- Brief introduction
Based on ten years' consulting experience and data accumulation, CCM has developed
a dynamic database named ValoTracer which covers such industries as agriculture,
pharmaceuticals, energies, biotechnologies, chemicals and materials. ValoTracer,
a dynamic database which contains a dynamic butterfly value chain, has established
systematic connections among thousands of products in such fields as energies, chemicals,
pharmaceuticals and materials, according to their respective positions in various
industry chains which are interconnected. This database will greatly facilitate
the search and identification of commercial opportunities for manufacturer enterprises,
banks, investment institutions and government.
- What is the aim of dynamic database?
In the beta version, ValoTracer only contains the database for glyphosate industry,
a strong point of CCM's research based on its ten years research experience. In

six industries.

- 6. Content chunk
Content chunk is a mini article that describes or analyzes a specific event, or product,
or industry, or organization, or any other things.
Currently, most of the content chunks are obtained by splitting CCM's market reports,
newsletters and other consultancy products finished in the past ten years. But from
2010, the content chunks will be directly generated from CCM's everyday exclusive
survey and professional analysis.
There are two kinds of content chunks, namely text-type unit and image-type unit.
Text-type unit is composed of words, while image-type unit is mainly composed of
table, figure or photo.
All content chunks have a concise description and are tagged with all kinds of labels
for clear understanding. The labels include,
- Product mentioned,
- Industry mentioned,
- Species mentioned,
- living things mentioned,
- Organization mentioned,
- Policy;
- Registration;
- Production;
- Demand;
- Consumption;
- End user;
- Purchase;
- Downstream
- Import;
- Export;
- Price;
- New production line;
- Company dymanics;
- Forecast;
- Etc.
For each label, relatedness degree ranging from 1 to 5 will be marked to reveal
the relatedness degree to the content chunk. 1 indicates the lowest relatedness,
while 5 indicates the highest.
Also for each content chunk, the value ranging from 1 to 5 will be evaluated according
to the share of first-hand info and depth of analysis. 1 indicates the lowest value,
while 5 indicates the highest.
Here are two samples listed for further understanding.
Sample 1:
“Nantong Jiangshan's businesses cover production and sales of pesticides, resin,
basic chemicals, etc. In 2008, the company achieved revenue of USD472.49 million
(RMB3,232 million), 70.16% of which are from glyphosate, resin, sodium hydroxide
and dichlorvos.
Glyphosate is its major business. In 2008, Nantong Jiangshan gained sale income
of USD226.2 million (RMB 1,547 million) from glyphosate business, accounting for
59.3% of its total sales income. Glyphosate business has brought profit of USD72.47
million (RMB495.7 million) in 2008, accounting for 73.15% of its total gross profit.
Owing to the high price of glyphosate in H1 2008, Nantong Jiangshan has achieved
gross profit rate of 32.04% in glyphosate business in 2008, despite the price slump
in H2 2008.
As glyphosate price decreased sharply and hit the bottom in Q4 2008, glyphosate
business brought little profit to the company. It suffered loss this quarter.”
