A report from the world's leading data analysis consultant estimated that the market size of China's fresh food e-commerce industry would reach RMB 263.8 billion in 2020. China's fresh food e-commerce platform would become an emerging growth market with increasing penetration of e-commerce, change of user habits, and surge in demand during the pandemic.

New production capacity from the new workshops is anticipated to be released in the second half of 2021. Products in new forms of packaging are expected to be available in the new workshops, which would increase the types and specifications of our products and effectively increase the number of new orders. Our production base in Yichang City in China continued to transform its facilities and enhance its capacity during the Review Period, resulting in increasing the production capacity on the Group's new products and existing processed fruit products. The Yichang production base can also facilitate the Group's storage and transportation of its own brand products in central part of China, and develop new types of processed fruit products in subtropical regions.
Actively seek M&A opportunities and strategic cooperation to achieve long-term development
The group has been actively looking for M&A and strategic cooperation opportunities, hoping to enrich its existing business, expand its sales network, enhance information exchange, explore new technologies, new inventions and new market opportunities, and strengthen the overall competitiveness of the group.
