From 71.1% to 23 %, reflecting not only the domestic rare earth production industry chaos and disorder , it is rare rear chain lacking.

November 4 , Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining Co., Ltd. integrated rare earth mine ( a ) the project EIA report for the Ministry of Environmental Protection approved . This means discontinued two years Ganzhou Rare Earth Mining is expected to re- mined.

Ganzhou Rare Earth integration behind means that the state following the action before the special system , once again increased the remediation efforts for the rare earth industry .

China 's rare earth reserves have accounted for 71.1% of the world , but in 2012 the State Council Information Office published "China's rare earth conditions and policy," White Paper , China's rare earth reserves accounted for approximately 23% of the world's total reserves .

From 71.1% to 23 %, reflecting not only the domestic rare earth production industry chaos and disorder , also has a rare earth backend chain lacking. How to make rare earth separation and the healthy development of downstream industries , is still a thought-provoking questions .

Management control

In 1998, the Chinese government began to implement rare earth export quota license system, and the inclusion of rare earth materials processing trade ban catalog . In 2006, China implemented the total rare earth mining control and management . In 2008, the state promulgated the "National Mineral Resource Planning ", on the rare earth and other specified minerals of which protective mining implementation planning control to limit exploitation, strict access and utilization .

But a series of policies, still can not stop domestic rare earth production industry confusion. Data show that the annual export and smuggling of rare earth disguised about 20,000 ~ 30,000 tons . According to the Ministry of Industry and the relevant responsible person, foreign customs statistics, in 2011 the amount of rare earth imports from China over the Chinese customs statistics, exports up 1.2 times.

Baotou Rare Earth materials in a responsible person briefed reporters , a large number of undocumented , low-cost rare earth products flooding the market , disrupting normal trading order rare earth market , seriously affecting the survival of informal enterprises , even a threat to the safety of the rare earth industry .

Why is it so rare earth industry mess ? Chinese Rare Earth Industry Association, an unnamed expert to introduce the key lies in the lax management of rare earth mineral development , " for example, why the farmer can easily mined ? Why some officials are also involved in mining ? Ultimately , the relevant whether the law department management is the key producer of rare earth . "

China Rare Earth Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Chen Zhanheng stressed to reporters , the illegal exploitation of rare earth industry for many years , production, exports there has been a chain of black interests .

Overcapacity

Due to loss of control caused by rare earth industry overcapacity , has a profound impact on the downstream industry .

Chenzhan Heng said that the current separation of rare earth enterprises nationwide capacity up to 30 million tons, while the market demand is only 120,000 to 15 million tons , of which about 30,000 international market demand to 5 tons, the domestic market demand in the 70000 ~ 8 tons.

In addition, as a result of state regulation of rare earth prices, but also to its downstream industries has caused tremendous stress. In magnetic materials , for example, rare earth permanent magnet generator costs have risen sharply , making the sharp decline in the competitiveness of enterprises . " This has led manufacturers on the one hand to reduce the use of permanent , only to meet the minimum requirements for basic performance , on the other hand to reduce production , or even stop the production of permanent magnet motor to avoid losses . " Chinese Academy of Engineering PROCEEDINGS of the" China Science News " reporter said.

" permanent magnet wind turbine development gives us the following topics : Upstream and downstream users how to promote mutual development of new technologies and products ? Who coordination , how to upgrade the industrial structure ? " PROCEEDINGS that " For this situation , the relevant departments should accelerate the establishment of coordination mechanism of rare earth prices , upstream and downstream collaborative innovation , to ensure orderly development of the industry , so that appropriate tone positive benefit of the public at home . "

The lack of high-end industrial chain

In a number of experts, to solve the problem of excess production capacity of rare earth , rare earth key is to accelerate the upgrading of downstream processing industries through technology research and development, build high- value-added chain backend .

Chen Zhanheng introduced in the field of rare earth new materials , domestic technology is not worse than abroad . Production of new materials , in addition to the catalytic material production accounts for only 20% to 30% outside the country of permanent magnetic , luminescent materials , hydrogen storage materials, polishing materials are the first production , "The current production of rare earth consumption accounts for 70 percent . "

"But where do we poor ? addition to the many technical subject to foreign intellectual property rights , we are good or rare earth functional materials production , which is the primary product, but these materials are ultimately made ​​products, parts , reprocessing technology urgent need to strengthen policy guidance . " Chen Zhanheng said.

Institute of the Ministry of industrial raw materials CCID Institute Yuan Kaihong also told reporters that at present China's rare earth industry, lack of high-end technology and equipment research and development should be focused on the next step in the development of solutions .

Chen Zhanheng that from resource development , mining, mineral processing , separation and production of new materials, production parts , and ultimately the formation of terminal products for civilian or industrial equipment industry chain is concerned, the domestic value-added in the rear with high chain link is very lacking. " Not just a technical problem , but also some fine processing equipment , product design , process control of the gap, we are from a real high-end manufacturing is still far away , these need to be resolved . "

"Only high-end industrial chain development up , China's rare earth industry will get better development, valuable rare earth resources in order to realize its value. " Chen Zhanheng finally said .

Recently, there is news that China is brewing including crackdown private mine , the introduction of "Rare Management Regulations", differentiated management of different rare species including a number of New Deal in response to export -changing. However, insiders pointed out that this combination of punches in order to look good , the government needs to do more to "warm up ."

Recently, Japanese media said the World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism to complete panel ruled that the interim report , supports the United States , Japan and the EU against Chinese rare earth export restrictions policy violations aspirations. China will be forced to the existing policy of rare earth export quota of rare earth export tariffs to be adjusted.

Soon the news , while media reports, China is brewing a number of New Deal response to industry change in the situation , including the crackdown private mine , the introduction of "Rare Management Regulations" , the different varieties of rare earth differentiated management.

However, insiders pointed out that this combination of punches in order to look good , governments need to do more to "warm up" , while the industry also need a rational view .

Pressure from the WTO litigation

For a long time , disorderly exploitation , destruction of the ecological , low-cost exports is China 's rare earth industry ills . But the United States, Europe, Japan and other economies do not care environment , many times to launch an attack .

Since 2009 the EU requested the lifting of the rare Chinese export quota system products , countries began to fight for China's rare earth exports for various actions , intended to get cheap rare earths.

Investment Advisor in the metallurgical industry researcher Weiqi Ning believes that the future of China 's rare earth industry will show a " wolf inside and outside tiger " situation. He said: "The system of forced adjustment pressures rare earth export quota system , the export tariff will be open . This may not only lead to rectify the problem is being revived , smuggling trafficking phenomenon also on the rise, but will aggravate plight of the industry was forced open . "

China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association vice president, China Rare Earth Industry Association vice president Wang Qin had said in public : "WTO litigation involving nearing the end of rare earth , rare earth export quota management will be canceled in case after the end of the agenda , recommend that you first began to consider a lighter rare earths . " lighter rare earth exports gradually opening up , or to inhibit outflow of dangerous heavy rare earth .

In addition to China , light rare in the United States , Russia, Australia, India, South Africa and other countries also have distribution and reserves greater. But more than 70% of global heavy rare earth are concentrated in southern China , and in the high-tech field , heavy rare earth with light, enhancing the effect of electronic product quality , the role is irreplaceable. Of heavy rare earths are many rare and unique minerals, including heavy rare earth elements such as terbium and dysprosium can only be mined for 30 years.

Industry consolidation paid off

WTO ruling will make 2014 the news of rare earth export environment changed dramatically. Response time left to the Chinese government did not so long expected by the market , which also deepen governance policies Forced rare earth industry accelerated introduction . Brewing industry consolidation as well as a number of legendary New Deal are rare cases does the WTO "warm up" to prepare .

In an interview with analyst Zhang babe International Business Daily reporter interview that through consolidation , illegal production of illicit export of rare earth have converged , irregular transactions to reduce rare earth , some companies began to sell only with votes of rare earths. Rare orders also increased in July and August .

Baotou Steel Rare Earth recently released listing price and the purchasing and storage media, preaching the message , triggering market participants to better expectations. Zhang babe believes that the current part of the business has different magnitudes raised some prices oxides , such as neodymium oxide, praseodymium , neodymium , praseodymium , dysprosium oxide , etc. As expected for the better, rare earth prices likely to rise in November , but the rate of increase and the duration depends on the state purchasing and storage policy implementation and execution of real intensity , and whether there are other favorable policies .

Zhang Babe said : "The state macro-control through the exploitation of resources , production, management is more focused and effective . In any case change , the export prices are the bottom line. "

Chinese Society of Rare Earths authorities told International Business Daily reporter interview that the countries are not introduced special policies for large state-owned enterprises . " a number of policies to improve the access threshold for rare earth enterprises , but in reality to hitting , optimizing industrial structure, develop high-tech . "

Need a rational view

For the price rise, the authorities believe that the price rise is short-term phenomenon , affecting the price of rare earth by many factors, including supply and demand , domestic and international mining , etc. , need a rational view .

Zhang babe also believes that only by the demand for support and promotion of market prices is really good . "Over the last two years, the overall price of rare earth all the way down , in addition to previously high prices , down a large space , the most important reason is the demand is small. "

" part of the rare earth enterprises reflects the current rare few orders and lower profits . Rare upstream and downstream enterprises generally face how to price and enterprises in the production cost and risk management issues . "Zhang Babe pointed out that " the most important question is weak end consumer , which in turn is closely linked with the economic environment . "

The authorities said that since 2011 rare earth prices rose, many downstream firms collapse. Overall global demand is currently weak . Rectifying although some effect, but the black industry chain still exists. "The key is to protect the rare earth industry, upstream and downstream common development of enterprises , the state should be targeted to encourage the development of high-tech enterprises . Which in turn is a long-term process . "

Recently, the market of rare earth oxides offer a slight increase , but the price is still low , and the volume is still deserted. Recently, purchasing and storage is expected to further strengthen the earth , following the release of its official website Baotou Steel Rare earth oxide listing price after the Rising colored , aluminum rare earth have been published on its official website the listing price . However, the market still no Shouchu the exact message .

According quote form, listing the inclusion of rare earth oxides , including oxide, praseodymium oxide , neodymium oxide, dysprosium and other nine species, the number of varieties released more than Baotou rare earth, rare earth aluminum . November 1 , the aluminum rare earth oxide released a total of seven kinds of varieties ; Baotou Steel Rare Earth on October 31 released only four kinds of rare earth oxides .

However, in the rare earth oxides listed price for the company's price rather than the purchase price, purchasing and storage of relevant staff regarding secrecy ; Rising colored bulletin is issued to clarify the relevant purchasing and storage reports . One time purchasing and storage of rare earth market news lumpy .

Some analysts said that the recent stock market is chaotic earth , manufacturers, traders offer is not active , and some even offer stop turnover deserted. The analyst further said that every juncture purchasing and storage markets are very confusing , as the authorities of the State Reserve Bureau should have a say on the market , several phone calls to the State Reserve Bureau failed.

Some industry experts have said that the national reserve is supposed to be state secrets , the market should not be excessive speculation .
