Recently, the Group has released its latest industry assessments and development recommendations, focusing on key areas such as the selection of technological pathways for China’s feed industry, directions for equipment upgrades, and overseas agricultural deployment. These insights hold significant reference value for advancing the high-quality development of China’s feed sector and for strengthening the national food security system. 
From the 1970s to the 1980s, China’s feed industry was still in its infancy, with a high proportion of bran, husks, and miscellaneous oilseed meals in the raw material mix. Taking national conditions into account, the industry ultimately adopted an American‑style process—“grinding first, then blending”—and, in 1983, promoted the widespread use of automated, turnkey feed‑production equipment. This approach significantly improved raw‑material utilization efficiency, spurred sustained growth in the production of meat, eggs, and milk, and provided crucial support for improving the dietary patterns of the population. According to available data, China’s annual total feed output has now exceeded 300 million tons, underpinning an annual output of approximately 176 million tons of meat, eggs, and milk. The Group believes that the feed industry is not only a foundational sector for the development of animal husbandry but also an essential component of the national food‑security system.
To promote the development of China’s feed industry, as early as the late 1990s, Chairman Hao Bo, serving as a deputy to the Ninth National People’s Congress, submitted several forward-looking proposals to the Standing Committee of the NPC. These included reorganizing the management of feed‑industry enterprises from dual oversight by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture to unified administration under the Ministry of Agriculture; incorporating feed enterprises into the “Vegetable Basket Project” and providing them with appropriate industrial support policies; and strengthening safety and hygiene supervision of feed‑additive manufacturers to ensure the safety of the public’s food supply. All these proposals were adopted, playing a pivotal role in improving China’s governance framework for the feed industry, clarifying industry‑management responsibilities, and elevating food‑safety standards—effects that continue to resonate today.
In terms of internationalization, the Group has long been committed to expanding its feed‑processing equipment business overseas, fulfilling not only commercial functions but also a strategic mission to strengthen global food supply chains. Since 2014, we have established a subsidiary in Brazil, providing large‑scale feed‑processing and storage‑transportation systems with capacities ranging from 45 to 90 tons per hour for the South American market. At the same time, we have actively participated in agricultural infrastructure development along the Belt and Road Initiative, including a 1‑million‑ton‑per‑year feed‑and‑grain‑storage project in Belarus, thereby facilitating the localization of China’s design concepts, formulation technologies, and engineering systems abroad and providing robust support for building China’s “second granary” overseas.
Chairman Hao Bo stated that the trends toward larger scale, greater intelligence, and higher efficiency in equipment will be key drivers of the feed industry’s future development. At present, Zhengchang’s high‑efficiency pelletizing lines, with capacities ranging from 75 to 90 tons per hour, have been widely adopted in markets such as South America, with performance metrics matching or surpassing those of comparable international products. He noted that, as China’s livestock sector undergoes structural adjustments, silage‑feed equipment is poised to unlock new growth opportunities, while demand for sinking extruded and other specialized aquaculture feed technologies and equipment along coastal industrial belts will continue to rise. Looking ahead to the industry’s long-term prospects and its global expansion, he proposed initiatives including the development of a global roadmap for China’s feed industry, the establishment of an international cooperation task force, the promotion of a “enterprise–research–finance” joint overseas‑expansion framework, and the strengthening of international talent networks and think‑tank systems—measures designed to enhance the Chinese feed industry’s influence and collaborative capacity within the global food supply chain.
The Chairman emphasized that the development of the feed industry is vital not only for improving the nutritional profile of the population but also for ensuring the long-term stability of the national food system. Zhengchang Group will continue to invest steadily in technological innovation, engineering services, and international expansion, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of China’s feed industry.
