Indirect big news at NTRZ
NTRZ is adding three new posts as "Food Ingredient Sales Managers". These posts will report to the VP of sales. These are new jobs and CEO Short must be expecting a need for these and soon. NTRZ just got out of BK and were hamstrung by that. No new accounts want to open new accounts with a source that is in trouble. This might not be an immediate sales increase, like tomorrow, but great for a long term holder of NTRZ like me.

My point is that meat RiBran can be huge, but gluten free might be huge as well. If stage 2 is used for ingredients, stage 2 is higher priced, thus more profit, hopefully.

Enter specualtion--It is gone because the product we have seen, Biflexin, will replace it soon. They don't want to make a bunch of the old and still have a lot left when the new one is ready.
More specualtion---Will this be part of a nutra/pharma deal with Bright? I hope so. And maybe the other two products on my link below will be part of the deal as well?

Investment from US declines 28%
Is this a red flag showing the party is over?
BEIJING - US investment in China dropped sharply by 28 percent, while foreign direct investment (FDI) maintained double-digit growth from January to April, the Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday.
Economists said they believed the US investment decline is temporary, and the Chinese economy, over the long term, will provide US companies with increased investment opportunities.
US investment from January to April decreased to $1.03 billion and the number of US firms setting up in China also fell by 3.85 percent to 475.
In contrast, European Union investment rose by 23.42 percent to $2.64 billion. Investment from the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, South Korea and Singapore, registered growth of 31.23 percent to $32.88 billion.
The ministry said that FDI for April rose by 15.21 percent, from a year earlier, to $8.46 billion, the fourth month that FDI witnessed double-digit growth this year.
"US investment could drop further over the short-term," Song Hong, head of the Department of International Trade at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said.
Song attributed this to a decline in US manufacturing, a key component of US investment, following the global financial crisis. He also said that with the recovery in the US economy, businesses that had invested in China were returning to the US market.
But others cited rising labor costs as a reason.
"We cannot ignore the fact that investment into China from developed nations, including the US, is slowing thanks to China's rising labor costs," said Zhang Yansheng, director of the Institute for International Economic Research under the National Development and Reform Commission.
US investment in China in 2010 grew by 13.31 percent year-on-year, compared to 31 percent for its total overseas investment, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
Yuan Gangming, a researcher at the Center for China in the World Economy at Tsinghua University, said "the US is much too reliant on China" for investment to drop over the long term.
But US investors "probably have complaints, such as barriers", he said.
In a survey of its member companies released last month the US Chamber of Commerce in China cited "bureaucracy, lack of management, ambiguous laws and infringement of intellectual property rights" as major challenges facing US firms here.
But the survey also pointed out that 80 percent of the companies recorded profits in 2010 and many have expansion plans.

Food for thought about maybe a China deal
I am responding to a dude I think is the 16,000,000 share holder, calling himself holdingalotofshares.>>>>>>>>>
I like your thinking that Bright Foods or somebody wants to kick the Irgovel tires before a major deal is signed. It should be up and running in two months.
So, if I agree that a Bright licensing deal is better than sale to me, if a licensing deal is coming it must be financed because we own nothing there like we did with Irgovel. So, we need shares approved to increase to 500,000,000 at the shareholder meeting to back up convertiblele preferred deal to finance licensing.
But, now here is the kicker you left out. The reason we don't have a pharma/nutraceutical deal is because that will be with Bright foods. The nutraceuticals are a no brainer. Bright has retail operations all over China and ability to sell to other retail establishmentsents in China. Our rice based nutraceuticals will sell their faster than guns given away in a prison break(thanks kodiak for that one). And it fits even better because over a year ago Bright signed a JV with GNC for stores in China.
http://www.naturalproductsmarketplace.com/news/2010/02/gnc-partners-with-bright-food.aspx
So, to summarize my above thoughts, that have never worked out(Aghast) A SRB/RBO/pharma deal will be one deal. Just a possibility, don't bank on it. But if we are going to dream, let's dream big or go home>>>
Take a look at the Bright/GNC JV story again. The last sentence says, "GNC China will promote the “GNC” brands in China’s large to medium-sized cities and examine potential development opportunities in retailing, distribution and PRODUCTION when conditions permit."
Production? Maybe NTRZ products? hey hey hey, possibilities.
http://atom.smasher.org/streetparty/?l1=NutraCea&l2=Stock+Soars&l3=To+record+highs&l4=On+Bright+Foods+JV
RiBran meat filler is reported as being 1/2 the price of soy protein and 1/2 of the price, so a no brainer. And the SRB product used to be low grade animal feel. The soy protein isolate can still be used as himan food elsewhere. Win Win Win in that NTRZ wins, the meat companies win and us shareholders win. WIN WIN WIN

Nervously waiting answer to my request.
Re: World Grain focus on The Philippines
The following article really shows the need for NTRZ in the Philippines are having a rice crisis and import ALL their wheat. Garner just said the shipments of NTRZ products to The Philippines has just increased.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Philippines has a rapidly growing population and an expanding economy that’s making the switch from a largely rural economy to an industrial one. Even so, more than one-third of its workforce is still in agriculture and concerns over malnutrition remain. Dramatic weather events, including typhoons, floods and droughts have had a severe effect on food production in recent years.
According to the International Grains Council (IGC), total grains production, all of which is maize (corn), in the Philippines was 6.8 million tonnes for 2010, compared with 6.3 million in 2009. Total grain imports are put at 3.1 million tonnes, up from 3 million. Of that, 2.9 million were wheat.
The staple food in the Philippines is rice. The IGC puts its 2010 production at 10.7 million tonnes, up from 10.6 million in 2009. Rice imports for 2011 are forecast at 2.1 million tonnes, down from 2.5 million in 2010.
However, the National Food Authority has been reported as saying that it wants 2011 imports down under 1 million tonnes. According to the Business World website, the authorities have also decided to let the private sector bring in 65% of the volume.
NFA Administrator Angelito T. Banayo said that the reduction was because of record imports last year and the expectation of a good harvest. “The Department of Agriculture estimates a bumper crop this summer,” he said. The country is also a major coconut oil producer, producing, according to the USDA, around 1.6 million tonnes a year. According to the USDA attaché in Manila, higher grain consumption in 2010-11 is being driven by wheat demand, resulting from an improved supply.
“The Philippine Association of Flour Millers (PAFMIL) reportedly expects a 10% rise in this year’s flour output and, as a result, expects stable flour prices this year,” the attaché said in an annual report on the sector. “According to PAFMIL, however, prices may increase should there be an abrupt increase in petroleum prices, a drastic change in global weather conditions and/or if China’s demand for wheat imports increases.”
The government has moved to increase the availability of wheat. According to the IGC, the president announced on Jan. 13, 2011 that a duty of 3% previously applied to wheat imports would be suspended to cushion the impact of rising prices. Its removal would be effective for a period of six months.
In a separate report, the attaché said that corn production in 2010-11 had been adversely affected by typhoons as well as by an El Nino episode in the first half of calendar 2010. Demand for corn for feed is expected to remain weak during 2010-11.
“The domestic poultry industry is growing only in minimal terms, and the local hog industry (the dominant feed-consuming sector) continues to face disease-related problems,” it said. “The weather abnormalities have also likely constrained any substantial growth of both industries.”
U.S. exports of red and poultry meat to the Philippines have grown substantially, which means weak demand for feed, while local corn faces competition from imported feed wheat, which has displaced imports of corn.
RICE CRISIS
High rice prices are an important issue in the Philippines where, according to the attaché, about 80% of all families devote at least half their spending to food.
“Exacerbated by rising fuel prices, the ‘rice crisis’ forced the Philippine government to extend food subsidy to the poor,” the attaché said. “Subsidized rice had to be rationed and poor consumers had to line up for hours to gain access to it.”
“The Asian Development Bank (ADB) in May 2008 estimated that a 10 percent increase in the price of rice would force an additional 660,000 people in the Philippines into poverty, while a 10 percent increase in fuel prices would result in an additional 160,000 poor people,” the attaché said.
Record rice imports in the following year help reinforce stock levels.
“This helped cushion the impact of weather-related production problems during the period,” the attaché said. “Successive typhoons in late 2009 resulted in a major flood in Luzon Island, isolating several provinces from major urban centers. Approximately two million additional Filipinos joined the ranks of the poor as a result of the floods.”
The El Nino episode in early 2010 added to the problem by creating extreme dryness. “Both reduced rural incomes considerably,” the attaché said.
Rice consumption contracted and rice production suffered.
FLOUR MILLING
According to information supplied by Ricardo M. Pinca, the executive director of PAFMIL, flour milling in the Philippines started in the 17th century when Spanish missionaries introduced it for making Eucharistic wafers. The first flour milling company established in the Philippines was Republic Flour Mill (RFM), which was established in 1958.
There are, according to Pinca, 12 companies engaged in the manufacturing of wheat flour. Seven of them are members of PAFMIL. They are RFM Foods Corporation, Liberty Flour Mills, Wellington Flour Mills, Pilmico Foods Corp., General Milling Corp., Universal Robina Corp. and Philippine Flour Mills. There are also four companies in the Chamber of Philippine Flour Millers (CHAMFLOUR). They are San Miguel Mills, Phil. Foremost Milling Corp., Morning Star Milling Corp. and Delta Milling Corp.
In addition to those companies, the Monde Nissin Corporation produces flour for its own use in food products.
All of the wheat processed in the Philippines is imported, with the U.S., Canada and Australia being the biggest suppliers. PAFMIL puts the total processing capacity of the industry at 13,360 tonnes per day wheat equivalent, or 4.008 million tonnes annually, on the basis of a 300-day year. With annual wheat imports at around 2 million tonnes a year, the industry is running at 50% capacity.
Flour millers in the Philippines are supplying a largely small-scale processing industry.
“Most Philippine bakeries are small in scale and family owned, with only an estimated 20 percent having mechanized operations,” the attaché said. “The rest still use manual labor in mixing dough.” The millers are taking action to improve the industry’s efficiency. “The PAFMIL intends to pursue educational programs on the use of wheat flour it produces through targeting the country’s small bakeries,” the attaché said.
The Philippines also imports flour, with 150,000 tonnes predicted to enter the country in 2010-11, according to the IGC. Much of this flour comes from Turkey, and millers in the Philippines have complained that they have to compete against undervalued imports, a charge rejected by Turkish exporters. PAFMIL is reportedly planning to ask the government for a duty to protect the industry from these imports.
BIOFUELS
A law of 2007, the Biofuels Act, mandated a minimum 1% biodiesel blend into all diesel fuels within three months from the effectivity of the law, to increase to a 2% blend two years later. There was, according to the attaché, a smooth transition from the 1% to 2% blend in 2009.
“For the transport sector, diesel is the dominant fuel used, and compliance with the mandated biodiesel blend since 2007 has been relatively smooth using locally produced biodiesel,” the attaché said in a report on the sector. “Local feedstock supply (coconut methyl ester or CME) is sufficient for the adequate number of refineries/capacities. A higher mandated biodiesel blend in 2011 is possible, although the appropriate standards have yet to be established.”
Ethanol production has been insufficient to meet the government’s targets, because of a lack of investment, held back by price volatility. The government is stopping ethanol imports.
“As a result, the mandated ethanol blend will likely be adjusted to that level which local production can supply,” the attaché said.
