The company advocates technology-driven development, and R&D as an important productivity. Hu Yong said that the company’s secondary biological fermentation technology obtained the national invention patent. This year, about 9 million yuan has been added to research and develop the processing technology of new products such as steamed pork, mandarin fish and Dabaidiao fish. And the liquid nitrogen preservation technology was introduced to ensure the product quality.

The staff of the park said that Pengjifang and Caiyun Spices plan to be listed during the 14th Five-year Plan (2021-2025).

It has made positive contributions to accelerating the development of modern agricultural industry, improving the development level of agricultural science and technology and increasing farmers’ income in the city.
