Trading Update re Forsythia
Taihua, the China-based pharmaceutical company specialising in
the cultivation of Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM") raw
materials, manufacture of TCM and certain Active Pharmaceutical
Ingredients, would like to update its shareholders on the harvest
and sale of Forsythia in 2016.
The combined harvest of the two plantations was 524.7 tonnes
(2015: 704 tonnes). The reduction was primarily due to adverse
weather conditions during the growing season in 2016.
In 2016, the average selling price was RMB30.97/kg (2015:
RMB38.93/kg) excluding sales tax. Due to the decrease of demand
from finished drug producers as well as the fact that there were
still large amount of stocks left for Forsythia harvested in 2015,
the supply of Forsythia was more than the demand from the end
users. As a result, the selling price of Forsythia decreased. In
addition, the Company experienced continuous rain in the harvest
season and the quality of its Forsythia has been adversely
affected, which in turn has further reduced the Company's selling
price for this product.
As a result the overall revenue derived from Forsythia in 2016
was RMB16.25m (2015: RMB 27.41m). The entire harvest has been
sold.
Nick Lyth, Chairman of Taihua said "We are disappointed with the
result of the 2016 harvest and the weather conditions that have had
a negative impact on both the amount and quality of our product. We
continue to work with local universities to try to establish a
solution to enhance the hardiness of our Forsythia and continue to
explore other markets for our Traditional Chinese Medicines"
