#23638Komisch, dass du immer einen Teil vom Outlook überliest! Denn folgendes steht dort ebenfalls..!
"Meanwhile, we are also facing challenges in competitive pricing and raw materials for fiscal 2014 and 2015. During fiscal 2014, the market prices of stevioside products were impacted
by strong price competition among Chinese manufacturers. We expect the pressure from
pricing competition to continue in fiscal 2016. We anticipate the price of stevia leaves, the raw material used to produce our stevioside series products, to increase in fiscal 2016."

"... Our Outlook
We believe that there are significant opportunities for worldwide growth in our Stevioside segment, primarily in the U.S. and EU. For the rest of fiscal 2012 and beyond, we will continue to focus on our core business of producing and selling stevioside series products.
Some of the recent favorable trends in the stevia segment include:
?Chinese domestic food and beverages, particularly herbal tea manufacturers and the pharmaceutical industry, have increased the use of steviosides;
?In November 2011, the European Union authorized the use of steviol glucoside derived from the stevia plant for EU-wide use in certain foodstuffs;
?Southeast and South Asia have renewed and increased their interest in stevia, particularly high grade stevia.
?Sunwin was notified in November of 2011 that its stevia extracts production process has been certified organic under standards established by the USDA National Organic Program and European Commission (EC) 834/2007 and EC 889/2008 which will further expand the use of our organic stevia products in the food and beverage industry market in the US and Europe;
?We expect that the supply agreement we signed with Domino Sugar in December 2011 for the sale of our stevia products will further develop our market share and increase sales volumes in the stevia segment over the next year. This agreement will provide us with the opportunity to expand our sales in the U.S. consumer products market with new products that incorporate our high grade stevia extracts;
?The marketing strategy to differentiate ourselves as a producer of higher quality stevia grades and product formulations through these collaboration efforts will lead to sustainable growth in stevia sales volume in the future
Meanwhile, we are also facing challenges in competitive pricing and raw materials for the rest of fiscal 2012 and into the next fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, the market prices of stevioside series were impacted by fierce price competition among Chinese manufacturers. We expect the price pressure to continue for the rest of fiscal 2012 and into fiscal 2013. In addition, we anticipate the price of stevia leaves, the raw material used to produce our stevioside series products, to continue to increase in the coming harvest fall season for 2012. The expected raw materials price increase would be due to anticipated supply shortage of plants as a result of unusual dry weather during late 2011 and early 2012, which we experienced in some major stevia plantation areas including the northeastern and eastern parts of China.
