This recruitment conference coincided with the strategic efforts to decisively win the “Liaoshen Campaign” for the revitalization of Northeast China and Liaoning Province in the new era. It also aimed to thoroughly implement the national directives on promoting the development of food and fresh produce industry belts through e-commerce platforms, thereby supporting rural revitalization. The event sought to enhance public awareness of the high-quality products from the Dandong food and fresh produce industry belt and to promote the vigorous development of this sector, turning it into a leading industry that drives rural revitalization. The event received strong support and attention from government departments such as the Donggang Municipal Bureau of Commerce and the Donggang Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, as well as from organizations like the Donggang E-commerce Association and the Donggang Strawberry Association. Key participants included Mr. Muyan, Head of Alibaba’s Taobao Fresh Produce Industry; Senhor. Shuyang, Head of Taobao Tmall Fresh Produce Recruitment; and Mr. Zhoumu, Head of Taobao Live’s Northeast Region.

At the estuary of the Yalu River, along the coast of the Yellow Sea, the warm sea breeze meets the cold, humid air from the mountains, bringing abundant rainfall to this land. Thanks to its unique natural conditions, Donggang, a county-level city in Dandong, Liaoning Province, located at the northernmost tip of China’s coastline, has grown from planting 7 strawberry plants in 1924 to developing nearly 200,000 acres of strawberry greenhouses over the course of nearly a century, becoming the largest strawberry production and export base in China.
Nos últimos anos, Donggang’s food, produtos frescos, and agricultural industry belt have focused on implementing a high-quality brand cultivation plan. Donggang has set dual goals of achieving a century-old strawberry industry and a hundred-billion-yuan output value, combining market-driven approaches with government support, quality with efficiency, and uniqueness with standardization. The city has increased policy support, improved supporting infrastructure and services, created brands through unique characteristics, developed brands through standards, and strengthened brands through marketing. By telling the story of its brands, Donggang has enhanced their recognition, reputação, and competitiveness, building a “1+N” brand system and creating a prosperous agricultural industry. This approach has explored a new path for enriching farmers through e-commerce market expansion and premium product value enhancement.
Looking at the broader food and fresh produce e-commerce industry, the market has expanded continuously in recent years as national living standards have improved and concerns over food safety have grown. Statistics show that the market size of China’s fresh produce e-commerce reached 850 billion yuan in 2020 and is expected to grow to 2.7 trillion yuan by 2026.
Major players in the fresh produce e-commerce market include e-commerce platforms, logistics companies, supermarkets, and agricultural producers. E-commerce platforms like Alibaba’s Hema Fresh and Tmall Fresh hold a dominant market position. Além disso, logistics companies such as SF Express and supermarkets like Yonghui Supermarket are also actively expanding into the fresh produce e-commerce sector. Competition among these players is intense, primarily focusing on price, qualidade, delivery speed, and user experience.
As we enter 2023, the food and fresh produce e-commerce market is expected to have significant growth potential, with the market size continuing to expand. With technological advancements and strengthened policy support, fresh produce e-commerce will usher in new development opportunities.
With the comprehensive upgrading of consumption and the emergence of new trends in pet care, the demand for fresh produce in daily life has extended to emotional care, with fresh produce increasingly seen as a source of emotional companionship within households. The trend of “luxury” pet care is becoming mainstream. According to a 2023 consumer survey by “Euromonitor International” of Chinese pet owners, 63% of consumers believe that “fresh produce is one of the closest family members.” This has also led to the emergence of a series of related industries, such as fresh produce healthcare, beauty, pet boarding, and insurance, significantly promoting the development of the fresh produce economy.
In the online food and fresh produce live-streaming sales field, Taobao’s food and fresh produce sector and Taobao Live have increased investments in professional operations staff, traffic support, precise customer acquisition, and peripheral resources for fresh produce. They have also made significant efforts in standardizing sales and updating related backend rules. Adicionalmente, leveraging Alibaba’s years of experience and technological development, they have achieved real-time monitoring of fresh produce online sales and full logistics transportation, adopting high-standard auditing mechanisms, specialized fresh produce category rules, and industry-leading traffic algorithms. These measures not only protect buyers but also safeguard the interests of sellers. In terms of after-sales service, Alibaba has increased its dedicated customer service personnel for the food and fresh produce industry to ensure timely responses to inquiries from merchants and customers and to address their needs promptly.
Relying on the advantages of the food and fresh produce production area in Donggang, Dandong, Taobao’s food and fresh produce sector, and Taobao Live’s professional online standardized sales solutions, standardized after-sales service capabilities, and Alibaba’s efficient, pragmatic, professional, and innovative work attitude, combined with a ground team that is technologically advanced, forward-looking, information-driven, and standardized, are well-positioned to provide strong support. With the strong backing of the Donggang government and various associations and organizations, and the active cooperation of food and fresh produce industry belt practitioners and e-commerce partners, Donggang’s food and fresh produce sector is sure to reach new heights and achieve greater success!

Fang Xiu, Chairman of Minwei Industrial
The fast-paced lifestyle and changes in consumer demand, such as the rise of solo dining and smaller households, have, to some extent, spurred the development of ready-to-eat meals for the C-end market. With the deepening recognition of the “big food concept” and the inherent advantages of marine foods, such as high nutritional value, unique flavors, and a wide variety of options, aquatic ready-to-eat meals are gradually gaining popularity among consumers. Market data shows that in 2022, the scale of China’s aquatic ready-to-eat meal industry reached 104.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 16.8%. It is expected that by 2026, the market size will reach 257.6 billion yuan. As the aquatic ready-to-eat meal industry enters a “fast track” of development, it also gradually exposes market shortcomings, such as highly homogeneous products and lagging technological innovation, exacerbating industry chaos and competition among enterprises.
In this context, Minwei, a leader in the sea bass breeding field, has achieved outstanding results in the ready-to-eat meal sector within just two years, with a single product surpassing 200 million yuan in sales. Além disso, with highly competitive products and strategic positioning in the C-end market, the company has rapidly expanded its presence in both domestic and international markets, with products exported to more than a dozen countries and regions. How did Minwei, as a “cross-industry player,” successfully achieve a stunning transformation and upgrade? What long-term plans does the company have for the future?
“China Food Miles” interviewed Fang Xiu, Chairman of Fujian Minwei Industrial Co., Ltda. (hereinafter referred to as Minwei), to learn about the company’s development history, innovative capacity, and competitive moat.
Riding the Wave: A Sea Bass Breeding Leader Crosses into the Ready-to-Eat Meal Industry
Chairman Fang introduced that Minwei Foods’ parent company, Fujian Minwei Industrial Co., Ltda., foi estabelecido em 1992 and has a history of 31 anos. Over the past 30 anos, Minwei Industrial has focused on seedling breeding, aquaculture, processamento, and extended industries, mastering numerous industry-leading core technologies and taking critical steps at different stages. When domestic seedling technology was still in its infancy, the company developed sea bass reproductive control and indoor artificial breeding technology, solving the industry’s “bottleneck” problem. During the immature stage of marine aquaculture, the company developed intelligent deep-water anti-wave cages, promoting the digital transformation of the fishing industry. Em agosto 2010, when marine food processing technology was lagging, the company established Fujian Minwei Foods Co., Ltda., specializing in deep processing of marine fish, accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and empowering high-quality industrial development through technological innovation.
Chairman Fang mentioned that at the early stage of Minwei Foods’ establishment, in response to the market’s traditional processing and sales models of fresh and frozen aquatic products, the company pioneered the processing techniques of fish floss and fish jerky, greatly increasing the added value of aquatic products and embarking on the path of deep processing research and development. Em 2021, with the rapid development of ready-to-eat meals and the deepening trend of meal preparation in the catering industry, Minwei seized the opportunity to enter the ready-to-eat meal sector to overcome the market difficulties brought by the pandemic.
Entering the new sector, Minwei Foods fully leveraged its supply chain advantages in aquatic products such as sea bass. Atualmente, the company focuses on sea bass, large yellow croaker, and their deep-processed ready-to-eat meal products and ready-to-eat snacks. These include over 50 produtos, such as fish floss, fish jerky, fish collagen peptides, ready-to-eat grilled fish, and shredded fish.
Entre estes, “fish floss” is Minwei Foods’ star product, mainly made from sea bass, cod, and swordfish, offering a delicate and smooth texture rich in essential amino acids and vitamins. This product is popular both domestically and internationally and is currently exported to 11 countries and regions, including Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Cingapura, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
Another star product is ready-to-eat grilled fish, made from premium Tongjiang sea bass and large yellow croaker. The product’s processing involves modern technology, resulting in tender, saboroso, and highly nutritious fish with high protein content. This product has been highly praised and welcomed by consumers, with single-product sales exceeding 200 million yuan this year.
Innovation-Driven High-Value, High-Quality Development
In a highly competitive market environment, the ability to quickly create star products and establish brand recognition is undoubtedly supported by continuous innovation. Chairman Fang explained that Minwei Foods places great emphasis on technological innovation and independent research and development. The company has established a first-level independent core platform, a second-level key technology platform, and a third-level joint construction platform to gather innovation resources from the marine fish industry chain, attract innovative talents, and carry out technological innovation to provide scientific and technological support and services for industry chain research.
The internal R&D team at Minwei is mainly composed of experts, technicians, and outstanding talents in the deep processing field. The team currently includes 32 R&D personnel, 6 mid-to-senior engineers, 6 assistant engineers, e 20 experienced technical personnel.
Externally, Minwei has established the “Minwei Think Tank,” comprising 36 authoritative experts, including Chen Songlin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Guan Changtao, the chief scientist of the National Marine Fish System. The company has also built 16 research platforms, including the Zhangzhou Comprehensive Experiment Station of the National Marine Fish Industry Technology System, the National Society Innovation Service Station, the Fujian Sea Bass Breeding Key Laboratory, the Fuding Sea Bass Science and Technology Courtyard, and the Enterprise Technology Center. Minwei Foods empowers the entire industry chain’s technological research through innovation. Nos últimos anos, the company has carried out scientific research collaborations on marine fish breeding, species farming, aquatic product processing, and cold storage preservation technology.
In terms of industry-university-research integration, Minwei Foods collaborates with major universities and research institutes such as Shanghai Ocean University and Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University.
With the support of a strong R&D team and innovative capabilities, Minwei Foods and its products have received dual recognition from the industry and the market. Its “fish floss” has been awarded as a key new product by the Fujian Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, the single champion product of Ningde City’s manufacturing industry, and has won the “Gold Award Product” for 12 consecutive sessions at the China (Fuzhou) Fisheries Expo. The “grilled fish” was awarded the “2022 Fujian Provincial Ready-to-Eat Meal Gold Medal Dish,” and Minwei Foods was recognized as a “Fujian Provincial Ready-to-Eat Meal Leading Enterprise” in June 2023.
Building a Competitive Moat through Comprehensive Strength
How to break through in a rapidly changing market is a core challenge faced by every enterprise. Minwei has built its unique competitive moat through years of solid internal development.
Chairman Fang explained that Minwei has the advantage of a full industry chain. The company has established a full industry chain system covering seedling breeding, aquaculture, processamento, e vendas, forming a layout where “aquaculture is the foundation, seed breeding is the focus, and deep processing and ready-to-eat products are the core.” The company adopts a “company + farmer + base” business model, selling seedlings to farmers at fair prices, providing technical guidance and standardization, and signing fish repurchase agreements to ensure farmers’ stable profit margins while maintaining smooth production and sales processes, thus preserving Minwei’s competitive pricing power in the market.
Minwei’s products have quality and differentiation advantages. The company owns a natural harbor suitable for fish breeding and has long-term cooperation with farmers, implementing a 5+1 management model (unified seedlings, unified feed, unified standards, unified technology, unified testing). This approach standardizes operations across the entire industry chain, from seedling and feed supply to cost reduction and technology output, ensuring stable supply channels for raw materials.
In terms of quality and safety management, Minwei implements a “one product, one code” food safety information traceability system and has obtained certifications for national standards management systems, such as ISO9001, ISO22000, and HACCP, ensuring the safety of products from ocean to table. Chairman Fang highlighted that Minwei’s products have been designated for national leader summits and the Olympics. Em setembro 2017, as the largest fresh supplier in Fujian Province, the company supplied sea bass to the BRICS Xiamen Summit and was recognized as a “Special Supply Base for the National Leaders’ Xiamen Summit.” In February 2022, “boneless sea bass” was designated as a product for the Winter Olympics, and the company’s base was recognized as a “National Food and Nutrition Education Base.”
Minwei Foods integrates its resources to create differentiated product categories by adapting seasoning and quality levels to different scenarios and consumer groups. Por exemplo, it offers different seasoning and dish levels based on regional differences (North vs. South), domestic vs. international markets, and online vs. offline sales channels. Adicionalmente, by focusing on grilled fish as the core product, the company drives the sales of other local agricultural products, such as pairing Fuding betel nut taro with grilled fish to promote more local specialty products.
Minwei possesses core technological advantages. Chairman Fang explained that in seedling breeding, Minwei has mastered the “sea bass reproductive control and indoor artificial seedling breeding technology,” filling a gap in the national sea bass breeding industry. This technology is a core support for Minwei’s superior seed breeding and is currently the leading seedling technology in the industry, with an annual seedling output ranking first in the industry. In aquaculture, Minwei’s anti-wave deep-water cage farming technology uses a new type of floating rectangular intelligent farming cage system that can monitor the environment and automatically feed the fish. In processing, Minwei has developed 15 processing technologies, including those for fish jerky, fish floss, and ready-to-eat grilled fish, capable of processing over 20 types of products.
Envisioning the Future of Ready-to-Eat Meals and Preparing for Challenges
Discussing the future of the ready-to-eat meal industry, Chairman Fang stated that while the B-end market has matured, the C-end market is still in the exploratory stage. No entanto, with the diversification of dishes, the convenience of purchasing channels, the development of cold chain logistics, and the increasing consumer awareness of ready-to-eat meals, the C-end is expected to experience significant growth.
Chairman Fang is optimistic about the development prospects of the aquatic ready-to-eat meal segment, particularly the market potential of dishes like pickled fish and grilled fish, which are expanding from chain restaurants to the B-end and from dining establishments to households. The B-end market has a large demand and meets the catering industry’s needs for cost reduction, eficiência, and standardization. Adicionalmente, the share of group dining and rural chefs is increasing yearly, promoting the rapid development of the ready-to-eat meal market. The B-end and C-end markets must collaborate and drive each other forward to jointly create a bright future for the ready-to-eat meal industry.
Facing future market challenges, Chairman Fang mentioned that Minwei Foods will further strengthen market research, develop new ready-to-eat meal products through precise market positioning to meet the personalized needs of different consumers and consumption scenarios, and actively seek overseas distributors and retailers to establish partnerships. The company plans to establish localized sales and distribution networks in the future to deliver products directly to overseas customers. To address potential production capacity issues, Minwei will actively upgrade its equipment, enhance the intelligence and automation of its production facilities, further reserve factory space, and increase capacity to prepare for the expected boom and in-depth development of the ready-to-eat meal market.

The theme of this year’s symposium was “Innovation Leading the High-Quality Development of the Dairy Industry.” The conference featured a series of discussions and exchanges on topics such as “Healthy Dairy Farming,” “Milk Quality,” and “Dairy Consumption,” focusing on theoretical research, technological innovation, and industry development experiences.
Thanks to its active exploration and innovative practices in full-chain standardization, Changfu Dairy was recognized by an expert panel organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs as a “Dairy Industry Full-Chain Standardization Pilot Base.” This honor acknowledges the company’s outstanding contributions to promoting high-quality development in the dairy industry through its adherence to full-chain standardization and implementation of the National Premium Milk Program.
Full-chain standardization is a key driver of high-quality development. Por muitos anos, Changfu Dairy has upheld a spirit of innovation and persistence, rigorously focusing on high-quality milk sources, production processes, and cold chain transportation to establish a top-notch full-chain system. The company has been deeply committed to the National Premium Milk Program, helping to propel the dairy industry into a new era of high-quality development.
It is worth noting that as early as 2014, during the experimental phase of the National Premium Milk Program, Changfu voluntarily applied and was the first dairy company in China to initiate in-depth cooperation with the program team.
In February 2017, Changfu’s pasteurized fresh milk successfully passed the acceptance test for the National Premium Milk Program, meeting the national premium standards. The milk was recognized not only for its safety but also for its superior quality.

Changfu became the first and only dairy company in China to have all its pasteurized fresh milk products authorized to bear the “National Premium Milk Program” label.
Over the years, Changfu has invested billions of yuan in the pursuit of continuous high-quality development, becoming an important source of premium milk data in China and making significant contributions to the development of the national premium milk standard system. The company has been recognized as a “National Key Leading Enterprise in Agricultural Industrialization” and has been named one of China’s top 20 dairy companies for three consecutive years, reflecting its unwavering commitment to its original mission and purpose.
Recentemente, the “Qingyuan Chicken” Industry High-Quality Development Promotion Meeting and the “Qingyuan Chicken” Geographical Indication Special Mark Award Ceremony were held in Qingcheng District. Qingcheng District Vice Mayor Lei Huankun attended the ceremony and awarded plaques to four companies that were granted the right to use the “Qingyuan Chicken” Geographical Indication Special Mark.
A geographical indication is a commercial value mark that indicates the specific quality of a product is directly related to the unique natural or human factors of its place of origin.

É relatado que o Ziyan Food Innovation Research Institute realizará três funções principais: lançar mais produtos novos que se alinhem com as tendências do mercado e as demandas dos consumidores, garantindo alta qualidade do produto e segurança alimentar, e convertendo rapidamente os resultados da pesquisa em produtividade.
No evento, um repórter da Blue Whale Finance notou que o Ziyan Food Innovation Research Institute havia planejado várias áreas funcionais, incluindo uma área de exposição corporativa, área de degustação de produtos, área de pesquisa de tecnologia de sabores, área de avaliação sensorial, e área de análise de instrumentos. A Ziyan Food também otimizou e atualizou seu produto existente R&Centro D em termos de software e hardware, por exemplo, adquirindo uma série de equipamentos líderes nacionais e internacionais de processamento e teste de alimentos e trazendo pesquisadores profissionais de sabores e talentos de alta tecnologia.
De acordo com informações disponíveis, Ziyan Food é um produtor em grande escala de alimentos refogados na China, focando no R&D, produção, e vendas de produtos refogados. Os principais produtos da empresa incluem “Fatias de Pulmão para Marido e Mulher,”“Frango Baiwei,”E“Frango Tengjiao,”que são feitos de aves, como frango, pato, carne bovina, carne de porco, assim como vegetais, frutos do mar, e produtos de soja. Estes produtos são utilizados principalmente como acompanhamento de refeições, complementado pelo consumo casual, com a marca principal sendo “Ziyan”.
Apesar de ter uma linha de produtos diversificada, o principal produto “Husband and Wife Lung Slices” continua sendo um forte impulsionador de vendas. De acordo com Ziyan Food's 2023 relatório semestral, produtos frescos contribuíram 86.08% da principal receita comercial da empresa, com o produto “estrela” “Husband and Wife Lung Slices” gerando vendas de 543 milhão de yuans, contabilidade para 31.59%.
“Sempre tentamos criar produtos mais famosos, como ‘Husband and Wife Lung Slices’ e ‘Tengjiao Chicken’., este ano lançamos produtos como Carne Refrescante, Pés De Porco Refrescantes, Fatias de Frango Bobo, e pedaços crocantes. Mas na verdade é muito desafiador superar esses dois produtos, porque nossos clientes geralmente pensam primeiro em frango Tengjiao e fatias de pulmão de marido e mulher, e depois compre alguns outros. Nós quebramos a cabeça tentando nos superar, e muitas vezes as coisas não saem como planejado, mas devemos continuar lançando produtos com vitalidade,”Zhong Huaijun disse. “Costumo dizer que foi como o WeChat superou o QQ; podemos criar outro e nos revolucionar?”
É relatado que a Ziyan Food estabeleceu longo prazo, parcerias estáveis com grandes fornecedores como Wens Foodstuff Group, Grupo Nova Esperança, e o Grupo COFCO para o fornecimento de matérias-primas essenciais, como frangos inteiros, carne bovina, e subprodutos de pato. Isso permite que a empresa obtenha produtos frescos, ingredientes de alta qualidade desde a origem e, contando com suas cinco bases de produção, formar um sistema completo de cadeia de suprimentos com a distância ideal de entrega da cadeia de frio conforme o raio de radiação, fornecimento rápido, e máxima frescura. Os pedidos feitos no dia anterior são produzidos no mesmo dia e entregues nas lojas no mesmo dia ou no dia seguinte, garantindo o frescor dos produtos.
Vale ressaltar que a atualização da cadeia de abastecimento da Ziyan Food também otimizou seu lado de custos. A Ziyan Food afirmou em seu relatório financeiro que os preços das matérias-primas estão próximos da faixa dos anos anteriores, e a empresa fortaleceu a otimização da cadeia de suprimentos, processos de produção melhorados, e tecnologia atualizada, resultando em melhorias significativas no lucro líquido.
De acordo com Ziyan Food's 2023 relatório do terceiro trimestre, a empresa obteve receita operacional de aproximadamente 882 milhões de yuans nos primeiros três trimestres. A margem de lucro bruto da empresa foi 24.19%, acima 6.69 pontos percentuais ano a ano; a margem de lucro líquido foi 12.06%, acima 3.94 pontos percentuais ano a ano. Olhando para os indicadores trimestrais, no terceiro trimestre de 2023, a margem de lucro bruto da empresa foi 29.17%, acima 11.07 pontos percentuais em termos anuais e 6.18 pontos percentuais em termos trimestrais; a margem de lucro líquido foi 15.15%, acima 5.38 pontos percentuais em termos anuais e 1.67 pontos percentuais em termos trimestrais.
Além disso, expandir seu segmento de mercado é uma das estratégias de aumento de receita da Ziyan Food. Após seu investimento estratégico na Lao Han Bian Chicken em junho, A Ziyan Food deu outro passo em setembro ao investir estrategicamente na Jing Cui Xiang. O presidente da Ziyan Food, Ge Wuchao, afirmou que a firmeza e a exploração diversificada são dois aspectos inseparáveis do desenvolvimento empresarial. A firmeza é a base do desenvolvimento da empresa; desde a criação da empresa, estamos profundamente engajados no mercado de acompanhamentos refogados, comprometidos em consolidar nossa posição de liderança no setor. No entanto, com as mudanças no ambiente de mercado e a diversificação das necessidades dos consumidores, vemos também a necessidade de explorar novas oportunidades de desenvolvimento nas bases existentes. A empresa continua a explorar caminhos de desenvolvimento diversificados, lançando diversas submarcas, como “Feng Si Niang Qiaojiao Beef,”“Shaguo Zhuangyuan,”E“ Jiaoyan Jiaoyu,”Abrangendo categorias como jantares casuais e comida refogada casual, bem como parcerias estratégicas com marcas de alimentos como Lao Han Bian Chicken e Jing Cui Xiang. Esta estratégia abre oportunidades de crescimento mais amplas para a empresa. Através de um layout estratégico diversificado, a empresa pode responder rapidamente às mudanças do mercado, aumentar a competitividade geral, e consolidar ainda mais a sua posição de liderança na indústria para alcançar o desenvolvimento a longo prazo.
Por outro lado, com o forte impulso da recuperação da indústria da restauração, a competição também se tornou mais intensa. Ge Wuchao admitiu que depois da pandemia, a demanda do consumidor mudou, com maior foco na segurança alimentar e saúde. Adicionalmente, à medida que o poder de compra dos consumidores se recupera, pode atrair mais concorrentes para o mercado. Portanto, A Ziyan Food precisa fortalecer a construção da marca e os esforços de marketing para aumentar a influência da marca e a participação no mercado para manter sua posição de liderança no setor. Fortalecendo ainda mais o produto R&D e controle de qualidade para fornecer mais segurança, produtos mais saudáveis que melhor atendam às necessidades do consumidor é essencial.

Recentemente, Ziyan Foods released its third-quarter earnings report, providing a detailed overview of the company’s revenue and growth rates. According to the data, for the first three quarters of 2023, the company’s revenue was approximately 2.816 billion yuan, representing a 2.68% Aumento ano a ano. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was about 341 milhão de yuans, acima 50.03% ano após ano. In the third quarter alone, net profit attributable to shareholders was 162 milhão de yuans, marking a 44.77% increase compared to the previous year. These growth figures offer deeper insights into Ziyan Foods’ development.
The continuous growth achieved by Ziyan Foods is closely linked to its strategic initiatives, particularly in sales channels. With the trend towards branding and chain operations and the increasing demand for modern information technology in corporate management, a single direct-sales model is no longer the company’s primary choice. Como resultado, Ziyan Foods has gradually transitioned to a two-tier sales network model, involving “Company-Distributor-Stores.” The company has established franchise stores in key provincial and municipal regions through distributors, substituting the roles of the original management team with distributors. This two-tier network reduces the time and cost associated with developing and managing terminal franchise stores, facilitating cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and rapid business expansion.
In addition to the distributor model, Ziyan Foods retains 29 direct-operated stores in cities such as Shanghai and Wuhan. These stores are used for store image design, consumer feedback collection, accumulating management experience, and training. Unlike franchise stores, Ziyan Foods maintains control over direct-operated stores, conducting unified financial accounting and benefiting from store profits while covering store expenses.
Nos últimos anos, the rise of e-commerce and the rapid development of the takeaway culture have also provided direction for Ziyan Foods. Seizing the opportunity of rapid industry growth, the company has quickly expanded its presence on e-commerce platforms, creating a diversified, multi-dimensional marketing network that includes e-commerce, supermarkets, and group buying models. This strategy caters to contemporary consumers’ diverse supply needs and further accelerates brand development. Por exemplo, Ziyan Foods has launched official flagship stores on e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and JD.com, and has also joined takeaway platforms like Meituan and Ele.me. By customizing promotional activities for different regional consumer scenarios, Ziyan Foods enhances brand empowerment. Adicionalmente, the company collaborates with major O2O fresh food e-commerce platforms like Hema and Dingdong Maicai, providing precision processing and supply services for well-known chain restaurants.
Looking ahead, Ziyan Foods is committed to continuously strengthening its sales channels, keeping pace with modern developments, and updating its sales methods. The company aims to deliver more high-quality products to consumers, ensuring a more convenient shopping and dining experience.
