New Zealand - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Over the past 20 years the government has transformed New Zealand from an agrarian economy dependent on concessionary British market access to a more industrialized, free market economy that can compete globally. This dynamic growth has boosted real incomes - but left behind some at the bottom of the ladder - and broadened and deepened the technological capabilities of the industrial sector. Per capita income rose for ten consecutive years until 2007 in purchasing power parity terms, but fell in 2008-09. Debt-driven consumer spending drove robust growth in the first half of the decade, helping fuel a large balance of payments deficit that posed a challenge for economic managers. Inflationary pressures caused the central bank to raise its key rate steadily from January 2004 until it was among the highest in the OECD in 2007-08; international capital inflows attracted to the high rates further strengthened the currency and housing market, however, aggravating the current account deficit. The economy fell into recession before the start of the global financial crisis and contracted for five consecutive quarters in 2008-09. In line with global peers, the central bank cut interest rates aggressively and the government developed fiscal stimulus measures. The economy posted a 2% decline in 2009, but pulled out of recession late in the year, and achieved 1.7% growth in 2010 and 2% in 2011. Nevertheless, key trade sectors remain vulnerable to weak external demand. The government plans to raise productivity growth and develop infrastructure, while reining in government spending.

Operation details

 

Main activities :              The Subject engages in trading and distribution of food grains and

commodities, animal feed, wool and agricultural products.

 

The Subject expanded the wool business into New Zealand in 2011 with

the establishment of an office at the Viterra NZ headquarters in Auckland.

The NZ operation exports both greasy and processed wools to various

international markets and also sells into the domestic market.

 

The Subject is ultimately owned by Viterra Inc., a public listed company

based in Canada.

 

Viterra Inc. (the “Company” or “Viterra”) is a vertically integrated

international agri business with 3 main segments: Grain Handling and

Marketing, Agri-products and Processing.

 

Grain Handling and Marketing operates grain storage and processing

facilities strategically located in the prime agricultural growing regions of

North America, Australia and New Zealand, port terminal facilities located

in Canada and Australia, and additional merchandising offices in Europe

and Asia. Revenue is derived from the sale of grain commodities and

related ancillary services such as grain handling, blending, cleaning and

storage. The volume of grain shipments is relatively stable through the

quarters, but can be influenced by destination customer demand, customer

export programs and producers’ marketing decisions.

 

Agri-products operates a network of retail locations and fertilizer distribution

assets in North America and Australia. The segment also has an ownership

interest in a fertilizer manufacturing facility in Canada. Revenue is derived

from the sale of fertilizer, crop protection products, seed and seed

treatments, equipment, general merchandise, wool, and various financial

services. Agri-products’ sales peak during the growing season,

supplemented by additional crop nutrient sales in the late fall.

 

Processing operates in North America, Australia, China and New Zealand,

manufacturing and marketing value-added food products associated with

oats, canola, wheat, and malt barley, as well as feed products. Processing

earnings are relatively consistent throughout the year.

Viterra Provides Update on Glencore Transaction

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Aug. 27, 2012) - Viterra Inc. (Viterra) (TSX:VT) (ASX:VTA) provided an update today regarding the status of regulatory approvals of the proposed acquisition of Viterra by Glencore

International plc ("Glencore").

 

While the closing of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions, the sole remaining regulatory approval is the approval of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM) under the Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law.

 

Glencore continues to engage with MOFCOM to ensure approval as soon as possible. MOFCOM is now expected to continue its review into September. Viterra and Glencore will update the market in due course when they expect closing of the acquisition to occur.

March 20, 2012

GLENCORE TO ACQUIRE VITERRA

 

On March 20, 2012, Glencore International plc and Viterra Inc. announced that they had signed a definitive agreement pursuant to which Glencore agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Viterra for

C$16.25 per share in cash by way of a court approved plan of arrangement. The transaction price represents a premium of 48% over Viterra’s closing share price on the TSX on March 8th, 2012, the day prior to the announcement of expressions of interest regarding a potential transaction. The transaction values Viterra’s equity at approximately C$6.1 billion on a fully diluted basis.

 

Following an extensive review and analysis of the proposed transaction and other available alternatives, the Board of Directors of Viterra unanimously approved the transaction. The financial advisor to the Board of Directors of Viterra and the financial advisor to Viterra have provided opinions that, as of March 20, 2012, the consideration proposed to be paid to Viterra’s shareholders is fair from a financial point of view.

 

On May 29, 2012, Viterra shareholders approved the Arrangement at Viterra's special meeting of shareholders, and two days later the Ontario Superior Court of Justice issued a final order approving the Arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

Viterra enters NZ wool market

 

Big Canadian company Viterra is joining an already crowded and changing New Zealand wool trading market.

 

The arrival of Viterra at the same time as looming ownership changes with the biggest trader, New Zealand Wool Services International (WSI), will not be a coincidence, say wool industry sources.

 

The new business will be part of Viterra's Australasian operations, already a major contributor to group earnings after acquiring ABB Grain in 2009. It already operates stock feed processing plants and bulk commodity stores in NZ, where it employs about 115 people.

 

Viterra's Adelaide-based executive manager for agri-products, Peter Davey, said it would be a major new player in the market, arriving with balance sheet strength and a good knowledge of the international wool industry.

 

In Canada, Viterra has a market capitalisation equal to about NZ$4.9 billion, slightly more than Telecom's value here. By New Zealand standards it is a very big company. It is understood to have bought the Marquet Trading and Rokleay Wools businesses, both Auckland-based. Davey said Steve Major (ex Marquet) and Alan Robertson (Rokleay) would manage the New Zealand business, which would export both greasy and

processed wool.

 

The Viterra website says it is Australia's biggest exporter of wool, shifting 12.5% of the export clip, mainly to China, India, and Italy.

 

The New Zealand Farmers Weekly was told Viterra was very strong in China and had the scale to operate on a level playing field from the start with major traders here.

 

"It has plenty of money and could be a potential buyer of the WSI trading business or take up any slack if that business is closed,'' said one industry source. "It should be good for farmers.''


Wool scourer Cavalier Wool Holdings wants to buy the WSI assets – with plans to close the scour operations and sell the trading business – though its offer to the company is held up by a court challenge to its Commerce Commission authorisation. Wool Equities Ltd also has a bid in to merge with WSI.

 

Cavalier Wool chief executive Nigel Hales wouldn't comment on Viterra as a potential buyer of the WSI trading business, but said his group would talk to anyone with an interest if it does end up as the owner. "We know of

Viterra, it is strong and well managed.''

 

WSI managing director Michael Dwyer said it was too soon to say what Viterra's impact would be.

 

The president of the Council of Wool Exporters, John Dawson, who is WSI's general manager, had heard Viterra was coming but said he would need to know more detail before he could speak about its likely impact. "It

is very big in Australia and there will be ramifications here.''

 

In New Zealand, Viterra will be competing against the big traders ... WSI, Masurel, Fuhrmans, H Dawson & Sons and J S Brooksbank.

 

PGG Wrightson Wool, with its auction system and logistics operations, is not seen as a competitor though its niche export subsidiary Bloch & Behrens would be.

 

Davey said Viterra would source wool through the auction platform and from local agents and brokers. He said Major and Robertson were greatly experienced in the wool business and had operated their own export companies.

 

Viterra would source all types of wool and work with all suppliers.

 

15 July 2011

Viterra Wool expands to New Zealand

 

Australian wool buyer and exporter Viterra is expanding its wool business into the New Zealand market.

 

Peter Davey, Viterra's Executive Manager Agri-Products said the expansion would provide the New Zealand wool industry with a major new player.

 

"Viterra enters the market with balance sheet strength and good knowledge of the international wool industry," Mr Davey said.

 

Viterra has appointed Steve Major and Alan Robertson to manage the export of both greasy and processed wool into various international markets and sell into the local domestic market.

 

"Both Steve and Alan have significant experience in the New Zealand wool industry, from direct procurement to delivery of both greasy and processed wools to domestic and international clients and markets," he said.

 

"Stephen has worked in the NZ wool industry for 30 years and has run his own wool export company.

 

"Alan has worked in the wool industry for almost 40 years; first with a major wool processing company and then his own export business."

 

Viterra will source wool through the auction platform and from local agents and brokers.


Jan 5, 2011

CANADIAN commodity trader Viterra Wool has retained its ranking as

 

Australia's largest auction-room buyer.

 

For the first half of the 2010-11 selling season, Viterra bought 99,697 bales, accounting for 11.4 per cent of the total clearances of 972,009 bales.

 

More than 85 per cent of Viterra's purchases were Merino fleece lines. Viterra was ahead of Rod Franklyn's Techwool Trading, with 85,633 bales.

 

But if Techwool's tally included Western Australian wool bought through a third party, Techwool would be on a par with Viterra.

 

Although AWEX lists 60 auction-room buyers or exporters, the top 10 buyers account for nearly 70 per cent of the total clearances.

 

Other buyers in the top 10 included the Chinese exporters Williams Wool (third) and Kathaytex (eighth), Modiano (ninth) and the Australian traders Fox & Lillie (fourth), Queensland Cotton (fifth), Lempriere Australia (sixth), PJ Morris Wool (seventh) and Elders Wool International (10th).

 

Techwool, followed closely by Fox & Lillie, were the largest buyers of crossbred wool.

 

Williams Wool and Modiano were largest buyers of Merino skirtings.

 

Michell Australia and Techwool were largest buyers of oddments.

 

The southern region (Melbourne) continued to grow, with a clearance of 451,095 bales or 46.4 per cent, while northern sales, out of Newcastle and Sydney, were 306,581 bales or 31.5 per cent of the national clearance.

 

Western Australia accounted for 20.3 per cent.
