Mr. Frank Ning never stops reading and thinking. He always finds and thinks about business questions. He steered China Resources (Holdings) Co., Ltd. smoothly out of the financial crisis.

Now they are consuming more and more meat, eggs, milk, chicken and fish which consume half of China’s grain production. The industry chain is extended. Food safety is concern. The whole industry chain strategy is the quality management and traceability system based on the whole process from farmland to dining table.
