Incorporating the existing experience and demands for future development, we shall consider how to let Tongwei’s technological strength take the lead in China’s feed, aquaculture and the emerging PV sectors. By concerted effort, we can make genuine healthy safe high quality aquatic products, guide consumers to cultivate healthy consumption habits, and form healthy food structure. We believe the pursuit of the dream will come true that in future water environment for aquaculture is bound to improve. There will be blue sky and clear waters again. This is the goal that Tongwei has been relentlessly pursuing.
