Herbridge,17 March 2010-At the end of the first quarter,what is the dynamics of China Stevia supply and market?We will offer brief analysis of the market when stevia conferences were or will be held in the World.

    Stevia suppliers in China increase rationally.There are some herbal extract manufacturers involved in the stevia industry.While the domestic market shows no excess supply,it is important to note that ,most manufacturers haven't made the best use of the designed productive capacity.The market for stevia and RA products is relatively stable.Major stevia suppliers are located in Shandong,Jiangsu,Guangxi,Shaanxi province.

    90% stevia price varies between 180RMB/kg and 220RMB/kg.Yet RA97 price can vary about 500 yuan per kilogram on the small orders.In general,the price is around 1000RMB/kg at the ton level.However,the price for RA of PureCircle is over twice as much as that of domestic suppliers because the products are in Malaysia largely.

    China stevia suppliers haven't established their international image.the stevia industry is basically dominated by PureCircle and GLG,especially GLG skilled in worldwide operations.In China,only Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp is taking actions to promote stevia products towards international markets. Other suppliers are still marketing traditionally.
