Focusing on dairy cattle farming and dairy production and marketing, Nantong Hongmei Dairy Co Ltd – which is based in the Gangzha Economic Development Zone, or GZEDZ – is reportedly in a healthy state and is expanding.

The GZEDZ is located in the Chongchuan district of Nantong city in East China's Jiangsu province and the company is the only liquid fresh milk manufacturer with a production license in the metropolis.

In the first half of 2021, Hongmei Dairy's production was worth more than 21 million yuan ($3.25 million), up 27.3 percent on the previous year.

With its equipment for ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization and aseptic filling – and its modern production lines for glass-bottled yogurts and soft-packaged milk – Hongmei Dairy has a designed production capacity of 150 tons per day.

The company has established dairy farming bases in the Jiangyan district of the prefecture-level city of Taizhou in Jiangsu province – as well as in Taixing city, administered by Taizhou too – where it introduced herds of pure-bred overseas Holstein and Jersey cattle.

At them, it has over 2,000 dairy cattle and 5,000 mu (333 hectares) of land for fodder planting.
