Qiu Xinhang, Chairman of Henan Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port Co., Ltd.
Dear Chairman Li Shuilong, distinguished leaders, dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen:
Good evening, everyone!
Today, the China International Meat Industry Week – Business Bridge and the 2018 China (Shanghai) International Meat Trade Fair are being held with great enthusiasm here. On behalf of Henan Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port Co., Ltd., I would like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt gratitude to all the distinguished leaders and esteemed guests attending tonight’s “Zhongyuan Four Seasons Night” gala dinner.
The Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port, located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, is the largest wholesale logistics center for meat and seafood products in China's central and western regions. It also serves as a key strategic node within the country’s Belt and Road Initiative, specializing in cold-chain logistics. Leveraging its unique geographic advantages and strategic positioning, the port acts as a vital link—connecting eastern and western markets while seamlessly linking northern and southern regions. Its products now reach over 20 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions across China. High-quality meat and seafood from around the globe are efficiently distributed through a multi-modal cold-chain network that includes maritime, rail, road, and air transport. Currently, the company boasts a state-of-the-art cold-storage facility with a capacity of 250,000 tons—but even this falls short of meeting market demand. To address this, the company is actively expanding Phase IV, adding another 70,000-ton cold-storage facility. Today, the market hosts more than 1,500 operating businesses and over 30 established logistics enterprises. Annually, the market handles over 4 million tons of meat and seafood products, generating nearly 80 billion yuan in trade value and contributing more than 200 million yuan in additional profits and taxes. As a result, it has become a pivotal hub driving the growth of Henan Province’s meat industry economy, significantly enriching Chinese consumers’ dining tables and elevating their living standards to unprecedented heights. Looking ahead, the Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port is intensifying its efforts to build a robust cold-chain logistics supply chain and a comprehensive, fully integrated information platform. By pioneering innovative cold-chain logistics models and continuously upgrading cold-chain technologies and digital capabilities, the port aims to propel the meat and seafood industry toward higher-level, premium-quality development in the cold-chain sector.
Over the past two years, Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port has established a comprehensive development strategy, enabling it to both attract external investment and expand globally. Tianjin Jinsanguo Logistics Co., Ltd. represents a proactive step in our "invite in, go out" initiative. In 2016, the company successfully acquired Tianjin Jinsan International Logistics Co., Ltd., leveraging the latter’s strategic location near the central fishing port and Tianjin’s key maritime gateway to foster international trade in meat products. Today, Jinsan International’s 50,000-ton cold storage facility has been officially approved by the Tianjin Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau of China as an integrated inspection and storage hub for both meat and aquatic products, significantly enhancing the company’s global influence and market competitiveness to new heights.
This International Meat Industry Week—Business Bridge & Meat Trade Fair is a grand gathering bringing together China's leading meat enterprises and their international partners. It serves as a vital platform for collaboratively discussing growth strategies and exploring win-win opportunities for mutual success. The event has attracted industry luminaries from around the globe, creating limitless business prospects and yielding remarkable achievements. At Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port, we seize this opportunity to join forces with industry peers in fostering extensive exchanges and cooperation in global meat trade. Together, we aim to actively integrate into the evolving new order of international trade, contributing our part to the faster and more robust development of China’s meat trade on the global stage.
Friends, Henan Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port has opened its doors with a welcoming and inclusive spirit, actively engaging in global meat trade—buying from around the world and selling across China. We encourage industry partners to come to Zhongyuan Four Seasons Aquatic Product Logistics Port to explore business collaborations, invest in promising ventures, and achieve mutual success.
Thank you, everyone!
