Bright Food welcomed a delegation from US-based Joe Jurglelewicz & Son on the morning of January 8. Mr. Cui Zhiren, chairman of the board of supervisors of the Group, and Mr. Zhang Hanqiang, vice president of the Group, met the guests at Group headquarters. They were accompanied by chiefs of the Group’s agricultural division and general office, and leaders of Shanghai Dairy Group.
Joe Jurglelewicz & Son Ltd. is an 80-year-old family enterprise engaged in breeding and processing of meat duck. Most of its products in the US go to Chinese consumers and the enterprise has fairly good understanding of Chinese tastes and needs. It is capable of providing 80,000 ducks a week, and four million ducks a year. It wishes to learn about cooperation possibilities in duck breeding and achieve win-win by relying on each other’s advantages.
Mr. Cui welcomed the guests, and expressed wish for cooperation. He hoped that Joe Jurglelewicz & Son can introduce into China its technological and managerial expertise and develop duck breeding together.
Mr. Zhang briefed the guests on Group conditions, especially its modern agriculture division. He said that China and the US can well benefit from each other in agriculture, as the US is strong in farm management, scale, and productivity, while China has large markets and consumer groups. It must be studied that how China would solve the shortage of agricultural products through global distribution. He hoped that Joe Jurglelewicz & Son may serve as a bridge and further communicate with the Group, so as to help boost duck breeding. He also hoped that the weeklong visit might lead to cooperation intentions and relationships for mutual development.
The delegation would also visit the Heilongjiang Herun Food Co., Ltd under Shanghai Dairy Group and Daying Food Co., Ltd. under Shanghai Chang Jiang Corp., and learn about existing shop channels of the Group.
