This is interesting, A2M received CFDA approval today in China, which mean they can now sell legally direct to China super markets and you would think this is a very good thing but one person made a very interesting comment on the A2M thread this morning:-
"Guys
Need to take this Ann cautiously
As a Chinese I know the dai gou industry well.
The reason why a2m was selling like a hot cake is partly thanks to dai gou. Middle classPeople in China don't buy milk powder from local shop . They import from Australia via dai gou. Because people don't trust the authenticity . Once the import by is legalised there will be lots of fake a2m (generic is a better word) milk in china which will utilmately damage a2m brand and the stock pile in Australia supermarket.
Portions of people will think they can buy authentic a2m from china hence avoid dai gou and I bet you that some of those will be cheated with fake a2m.
I like this company and did very well and making lots money. But this Ann to be is not as positive as the financial report. Of course share price will go 5% north but beware .
Disclosure: I Sold a chunk @$4.2 and did few trades along way to $5.5"
My take on this is the Dai gou may switch brands next year to the non CFDA approved Infant Formulae brands made in Australia such as Bellamys. May be it is not the best thing for the Dai Gou for A2M to be approved but it is good news for Bellamys as their sales with the Dai Gou will now increase.....just an interesting observation.
Please comment if you are a Dai gou.

Hi all,
I have been hovering in/out in the background of Hotcopper for a few years now and thought, I'll give it a go.
I think it is more a question of BAL or A2M can ensure they sell its products through bonafide and trusted distributions channels in China. Daigou strategies can be risky if the producers don't know what they are doing, IMO.
There has been a lot of turbulence in this sector but plenty of scope if the producers know what they are doing.
Isn't FNP also looking at China, think they have a similar strategy to A2M?
Exciting time for Australian producers.
