down, while the large scale ones will celebrate their amazing development opportunities.

    With reference to market, large scale feed enterprises went on steadily in 2012 as usual. The prices of feed ingredients such as soybean meal, corn, fishmeal, etc. increased greatly in 2012 compared with 2011, while boom index of breeding industry went through continuous decline. Taking the year of 2012 as a whole, hog breeding profit was at low level, broiler breeding industry hardly saw any profit or even experienced deficit, layer breeding industry’s scale shrunk due to production capacity surplus. All of the above limited the end consumption ability of feed products compared with 2011. For medium-small scale manufacturers, both governmental policy and market condition made it harder for them to survive, while the large scale manufacturers strengthened their competitiveness and risk resistance capability by advantages in formulation technology, industry chain, management, capital and raw material purchase, etc. Gap between medium-small scale manufacturers and large scale manufacturers was widened.

    Development of large scale feed manufacturers will still be quite promising and prosperous in 2013, the industry integration will continue. In “Review and Outlook on China Feed Market 2012/2013” compiled by BOABC, not only the market status quo of major feed raw materials & feed additives and imp & exp is analyzed deeply in details, but also the segment markets of hog feed, poultry feed, aquatic feed and ruminant feed as well as the top enterprises of each segment market are paid special attention, meanwhile prediction of feed industry’s development trend in 2013 in China will be discussed.
