An investment forum for listed food companies was held in Xinghua, Jiangsu province, on Sept 18, bringing together executives, experts and investors to explore opportunities in the health food industry.
Shao Jianfeng, mayor of Xinghua, said the county-level city has ample food ingredients, a solid industrial base, and a supportive business environment to nurture this industry. He encouraged local firms to work with leading players, expand cooperation, and continue to build their brands.
He also expressed hope that listed companies would bring their technology, management experience and marketing channels to Xinghua, and that more projects would be launched and major brands would establish a presence in the city.
Gao Yumei, deputy president of Securities Times, suggested Xinghua use the capital market to develop leading food companies. He said the newspaper would help more investors learn about the city.
At the event, a food industry exchange base jointly established by Securities Times and the Xinghua Economic Development Zone was unveiled.
