The industrial investment promotion activities of Nanjing National Agricultural High-tech Zone have achieved another fruitful result. Recently, Jiangsu Xingchen Fangzhou Technology Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Xingeji Pet Products Co., Ltd. have officially signed agreements and settled in two projects. These projects are respectively focused on smart agriculture and new pet consumption, with a total investment exceeding 600 million yuan.
Xingxun Fangzhou:
Building a benchmark project for intelligent facility agriculture
Jiangsu Xingchen Fangzhou Technology Co., Ltd. is a national-level technology-based small and medium-sized enterprise and a private technology enterprise in Jiangsu Province. With its independently developed agricultural production environment simulation system as the core, it has established a three-in-one technological matrix of “plant factory + biological light source + growth database”, covering three business segments: modular plant factory solutions, intelligent planting equipment, and high-quality healthy fruits and vegetables. Its products have passed strict traceability certification and achieve the “5-zero” standards – zero pesticide residues, zero hormones, zero additives, zero pollution, and zero public hazards.
The total investment of the project is 500 million yuan. It will build a strawberry plant factory, a sales center and a fruit production and processing base in the Agricultural High-tech Zone. After reaching full production capacity, it is expected to produce over 4,000 tons of strawberries and related fruit products annually, achieving sales of 529 million yuan. This will become a benchmark project for smart facility agriculture in the Agricultural High-tech Zone.
New period:
36-hour signing process boosts investment promotion “speed”
Hangzhou Xingeji Pet Products Co., Ltd. is an innovator in the development and application of new raw materials for cat litter in China. It adopts a “contract manufacturing + brand” dual-drive model and has built a highly automated plant-based cat litter factory in Shandong.
The project plans to invest 110 million yuan, lease approximately 10,000 square meters of factory space, and build two advanced plant-based cat litter production lines. The main products will be environmentally friendly cat litter such as tea, tofu, and cassava. After reaching full production capacity, it is expected to achieve an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons of plant-based cat litter, with an annual output value of 120 million yuan. From the initial negotiation to reaching the investment intention, it only took 36 hours, setting a new record for the investment attraction speed in the Agricultural High-tech Zone.
The two projects have high technological content, promising market prospects, strong driving capabilities, and are highly compatible with the industrial positioning of the Agricultural High-tech Zone, which focuses on “smart agriculture” and “technology services”.
The Agricultural High-tech Zone has been working precisely along the strategy of “breaking through in biotechnology and smart agriculture, and expanding the future food industry”. By 2025, it will have added 8 new smart agriculture application scenarios. It has collaborated with the Provincial Agricultural Research Institute to establish a smart agriculture fruit and vegetable production demonstration base. The Agricultural Mechanization Research Institute has been included in the list of national-level modern agricultural science and technology experimental bases. Zhongmao Food has been selected as a provincial-level agricultural leading enterprise.
A relevant official from Nanjing National Agricultural High-tech Zone stated that they will strengthen the promotion of industrial chain investment. Leveraging the advantages of the innovation platform, they will focus on the sub-sectors such as functional foods and food additives, accelerate the layout of the pet economy track, and strive for breakthroughs in areas like biotechnology agriculture. So far this year, 9 projects have been signed, with a total investment of 1.6 billion yuan. With the implementation of these two major projects, the agro-high-tech zone’s clustering effect in sub-sectors such as smart facility agriculture and eco-friendly cat litter has become more prominent, laying a solid foundation for the high-quality development of the region.
