China Resources Land (1109) says it has set aggressive sales targets even though the property sector will continue to focus on clearing inventory this year amid a supply glut.
The state-backed developer China's ninth-biggest is aiming for 78 billion yuan (HK$97.34 billion) in contract sales, 14 percent higher than last year's 70 billion yuan target, which it missed by 800 million yuan.
"Our sales target is not conservative," managing director and vice chairman Tang Yong said. "Supply is higher than standard level and the market is focusing on clearing inventory."
Despite the slump in the overall market, Shenzhen-based CR Land booked a 25 percent jump in core profit to HK$11.8 billion last year, helped by its focus on high-end projects in top-tier cities. Net profit was flat at HK$14.7 billion.

CR Land aims higher
The SMOG PROBLEM in the North may have eased now, thanks to the summer storms. But that is definitely not an excuse for all sides to stop addressing the issue.
The focus, in particular, should be on locals' participation and corn-farm companies.
Let's look at the corn farms first. Why? Because research shows corn farmers usually burn old plants and weeds to clear their land during the first quarter of the year ahead of the farming season. Their activities in effect cause hot spots that pollute the air.
With more than 5 million of the country's 7 million rai (1.12 million hectares) of corn farms concentrated in its North, northern provinces have inevitably been struggling with the smog problem around February and March every year since 2007.
Research also shows the more expansive corn farms become, the worse the air pollution is.
Jongklai Worapongsathorn, director of Chiang Mai's natural resources and environment office, said yesterday that forest fires played a very minor role in the smog problem.
"Most hotspots come from corn farms," he said.
Assistant Professor Suthinee Dontree, a lecturer at Chiang Mai University, said satellite images from 2007, 2010 and 2011 showed that hotspots covered more than 40 per cent of Chiang Mai's Mae Chaem, Hot, Chiang Dao, Omkoi, Chom Thong, Doi Tao, Fang, Chaiya Prakan and Mae Ai districts during the smog season.
Besides the many corn farms in the North, there are expansive farmlands in neighbouring Myanmar.
"Corn farms in Thailand's upper North, Myanmar and Laos must have spread over 10 million rai of land," she said.

Private sector must help fight northern Thailand smog

Willis thought she had created a solution for the problem of clear-cutting or encroachment on state, town or protected land when her bill, which became Public Act No. 06-89, passed in 2006.
But then BNE Energy, an energy company looking to build wind turbines on top of Canaan Mountain, cut down nearly 3 acres of heritage trees in the Housatonic State Forest instead of nearby private land. And the act, which offers penalties including fines up to five times the reasonable value of the trees or restoration of the land to its prior condition, was ignored.
Instead of referring the issue to the states attorney general for prosecution, Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Daniel Esty signed a consent order allowing the company to escape the conflict with a $10,000 fine and five years of monitoring for invasive species.
The slap-on-the-wrist penalty BNE received did not fulfill what Rep. Willis and Sen. Richard Blumenthal had intended when the original bill was proposed.
When I first did the legislation on encroachment on state or preserved land, the purpose was to ensure that land was restored if damages were done - they could get the property back to where it once was and the penalties were up to five times the value of the trees, so they were pretty stiff, Willis explained. But the problem was the case of Canaan Mountain, which was never referred to the attorney general. DEEP believed that they had the ability to do a consent decree so they went ahead and settled for what people feel was a lot less than warranted by the kind of destruction done.
The Berkshire Litchfield Environmental Council has been protecting Canaan Mountain from developers, utility companies and the state since the 1970s, its president Starling Childs said, and when the forest was damaged by BNE, the group took up the fight.
BLEC filed suit against the DEEP commissioner, charging that Esty side-stepped the law in issuing the consent order and that the settlement with BNE should be thrown out. Attorney General George Jepsen adamantly defended the DEEP action and BLEC was denied.
The group filed an appeal in December of 2013.
It has dragged on, Childs said. The court ruled in favor of the attorney generals argument. They narrowly interpreted the statute and the fact that we had brought this action, rather than addressing the environmental crime that had been committed. Continued...

At the height of the smog crisis this year, Thailand even had to ask for cooperation from Myanmar in helping prevent its people from clearing their farmland with fires.
