Vice mayor of Tianjin Ren Xuefeng met Zeng Liying and her associates.

     Zeng Liying visited the Phase II fractionation and refining plant and the Phase IV small packaged oil plant in Tianjin Longwit Oils and Grains Industrial Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Julong Group. She learned in detail about the technological process of palm oil production such as crushing, fractionation and refining as well as the warehousing, logistics and marketing of refined oil products.

     In the colloquium, chairman of Julong Group Yang Xuejiang gave an account of the current situation, opportunities and challenges in Julong’s domestic and overseas undertaking development, and raised his proposal on accelerating “going out” development. Julong Group is now the largest private palm oil enterprise with a whole industrial chain. Responding to the state’s call of “going out”, Julong went to Indonesia to develop palm oil plantations in 2006. Now in Indonesia we own land available for oil palm planting with a total area of 130,000 hectares, of which we have cultivated 50,000 hectares, with a predicted increase to 80,000 hectares by the end of this year. In the next few years, Julong will continue to expand the planting land in Indonesia and gradually extend the business to Africa.

     Zeng Liying pointed out that oils and grains enterprises’ “going out” development strategy is beneficial to the nation and the enterprises themselves. The result of Julong Group’s “going out” is hard-earned. Julong Group should seize the historic opportunities brought by the 3rd Plenary Session of 18th CPC Central Committee, and with the spirit of reform and innovation and driven by the unflinching will, Julong should strengthen the cooperation with state-owned capital, broaden the financing channel and optimize the internal management to accelerate “going out” development and make a further contribution to more say and pricing rights of our country in the international oils and grains market.

     During the visit, vice mayor of Tianjin Ren Xuefeng met Zeng Liying and her associates. He pointed out that Tianjin’s oils and grains enterprises take the geo-advantage, represented by Julong Group, to launch the project of “going out” development, which had made some achievements, but these enterprises also face problems such as financing, high tax and lack of capacity to make further development. Ren Xuefeng said that the State Administration of Grain and Tianjin municipal government can take Julong as an example to analyze the typical problems and strengthen the interaction of the central government and local governments so that they can jointly study the supporting policies to promote oils and grains enterprises’ “going out” development.

     Zeng Liying pointed out that the implementation of “going out’’ strategy not only meets the needs of the development of oil and grains enterprises, but also makes use of international market, sustain the development of grain industry and safeguard the grain safety. The pioneering enterprises like Julong Group had acquired good results. State Administration of Grain will study the bottleneck problems facing the oils and grains enterprises and coordinate with the relevant departments to complete the supportive policies and measures.
