ANNUAL REPORTS DEBUT ON BOAO FORUM FOR ENTREPRENEURS TO HELP HAINAN BUILD INT'L TROPICAL FARM PRODUCE INDICES PUBLISHING CENTER

^{The scene for releasing achievements on construction of international tropical farm produce indices publishing center in Hainan.}


BEIJING, Dec. 28, 2021 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/-- 

Three annual reports on natural rubber price indices, banana industry development and agarwood industry climate index were released on the 2021 Boao Forum for Entrepreneurs held in Hainan, a coastal island province in South China recently. 

The three reports, namely Xinhua-Hainan State Farms (HSF) China natural rubber series price index report (2020-2021), China banana industry development report (2020-2021) and China agarwood industry climate index report (2021), are typical achievements of the province in crafting itself into an international tropical farm produce indices publishing center. 

Since 2018, the province has been required to construct an international transaction, pricing and price indices releasing center for tropical farm produces including mainly the natural rubber.

From then, Xinhua-run China Economic Information Service, the People's Government of Chengmai County in Hainan Province and Hainan State Farms Investment Holdings Group Co., Ltd. have jointly incubated a series of price indices for a dozen of tropical farm products such as natural rubber, banana, pepper, and agarwood. 

With the indices family, tropical farm produce digitalization and brand construction forged ahead in Hainan and helped the province build its influences and advantages in international tropical agriculture and fostered high-quality development of the Hainan Free Trade Port.

As the Xinhua-Hainan State Farms (HSF) China natural rubber series price index report (2020-2021) tells, natural rubber prices generally fluctuated at high levels during 2020 and 2021 due to the climbing shipping costs and operation conditions of downstream factories amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, production area climate change and bulk commodity market volatility. In the coming production season in 2022, industry players shall pay extra attention to the influences of La Nina phenomenon on progresses of cutting in natural rubber production areas to judge the price trends. 

According to the China banana industry development report (2020-2021), China's banana imports underwent structural changes, with imports in border areas of the country down 28.2 percent year on year, sales recovery of bananas in northern Myanmar unblocked and imports of bananas from Cambodia up notably. Under such circumstances, the report suggests that banana industry in Chinese provinces, in particular Hainan to actively seize opportunities to beat drum for homegrown bananas by enhancing industry chain standards construction and quality control.

The China agarwood industry climate index report (2021) showed that consecutive breakthroughs in plantation and producing techniques have shorten the cycle of agarwood production in recent years. When the agarwood industry size keeps expanding, the industry needs integrated development and establishment of product supply chain tracing system to promote products standardization and boost brand effects.

AM Best comments on Consumer Insurance Services Limited Credit Ratings

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 -- AM Best comments the Financial Strength Rating of B+ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of ‘bbb-’ (Good) of Consumer Insurance Services Limited (CISL) (New Zealand) remain unchanged following the company’s decision to cancel all existing insurance policies.

CISL communicated to its insurance policyholders in recent weeks, informing them of the company’s decision to cancel all remaining card repayment insurance policies, beginning July 1, 2022.

In 2019, the company made the decision to cease issuing new insurance policies or renewing insurance policies once they expired.

According to a statement, since then, the number of active policies has significantly reduced and the ultimate parent, humm group limited, has determined that providing insurance is no longer part of its core business.

CISL is expected to collect its last premium payments from policyholders in May 2022. However, to support policyholders, it will continue to pay eligible claims that occur up to and including Dec 31, 2022. CISL’s insurance licence is expected to be cancelled in early 2023.

CISL’s rating fundamentals are currently not expected to be impacted by the aforementioned policy cancellations and the resulting accelerated run-off of its insurance operations.

AM Best will continue to monitor the execution of the company’s run-off and consider any impact on the rating fundamentals going forward.

The global credit rating agency, headquartered in the United States, has regional offices in London, Amsterdam, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mexico City.

Since that time, the project site has been off-limits to the public land.

In 2016, Metro Star Investment Joint Stock Company was transferred the project from Transportation and Public Works Joint Stock Company, which became a private company under the State’s equitization process. According to Decision No.5268/QĐ-UBND dated October 7, 2016 of the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City: a construction permit and approval and completion of the foundation. The Project’s transfer must be announced on the mass media, specifically in three consecutive newspaper editions 15 days before to the transfer, and without any complaints.

The Metro Star project has also fulfilled its financial obligations for the entire land area, and was re-issued the long-term residential land use right certificate No. CT80499 on June 15, 2020; has also been approved in the housing development plan in Document No. 1757/QĐ-UBND dated May 8, 2019 by the People’s Committee of HCM City, with 1,468 apartments recorded in the Metro Star project.

Company will provide sneak peek of its chicken breast product next week

SINGAPORE, Dec 16 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Eat Just, Inc., a company that applies cutting-edge science and technology to create healthier, more sustainable foods, announced today that its GOOD Meat division has been granted regulatory approval to sell new types of its history-making cultivated chicken products in Singapore. The first glimpse of one of multiple new formats, a chicken breast, will occur at the JW Marriott Singapore South Beach next week when a group of young people from Camp Asia’s Super Chef Camp will sit down to a dinner of cultivated chicken.
 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20211215006131/en/

The latest approval by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) comes on the one-year anniversary of GOOD Meat’s first-in-the-world launch of real, high-quality meat created directly from animal cells and is a shining example of the country’s commitment to enterprising technological solutions that advance environmental stewardship. Supporting the fast-growing cultivated meat sector is part of Singapore’s bold “30 By 30” campaign to build up the island nation’s capability and capacity to produce 30 percent of its nutritional needs locally and sustainably by 2030.

GOOD Meat is continuing to invest in its future in Singapore as well. The design and manufacturing of vessels and systems that will enable significant increases in cultivated meat production capacity are underway now with the goal of having the equipment installed and operational in the next two years. The company will continue to hire engineers, scientists, manufacturing professionals and others locally to run the facility and drive the business.

“A lot has changed in our world over the last year, but one thing has stayed the same: Singapore continues to lead the global transformation to a smarter, more sustainable food system. We’re proud to celebrate our one-year-anniversary of the first-ever sale of cultivated meat with this important regulatory and product announcement that’s again taking place in Singapore,” said Josh Tetrick, co-founder and CEO of Eat Just.

APPLICATIONS OPEN IN AFRICA AND ASIA FOR ADAPTATION SME ACCELERATOR PROJECT (ASAP)

Village Capital and The Lightsmith Group will accelerate sixteen SMEs and startups that are scaling climate adaptation and resilience solutions in Africa and Asia.


WASHINGTON & NEW YORK, Dec 17 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Village Capital and The Lightsmith Group announced today that applications have opened in Africa and Asia for the Adaptation SME Accelerator Project (ASAP), a program for SMEs and startups that are scaling market-based solutions to critical climate adaptation and resilience challenges.

“Accelerating the growth of selected climate adaptation solutions companies in developing countries is the final step in the ASAP strategy,” said Jay Koh, MD, Lightsmith Group. “By connecting SMEs identified through the Adaptation Solutions Taxonomy to resources of a world-class accelerator, we can demonstrate how these companies can scale up their solutions to the growing impacts of climate change.”

“SMEs and startups provide the local, contextualised solutions for climate adaptation and resilience in developing countries but struggle to obtain finance,” said Adedana Ashebir, Regional Director, Africa and Middle East, Village Capital. “Through ASAP, companies at the intersection of impact, inclusion, and investability stand a chance to bring their ideas from vision to scale.”

ASAP is a grant-funded initiative led by The Lightsmith Group, supported by the Global Environment Facility’s Special Climate Change Fund, Conservation International, and the Inter-American Development Bank that seeks to build an ecosystem for small- to medium-sized companies in emerging markets that have technologies, products, and services capable of building resilience to the impacts of climate change.

“Developing countries’ climate adaptation needs are immense and diverse, and the private sector plays an important role in filling the gap. In Asia and Africa, one of the biggest barriers to investment in climate resilience is the lack of financing available for small and medium-sized enterprises,” said Carlos Manuel Rodriguez, CEO and Chairperson of the GEF.

Each of the sixteen companies will have the opportunity to work closely with industry experts, investors, and ecosystem partners to develop the networks they need to scale their impact.

All startups in the program will be invited to join Abaca, Village Capital’s global online platform that helps entrepreneurs analyse, prepare their businesses for investment and match them with the right investors and resources.

Applications close on January 31, 2022. For all details click here.
