Haida Group plays a leading role and strives for the "Millions of Projects"

As the seasons change, the land of southern Guangdong is surging with vitality. The 2024 Guangzhou Municipal Government Work Report proposes to fully implement the "Hundred Thousand Thousand Project", promote coordinated development between urban and rural areas, earnestly learn and draw on the experience of the "Ten Thousand Project", comprehensively promote the strengthening of districts and the promotion of towns and villages with first-class efforts, and serve as a demonstration and example for the province to build a new pattern of coordinated development between urban and rural areas.

Agricultural leading enterprises are the backbone of promoting the "Millions of Projects". As the first agricultural enterprise in Guangzhou with a revenue of over 100 billion yuan, Haida Group has developed steadily in recent years, with its core industry of feed sales ranking among the top two in the world, including the world's largest sales of aquatic feed; The seedling and animal protection industry has global leading technological strength and industrialization scale.

As a leading agricultural enterprise in China, Haida Group has always been rooted in rural areas and serves agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. The industrial development model we have devoted ourselves to has been playing a role in rural industrial revitalization and agricultural linkage. The relevant person in charge of Haida Group stated that in vast rural areas, Haida Group relies on the industrial chain resources that run through the entire breeding chain, and through leading scientific research and service systems, helps millions of farmers to scientifically breed, increase income, and become prosperous, contributing Haida's strength to the "Millions of Projects" and rural revitalization.

Industrial chain collaboration empowers rural development

Focusing on building a modern rural industrial system and increasing farmers' income and wealth is a key direction for implementing the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project".

Guangdong is an important aquaculture region in China, with aquaculture area and production ranking among the top in the country. Especially in the the Pearl River Estuary, the culture of common water fish has a long history, including the four famous domestic fishes, crucian carp, tilapia and other varieties, with obvious scale and regional characteristics.

In 2023, the aquaculture of common water fish in the Pearl River Delta region is facing difficulties, and many farmers have lost confidence. How to help farmers increase their breeding income is an important issue in ensuring the stable progress of the breeding industry. To this end, on the one hand, Haida Group provides high-quality products with better cost-effectiveness for farmers and firmly offers benefits to them; On the other hand, continuously summarizing the breeding and profit models, driving stable and increased income for farmers through advanced models, and boosting industry confidence.

A distributor of Haida Feed said that they have been cooperating with Haida for many years. Haida Feed has developed corresponding formulas and products based on different breeding modes. A commonly used sea grass fish ingredient currently has healthy eating, fast growth, stable quality, and high cost-effectiveness. When the fish from the pond catches a relatively ideal price range, it can be sold at a good price

The relevant person in charge of Haida Group stated that in response to the market pain points in the breeding industry, such as the lack of good technology, good products, limited market information, and high financial pressure, Haida Group continues to provide high-quality seedlings, feed, and animal protection vaccine products, as well as full process breeding technology guidance, market information circulation, and financial service support for millions of farmers based on leading technology research and development and improved industrial chain resources.

In order to promote cutting-edge scientific breeding technology and high-quality products in rural areas, Haida Group has more than 10000 technical service engineers rooted in fields and ponds, and has built rural revitalization technical service stations in many parts of the province, providing normalized full process technical services to millions of farmers, bridging the "last mile" of agricultural technology services, and driving farmers to become prosperous and agricultural progress.

As an enterprise with a full industry chain layout, Haida Group adopts the model of "company+industrial park (base)+breeders" to centrally drive the common development of breeders in large areas. In Zhanjiang, where Guangzhou provides targeted assistance, Haida Group will start building a factory based breeding base for South American white shrimp from 2022. It integrates scientific research, marine seed industry, factory based breeding, logistics, processing, and joint agriculture to drive local cooperatives and farmers to cooperate in breeding and increase income through various means.

Revitalization of the seed industry and assistance in strengthening the agricultural market

The 2024 Guangzhou Municipal Government Work Report proposes to solidly promote the revitalization of the seed industry and select a batch of advantageous and characteristic new varieties of "Sui Zi".

Haida Group is well aware of the importance of developing the aquatic seed industry, especially the independent research and development of major economic varieties, and breaking the dependence on imported seed sources of foreign varieties. The relevant person in charge of Haida Group stated that Haida Group has been building the aquatic seed industry sector since 2003, specializing in the breeding of fish and shrimp seeds, seedling production, and demonstration promotion. Currently, it has more than 100 fish and shrimp fry farms worldwide.

Compared to traditional public welfare breeding in scientific research institutions, Haida Group places more emphasis on industry demand and market orientation in the breeding field. It has taken the lead in establishing a commercial breeding system that integrates breeding, reproduction, and promotion in the industry. Not only does it maintain its leading scientific research and development capabilities, but it can also transform its technological advantages into market-oriented industrialization advantages. Every year, it supplies billions of high-quality seedlings to the market, providing a source guarantee for helping farmers achieve successful breeding.

It is reported that in the field of aquatic seed industry, Haida Group has independently developed 6 new national varieties, and the sales of fish and shrimp seedlings rank first in the world. Especially in the breeding of South American white shrimp, the largest single aquatic product in the world, Haida Group has achieved outstanding first mover advantages and strong technical barriers, breaking the bottleneck problem of imported seed sources.

Recently, Haida Group has had frequent good news in the fields of seed and aquaculture: four subsidiary companies have been listed in the "List of National Aquaculture Health Aquaculture and Ecological Aquaculture Demonstration Zones (2023)" released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs; Hainan Haixing Agriculture has been approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs as a national level breeding ground for South American white shrimp; The hybrid snakehead 'Male Snakehead No.1' has been selected as a major new product for agriculture and rural areas in China in 2023; Two subsidiary companies have been listed as the backbone bases for promoting green and healthy aquaculture technology in 2023.

Currently, Guangdong is vigorously developing modern marine pastures and accelerating the construction of "blue granaries". The 2024 Guangzhou Municipal Government Work Report proposes to build a modern city that showcases marine characteristics.

At present, relying on its technological advantages, resource reserves, and industrialization scale in the aquaculture industry, Haida Group is accelerating its efforts in the field of marine ranch breeding, and actively laying out factory farming and deep-sea farming in the near sea, providing strong industrial support for the deep cultivation of "offshore granaries".

Technology leads and supports the integration of agriculture and rural development

As a fundamental and traditional industry, agriculture has a stronger practical urgency for tackling core technologies and transforming scientific and technological achievements. Agricultural enterprises are the closest to agriculture and the closest to farmers, playing an important role in promoting the development of agricultural industrialization, enhancing the level of agricultural technological innovation, and supporting the prosperity of rural industries.

In the past year, the agricultural and animal husbandry industry has faced enormous challenges, with upstream raw material prices rising and downstream consumption weak, putting pressure on agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises. In this context, Haida Group maintains steady growth, achieving a "double increase" in operating revenue and net profit in the first three quarters of 2023. The core driving force behind it is that Haida Group regards technology as the core competitiveness of the enterprise, actively promotes scientific research and achievement transformation in fields such as animal nutrition and aquatic seedlings, and has achieved significant market results.

Taking the feed industry as an example, feed is a key agricultural production material and an important foundation for promoting the development of animal husbandry. Behind the support of Haida Feed's sales ranking second in the world is the core professional strength of Haida Group, which has been built over more than 20 years, including centralized raw material procurement, scientific research and formulation, production and operation, and quality control management.

It is reported that after years of research and development, Haida Group has accumulated a huge database of animal nutrition needs, providing fundamental guarantees for refined animal nutrition; At the same time, we are the first in the industry to establish a global raw material procurement system, deepening our raw material procurement channels to the forefront and ensuring stable supply and quality safety of raw materials from the source; Through Haida's over 200 feed factories worldwide, relying on intelligent production equipment and refined quality control, we have steadily exported over 140 million tons of high-quality feed to the market. At the same time, Haida Group continues to innovate soybean meal reduction and substitution technologies, reducing the risk of raw material imports and contributing to the maintenance of national food security.

In the past 10 years, Haida Group's research and development investment has been increasing year by year, with a total of over 4 billion yuan.
