Man Shing Agricultural Holdings Reports Strong Quarterly Results

2009-11-13 12:43

HONG KONG, Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Man Shing Agricultural Holdings Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MSAH), a leading ginger producer in China, has reported strong quarterly results in their 10-Q filing on Tuesday. The company, with operations based in Shandong province, exports high-quality ginger to high-margin markets in Europe, Japan and North America.

"We are very pleased with our financial performance this quarter," commented Eddie Cheung, CEO of Man Shing. "Our positioning for the upswing in ginger prices is excellent, producing a very positive impact on the bottom line and strong advancement of our larger strategy to win domestic and international market share."

Man Shing expects to sustain gross profit margins of over 25% and net profit margins of around 20% on low production costs, efficient land management and a high-quality, high-margin strategy. Man Shing is well on track to achieve the targeted 50% year on year net profit growth projected for the next 3 years.

Limited Supply

Global supplies for ginger are limited this year due to reduced planting and low yields in main production regions outside of Shandong. Man Shing, the largest leaseholder of ginger production land in Shandong, is well-positioned for significant market share and margin gains in this period of historically low supplies and rising ginger prices.

From 1997 to early 2009, the price of ginger dropped 80%, prompting many farmers to switch to more profitable crops. On significantly reduced supplies, the price of ginger is expected to climb to between 6 Rmb and 8 Rmb per kg (0.87 - 1.17 USD). With stable production costs of around 1.6 Rmb (0.23 USD) per kg, well-supplied ginger producers stand to profit considerably over the next 18-24 months.
