The vitamin-producing giant Xinhecheng increased the market price of VA and VE, while Zhejiang Pharmaceuticals stopped its external quotation. According to the monitoring of the vitamin market by Boya and the Health and Wellness Network, yesterday morning, the latest offer of the new VA products was 140 yuan / kg, VE quoted at 120 yuan / kg.

Since mid-January, with the rapid increase in the prices of pork and chickens, the prosperity of the breeding industry has increased significantly, causing a surge in feed demand and driving the vitamin feed additive market to pick up in advance.

It is understood that since January, VA's transaction price is about 125 yuan, the current increase to 140 yuan; VE's average transaction price of 105 yuan / kg up and down, this time the unit price increased to 120 yuan, price increases are more than 10%.

Increases in oil prices, increased costs, and the advent of the feed industry season have prompted domestic companies to increase vitamin prices. According to Zhou Jian, the chief analyst of Health Materials API, the reporter said that the company's price increase is mainly caused by tight supply and other reasons. Due to the recent high international oil prices, domestic oil prices are also rising, resulting in increased production costs of vitamin companies.

According to a person familiar with the Zhejiang Pharmaceutical Xinchang Pharmaceutical Factory, from the previous situation, the general market demand picks up at least until the end of February and mid-March, and the market this year has been ahead of schedule.

According to industry observers, this time vitamin products have two different characteristics that have changed from the past. First of all, the previous price increase was first issued by foreign companies such as DSM, this time led by domestic companies. Second, this price increase has been brewing for a long time. Before and after the Spring Festival, all industries in Zhejiang have adopted measures to stop production insured.
