Released the first list of Rare earth NdFeB magnets qualified companies will be reduced next year export quota of rare earth

Department of Foreign Trade has announced the export of rare earth in 2012 and pending business of qualified enterprises, export quota of rare earth market adjustment caused a continuous concern.

Export quotas for the number of problems, the Ministry of Commerce International Trade and Economic Cooperation Research Institute of China Ministry of Foreign Trade and Jinbo Song, deputy director of the China Securities, told reporters that in 2012 the total export quota of rare earth may be reduced, but the rate will not be too much.

Monitoring will continue overweight

Jinbo Song said, by the world economic downturn and the export quota of rare earth in 2011 did not run out the impact of the export quota of rare earth in 2012 is expected to do the right amount of reduction. But to the healthy development of rare earth industry, but also take into account the market price stability, regulatory pressure can only step by step increased.

Department of Commerce is currently export of rare earth in 2012 published the list of qualified companies has shown a clear trend of exports to tighten, only the first 11 qualified companies, Baogang Group, Baotou Steel Rare Earth, Baotou rare earth polishing powder Tianjiao Kiyomi Co., Ltd., Baotou Rare Earth Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. Sino-American, Inner Mongolia Rare Earth Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. and made four companies have failed to enter the first list of qualified companies. In 2011, Baotou Steel Rare Earth Group has access to general trade export quotas, and 3220 tons 2695 tons.

In 2011, the Ministry of Commerce approved a total of 31 companies to the general trade export quota of rare earth year 3.0184 million tons, but only the first three quarters of 2011 exports of 12,000 tons of rare earth (including the metals and oxides), representing a decrease of 65%, industry expect the annual export quota of 10,000 tons is expected to rest.

Jinbo Song said the earth as a "strategic resource", the system should be further established comprehensive management system program. Meanwhile, the introduction of foreign high-end domestic rare earth materials processing.

In fact, due to tightening of the export of rare earth industry, foreign investment is growing. 12, an alliance of Belgium Rhodia China Aluminum Corporation of China's rare earth companies, in relation to development of rare earth materials and advanced manufacturing applications to cooperate.

Price is expected to stabilize

Into December, the price is not rare since the end of the downward decline since the third quarter, the business community data, as 16, the Baotou Rare Earth Neodymium oxide prices about 80 yuan / ton, colored Rising price of 79 yuan / tonnes. January to June, the market price of neodymium oxide was from 23 yuan / ton rose to 150 yuan / ton.

According to reports, since the third quarter, praseodymium neodymium rare-earth prices declined the most, lanthanum oxide and lanthanum metal prices were relatively stable, a slight decrease of rare earth cerium system, continued weak demand for phosphors. With the world economic downturn and weak international demand, stop the separation of rare earth industry and protect the price to become a common phenomenon, was pushed to 50 yuan / ton export quota of rare earth prices at the same time rapidly to zero. As at present, Rare-Earth's isolated enterprise has not fully realize the resumption of production.

Securities, non-ferrous metals industry analyst Ye Xin of the China Securities, told reporters that rare-earth prices that inhibition of downstream demand, particularly in the low-end consumer to be reduced. But in the long run, the rigidity of rare earth demand in many areas and emerging needs will continue to grow. New industries and the rise of high-tech industry from internal to expand the demand for rare earths. In addition, some areas of rare earth supply, environmental protection, smuggling and other issues have not been completely resolved, the government is expected to level the stringent specifications of the rare earth industry will continue. Medium and long term rare earth prices will stabilize and is expected to pick up.

To promote industrial restructuring and upgrading of rare earth

With the rapid economic growth, the rare earth industry is facing growing demand and limited resources, scarcity will be more striking. Effective solution to the outstanding contradictions, Ganzhou Rare Earth Industry to promote the accelerated transformation and upgrading, to achieve sustainable development, we must do the following two aspects.

Actively seek policy support, helping the government build a development platform. First of all, to promote the country's rare earth industry, tax reform, tax collection and management of rare earth standards. Promote the conservation of the charges on the implementation of "tax reform", the existing fees and charges in accordance with a dozen mineral resource protection and environmental protection in both directions, respectively, resource tax and environmental taxes included; through the central and provincial fiscal transfers payment, on the rare earth resources in the mining process in the county to pay the cost of resources and environmental costs and make the appropriate compensation; active use of tax incentives to encourage and support the development of rare earth industry. Second, the implementation of personnel training project, to build product development and information sharing platform. Funded by corporate and government-funded combination, relying on universities, research institutes and other educational resources to carry out professional training for the rare earth industry of industrial technology transfer of qualified personnel; development of rare earth spot trading market, creating the first home of rare earth products electronic trading platform, providing spot trading, financial agent, logistics, e-commerce services, and comprehensive publishing market analysis, supply and demand analysis, price trends, logistics and import and export information. Again, for fiscal policy and financial support. Actively seek the provincial government to combat the illegal exploitation of special rectification activities, support the elimination of backward production capacity of rare earth separation and other special funds to support technological innovation, interest-free funds for the provincial government to speed up the construction of rare earth industrial park; positive declaration of state of rare earth new materials industry, new-type industrialization demonstration base for the State in the industrial layout, industrial upgrading, technological innovation, funding arrangements, the focus of support.

Improve the development and application capabilities to build the South leading rare earth companies. Actively promote the rare earth industry consolidation and reorganization, the formation of large enterprise-oriented industrial structure, accelerate the promotion of rare earth industrial transformation and upgrading of the most effective way. Ganzhou should use their own resources, and actively introduce strategic investors with core technologies in support of rare earth mining companies through acquisition, merger, reorganization, listing big and strong efforts to create a set of mining, smelting, processing, application, trade, scientific research in one of the leading enterprises in the south of rare earth. First, a sound system of resource exploration, promoting the integration of rare earth resources. Vigorously seek and take advantage of state funding for land resources survey, the central and provincial mineral resources, central government subsidies and government investigation of rare earth resources survey of special funds, and by controlling the total production of rare earth products flow, speed up the chain extension and other rare earth promote the integration of rare earth resources, efforts to Ganzhou into the country and the world's rare earth mining, development, processing and trade center. Second, to promote corporate restructuring of rare earth, rare earth to build large-scale enterprises. Industry concentration, the higher the price, the stronger bargaining. Ganzhou Rare Earth Industry should further increase the integration of efforts, and ultimately by the local key enterprises in control of rare earth resources; through the development of industry policy, such as improve industry access threshold, the small-scale, high energy consumption, pollution, low levels of rare earth technology enterprises closed down or integrated into the enterprise to meet the requirements; through the introduction of strategic investors, led the reorganization of rare earth enterprise restructuring, and finally embarked on the road group. Third, to encourage innovation, improve product value. International pricing in order to master the earth, only a large number of mineral resources is not enough, more importantly, has a rare earth core technology patent, application market and product standards. Local party committees and governments should actively guide, promote the introduction of rare earth industry, technological innovation incentives, such as the introduction of rare earth deep-processing of raw materials supply business application preferences, etc.; as soon as possible to formulate a unified policy of the rare earth industrial investment, especially to support the rare-earth magnetic materials and permanent magnet motor industry, light industry, and new light-emitting materials, rare earth ceramic industry, development of special policies; set up a special fund of rare earth industry, research and development platform for rare earth and rare earth products, purchasing and storage, technology research and development.
