Shanghai Fengxian Processing Facility
is situated in Shanghai Fengxian Agriculture Development
Zone, and was built at the end of 2000. It is the model
base where Gaorong transformed the inefficient traditional
vegetable planting into modern high-tech planting and
realized agricultural industrialization. Nowadays in
Fengxian base, Gaorong grows, processes and exports
vegetables and mushrooms overseas, meanwhile undertakes
the task of supplying clean vegetables to Shanghai market,
which makes this base the leader in the supply of export
vegetables in Shanghai in the winter months.
The
Fengxian base is located in Fengxian District in Southeast
Shanghai, 45 minutes away from the Shanghai Port. The
region where the Fengxian is located has an average
annual rainfall of 1100~1300 millimeters and an average
annual accumulative sunshine time of 1800~2000 hours.
The sand soil and temperate climate provide the Fengxian
base with the ideal conditions to grow vegetables in
the winter. Gaorong introduces quality seeds from Japan,
and combines Japan's agricultural technologies with
its own planting expertise to grow broccoli, shallot,
spinach, cabbage, cauliflower and other produces in
the Fengxian base under Gaorong's principles of greenness,
environmental protection, quality and efficiency. Supply
of vegetables from the Fengxian base lasts from October
to May.
TThere
are 25,000 acres of planting fields in the Fengxian
base, including 8,000 acres of Gaorong-operating farms
and 17,000 acres of contracted farms. The Fengxian base
also has 200 green houses, a factory covering 35 acres,
processing workshops covering 450 square meters and
a refrigerated warehouse covering 4,250 square meters.
The total investment is 18 million Yuan RMB. Moreover,
the factory is equipped with a state-of-the-art pesticide
residual check instrument (Agilent 6890 series gas phase
chromatographic instrument), packaging and production
lines and vacuum precooling system imported from Japan.

In early 2003, the Fengxian base utilized
its farm resources to cultivate vegetables and grow
vegetables and fruit meeting domestic needs. So far,
in this base supply of fresh vegetables and fruit to
supermarkets in Shanghai and the surrounding areas is
well under way. In May 2003, Gaorong opened fresh food
chain stores in Shanghai and certain other cities. Gaorong's
development turned a new page and is destined to advance
into a more brilliant tomorrow.
