This is mainly due to the increase in the production and sales of valine and alanine products of the company. The fund-raising project Bayannur alternating production of alanine, valine project and Qinhuangdao fermentation alanine technical transformation and expansion project were partially put into operation as planned, and the capacity utilization rate was released and improved in an orderly manner.
In 2021, the company's comprehensive gross profit margin was 32.3%, down 11.2pcts year-on-year. In the cost composition of the company's amino acid products, the cost of direct materials increased by about 153.8% year-on-year. Combined with the calculation of the company's sales volume, the cost of direct raw materials per ton increased by about 42% year-on-year, while the direct labor cost and manufacturing cost per ton decreased year-on-year. Therefore, we speculate that it is mainly due to the higher price of raw material glucose.
