Comments: the company’s sales volume increased year-on-year. The inventory decreased by 30.3% compared with the beginning of the period, mainly due to the increase of sales volume and the improvement of corn planting prosperity. In 2021, the annual corn planting area was 43.32 million hectares, with a year-on-year increase of 5%, the annual corn output was 270 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 4.5%, and the imported corn was 28.35 million tons, with a year-on-year increase of 152.2%.

The grain prices are at a high level, and the planting prosperity is high.

There is still a gap between supply and demand of corn, and the conflict between climate and geography makes the food price high. The planting enthusiasm is expected to remain high in the future, and the company’s planting business is developing steadily. The cancellation of the temporary storage policy in 2016 and the subsequent policies related to the reduction of corn planting area have successfully promoted the de stocking of corn. As of 2020, the corn planting area was 41.26 million hectares, a decrease of 3.71 million hectares compared with the peak in 2015, a decrease of 8.3%, which is now gradually restored. From the demand side, the demand for corn as feed raw material will increase with the downstream aquaculture. Moreover, due to the geographical conflict between Russia and Ukraine, climate impact and other factors, global food prices may remain high. As a leading seed production enterprise, the company is expected to give full play to its own advantages and improve its market share.

Since Denghai 605 and Denghai 618 were approved to enter the market, they have performed well in disease resistance, high yield, lodging resistance, early maturity and other characteristics, and have been welcomed by the broad masses of farmers, Annual sales are growing. In the fierce competition with a large number of approved varieties of corn seeds, the company seized the opportunity of the recovery of commodity corn price and corn seed demand to increase sales. In 2021, the revenue of corn seeds was 980 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 24.7%, accounting for 88.9%, the gross profit margin was 38.2%, with a year-on-year increase of 8.6 percentage points, and the revenue of wheat seeds was 60 million yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 4.4%, accounting for 5.5%. In addition, the profitability of subsidiaries has been greatly improved. The net profit of Denghai pioneer is 16.654 million, that of Denghai Wuyue is 3.56 million, and that of Denghai Daoji is 5.957 million.
