12 July 2007 - According to a statement sent to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange by BBCA, the floods, which have hit China this week, have seriously affected fuel ethanol production at two of its facilities located 10 to 20 metres from the Huai River.
The company has temporarily shut its two production lines.
The two facilities also produce lysine and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
The closures should not hinder the company’s profit, BBCA said. The firm added that other lines were operating as normal.
Anhui BBCA Biochemical, part of BBCA Group, produces starch, citric acid, sweeteners and vitamin products for the food industry.
