Since the start of this year, the group has taken the initiative to connect with key grain enterprises, adhering to the principle of promoting cooperation through opening-up and strengthening the industry through cooperation, striving to consolidate the foundation of food security and inject impetus into regional development.

Anhui Grain Industry Group, as a key enterprise undertaking the province’s grain security task, has been committed to integrating resources, expanding cooperation and upgrading the industrial chain, making positive contributions to the high-quality development of the grain industry.

Focusing on boosting the revitalization of Northern Anhui, the group has leveraged the region’s advantages in grain resources, conducting in-depth negotiations and cooperation with major grain-producing counties such as Huaiyuan and Mengcheng.

To strengthen multi-party coordination, Anhui Grain Industry Group has established a regular communication and cooperation mechanism with China Railway No.4 Engineering Group.

Anhui Grain Industry Group has seized this opportunity, focusing on project implementation to deepen cooperation with counterparts in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Taking major platforms and key activities as the starting point, the group has strengthened cooperation and exchanges with Shanghai Agricultural Development Group, Jiangsu Grain Group and Zhejiang Grain Group, formulated an emergency supply guarantee cooperation plan for the Yangtze River Delta region, and accelerated the signing of strategic cooperation agreements. It has continuously promoted the construction of grain industrialization platforms, conducting in-depth negotiations with leading grain industrial enterprises in Huoqiu, Huaining and other places.

Moreover, the group is further optimizing the layout of grain depots, actively striving for the centralized management of provincial grain reserves, and continuously improving its food security guarantee capacity and core industrial competitiveness. Through a series of pragmatic measures, Anhui Grain Industry Group has not only consolidated its position in the grain industry but also played an important role in serving national food security strategies and promoting regional coordinated development.
