cat, china is overestimated. all big players in the market know that.

she is right, china should study henry ford, but they will never increase their low wage. the simply reason is, if so, the goverment can not afford their goverment officer's wage.

so, at this moment, china is only a "paper tiger".

Some interesting views of China position :-
http://www.frontlinethoughts.com/index.asp

In many respects China have made very fast progress on various difficult issues in a very short timeframe.

It always surprises me when instant change is expected from "backward" nations like Africa, let alone an old culture such as China has. A few decades are of nothing in such context.

I often think that the world leading economy USA (recently downgraded) would do well to become less fixated on its own naval to learn some lessons from some of the older cultures. American materialism has been a very bad influence on us all and uk follows close behind I hasten to add.

Delivery depots for peanuts operate in South Burnett, on the Atherton Tableland and in Clifton. Here peanuts are graded with the best grade (Grade 1) of peanuts being the driest, cleanest and having the biggest kernels. The peanuts are stored in short fat silos. From here, peanuts are taken to the shelling plant where conveyor belts and shakers clean and sort the peanuts. A strict quality control technician checks peanuts for aflatoxin, a poisonous substance caused by mould in peanuts.

USES FOR THE PRODUCT
There are large differences in production of tonnes and yield from year to year. Nevertheless the largest demand for peanuts is in snack foods - packaged salted, roasted or raw. Lower yielding peanuts have their skins removed and are ground to make peanut butter, peanut oil and also are a common ingredient in confectionary like chocolate and in biscuits. 90% of all peanut butter is peanuts, the other 10% being salt, vegetable oil and a sweetener dextrose. (A 500g bottle takes 810 peanuts to produce).

BY-PRODUCTS
Peanut meal made from peanut butter plants after harvesting is an important source of protein for stock feeds. Also the making and selling of peanut hay from peanut plants gives some farmers extra income, but this deprives the soil of valuable nutrients for further crops. Peanut shells also make good garden mulch and are used and sold as fertilizer.

EXPORTS
As Australia's production of peanuts cannot satisfy the local demand, Australia has to import peanuts. Currently, Australia had provided 47 000 tonnes for the local market but still had to import 5 000 to 8 000 tonnes, mainly from China, India and Argentina. The price of peanuts on the world market has been steady over the past 10 years except when the USA has had a crop shortage. ISA is the dominant world exporter of peanuts and tends to se the world prices. Chinese and Argentinean peanuts are usually discounted five to twenty percent on the US price.

CONCLUSION
Peanuts have an excellent storageability. As well, many parts of the plants are used - peanuts for consumption, remaining foliage for animal feed or fertilizer to enrich the soil. Very little pesticides are used and with good management peanut diseases are avoided. So the industry is very environmentally friendly. If peanut growers seek to keep yields of a high quality using crop rotation, disease control measure, the right timing in pulling the crop, improving threshing conditions and drier settings then a profit can be maintained. Then Australia may soon meet its own domestic demand and then think about a growing export potential.

so you think China's dependency on exports grow? My friend who is married to a Chinese woman
kept on telling me for years that China should study Henry Ford. When 2 thirds of Chinese cannot afford to buy China industry products due to low wage and high inflation China's dependency on global economy raises but it should fall instead.
He told me recently social unrest grows in rural areas.
Could be Chia is widely overestimated ?
