The company’s overseas expansion has made steady progress. On the one hand, building factories overseas can reduce the costs of raw materials, logistics and tariffs, on the other hand, it is convenient for the company to respond to local consumer demand in time and improve product competitiveness, which is an important strategic measure for the company. Previously, the company’s factory expansion projects in Egypt and Russia were shelved due to the influence of government approval process and epidemic situation. At present, the restraining factors have been alleviated and the overseas expansion strategy has been promoted.

The determination to expand the production capacity of hydrolyzed sugar and stabilize the purchase cost of molasses is unprecedented. Combined with the previously announced Yichang hydrolyzed sugar project, the total capacity of the company’s hydrolyzed sugar projects in Yichang, Liuzhou and Chongzuo reaches 450000 tons (planned to be put into operation from May to June of 22). In the short term, we believe that this move will alleviate the cost pressure of the company for 22 years to a certain extent; In the long run, the company is expected to further explore the use of hydrolyzed sugar through this project, which is an important strategic measure for the company.

In short, on the one hand, in the past 21 years, the company has further deepened the reform under the pressure of the industry, with unprecedented efforts and determination in price increase, hydrolyzed sugar project construction and other measures, and the effect of the 22-year reform is expected to gradually appear; On the other hand, the company’s long-term strategies such as overseas expansion are also advancing steadily.
