1. Based on industrialized operations, continuously expand the scale and enhance the potential for enterprise development
Longda Group converted from a town-run brick and tile factory in the mid-1980s and chose the food processing and export industry. As soon as the industry flourishes, the company will gradually become bigger and stronger. Over the past seventeen years, Longda has relied on the advantages of local agricultural and sideline product resources, using vegetable processing and export as a chain, organically linking scattered raw material production and large markets, forming a leading enterprise leading enterprises, enterprises leading bases, bases leading processing, and processing leading farmers. type industrial system, and has embarked on a successful path to agricultural industrialization management. From the early days of fruit and vegetable preservation, rough processing, and single industry, to today's fine and deep processing, multiple varieties coexist, and multiple industries are developed simultaneously, extending the industrial chain, broadening the industrial field, increasing the economic benefits of the enterprise, and promoting the company's long-term development .
In order to build the enterprise into an "aircraft carrier" in the food processing industry, since the "Ninth Five-Year Plan", Longda has further increased the scale of investment and accelerated the pace of development, focusing on prepared food processing and technological supporting transformation. Specialize in food processing, promote diversification of business projects, and vigorously adjust industry and product structure. In the past few years, Longda has invested a total of more than 700 million yuan, and has successively introduced production and processing equipment with the international leading level in the 1990s from Japan, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries and regions. The largest pig breeding, pig breeding, slaughtering, and meat processing base in Jiaodong with first-class facilities has been built; a new peanut oil production project has been launched; a 5,000-ton air-conditioned warehouse has been built to bring the preservation technology to the world's first-class level; a joint venture with Japanese businessmen, It has newly built large-scale domestic first-class standard prepared food professional processing plants - Shandong Shenlong Food Co., Ltd. and Shandong Rilong Food Co., Ltd.; cooperated with Japanese businessmen to establish the most advanced domestic aquatic product processing and export professional enterprise - Yantai Long SHIANG FOODS LIMITED.

The establishment of these subsidiaries has opened up new economic growth points for Longda, effectively expanded the company's production capacity, and enriched the company's production structure.
In order to further accelerate the company's scale development, Longda gave full play to its own advantages and took the road of asset restructuring and low-cost expansion. Since 1995, it has successively merged and leased 15 companies across regions and ownership systems in Laiyang, Haiyang, Zhaoyuan, Heze, Tai'an and other places, absorbing more than 1,000 laid-off workers, and revitalizing idle assets of more than 100 million yuan, which is both effective and It effectively reduces the burden on the country and society, and enhances the hematopoietic function, forming the scale advantage of the "joint fleet" and enhancing the development potential of the group company.
2. Relying on standardized production, constantly upgrading and upgrading, and improving corporate competitiveness
For many years, Longda has always implemented standardized production, consciously integrated corporate standards with international standards, and led thousands of companies to Thousands of farmers have entered the international market. As early as the early 1990s, Longda established a seed company to introduce foreign vegetable seeds and planting technologies, vigorously promote standardized planting, and teach farmers to grow "foreign" vegetables so that the nutritional composition and specifications of each vegetable fully meet foreign requirements. , which not only improves the quality of raw materials for export products, but also more effectively promotes the renewal of local vegetable varieties and the improvement of planting technology. Since 1993, on the basis of processing frozen vegetables, Longda has vigorously developed prepared foods with high scientific and technological content and exquisite cooking art in accordance with the characteristics of Japanese people who pay attention to food nutrition and dietary structure, and with reference to Japanese standards. The product's physical and chemical indicators, nutritional indicators, and bacterial count indicators are impeccable for Japanese businesses. It has entered Japanese supermarkets directly and is deeply loved by Japanese people. It has become Longda's flagship product for exporting and earning foreign exchange.
In the past two years, facing the severe challenges of "green barriers" in developed countries such as Japan, Longda has put the quality of raw materials in a crucial position and established a "company + farm (breeding farm) + agriculture" The new industrialization model of "workers" focuses on the "two sources" of vegetable planting and pig breeding.
In terms of vegetables, we have established more than 10,000 acres of pesticide residue reduction bases in 6 provinces and autonomous regions across the country, established a base tracking management system, and developed it on a rolling basis, building a planting and processing chain in which enterprises and growers work closely together; in terms of pigs, we focus on our own Fully closed management of 3 large-scale high-standard pig farms, and the development of 11 "five unifications" (unified seed supply, unified feeding, unified management, unified quarantine and epidemic prevention, and unified sales) contract pig farms, which can provide high-quality pigs every year 300,000 head, meeting the current needs of Longda meat processing and export.

In the future, Longda will further increase the development of organic food, gradually transform Longda's series of foods into organic foods, accelerate the pace of product upgrading, and enhance the company's sustainable development capabilities.
In order to further improve its ability to participate in international market competition, Longda actively carries out international operation and management standard implementation certification activities. At present, all key subordinate enterprises have obtained international and domestic certifications such as ISO9000 and HACCP. At the same time, it obtained the American AIB certification and obtained the "pass" for Longda frozen vegetables to enter the American market. Longda Meat Processing Plant has passed McDonald's Animal Welfare Certification, becoming the company's best raw material supplier in China, and has been approved by Russia's official registered product export certification, further opening up the channel for products to enter the international market.

So far, it has established 35 offices across the country and opened more than 200 specialty stores and supermarket chains in Shandong Province. At present, Longda has regarded the production and sales of vermicelli, meat products, and supermarket development and operation as pillar industries of domestic trade, and has carried out key support and cultivation to fully activate the domestic marketing of Longda Food. In addition, the focus of market development is to take the instant prepared vermicelli - New Mapo Vermicelli, and use new products to drive the market sales of old products; gradually expand and strengthen the meat industry, and expand Longda meat specialty stores in the existing provinces and the three northeastern provinces. On the basis of , it radiates to other provinces; selectively introduces frozen prepared foods to the domestic market to meet the needs of high-level consumers; continuously improves the operating level of Longda Supermarket and realizes the transformation from small and medium-sized chain stores to hypermarkets.
