On 10th August, Hubei Agricultural Development Group Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with our city. Sun Bing, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, attended the signing ceremony. Chen Ping, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor unveiled the plaque for Hubei Fishery Group. Huang Guoxiong, member of the Party Leadership Group, Deputy Director of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and Director of the Provincial Agricultural Development Centre, Zhu Wankui, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Hubei Agricultural Development Group Co., Ltd, and Xu Yanguo, Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission attended the event.
Chen Ping pointed out in his speech that Ezhou Huahu Airport was officially put into operation on 17th July, which connects Ezhou with other regions, and serves as the “port” for Hubei and even Central China to open up to the world. It can also promote our province as the modern agricultural base of China. Hubei Fishery Group was established in Ezhou in the perfect timing, and it will definitely have a promising future. Chen Ping sincerely hoped that Hubei Agricultural Development Group could be part of the agricultural modernisation process of Ezhou at a deeper and broader level. The company may start in Ezhou but hope it will later have a great impact in Hubei Province or even China and promote local produce like freshwater fishes and crabs to the rest of the world. Ezhou government will continue to provide the best support and preferential policies to enterprises so that we can work together towards a better future.
Zhu Wankui said in his speech that Hubei Agricultural Development Group and Ezhou have a solid foundation for cooperation, and Ezhou has become an important partner and key area to invest in for the company. Hubei Fisheries Group was registered and established by Hubei Agricultural Development Group in Ezhou. It will adopt modern fishery planning approaches, adhere to the principles of always putting the environment and ecology first, and scientifically utilise the resources. The company will fully utilise the rich fishery resources of Hubei, combined with modern science and technology and information technology, to build a modern fishery industry chain service provider system from the breeding of famous, native, and high-quality aquatic products to ecological aquaculture, aquatic products processing, and aquatic products trade. By doing so, we can promote the intensification, standardisation, scalability, refinement, marketisation, and branding of Hubei’s aquatic products industry. This will also help achieve the target of vitalising the rural area and developing our province through agricultural development.
At the signing ceremony, Echeng District, Huarong District, Liangzihu District, and Gedian Economic and Technological Development Zone signed cooperation agreements with Hubei Fishery Group, and all financial institutions signed bank-enterprise cooperation agreements with Hubei Fishery Group separately.
