If we talk about the most encouraging battle of our company in international layout this year, we must mention the big Russian order of 2,000 tons of liquid methionine in the spring of 2024. When the leading livestock industry in Moscow came to us, Mr. Zhang from the purchasing department called me at three in the morning and said that the Russians wanted the goods urgently and with high standards this time, and specifically asked for high-end goods such as hydroxymethionine analogs. I turned on the computer in my pajamas to check the inventory, thinking in my mind: Our Chongqing base has just passed the EU FAMI-QS certification of the fully automatic production line, and the monthly production capacity can be increased to 800 tons without any problem, but this 2,000-ton order requires all three lines to run at full capacity.

The next day, the entire technical team went to work and adjusted the antifreeze formula specifically for the minus 30 degrees transportation environment in Russia. The brothers in the logistics department were even more outrageous - they directly booked three special train containers of the China-Europe Express, and installed temperature control recorders in each container, saying that they wanted to let customers feel at ease by looking at real-time data. The most thrilling thing was the week of customs clearance. Customs suddenly required additional animal origin certificates. We translated the full chain traceability information from raw material procurement to production process into Russian and English versions within 24 hours, and even the factory inspection representative from Moscow gave us a thumbs up.

Looking back now, this deal is not just about making foreign exchange. The purchasing director of Siberia Agricultural Group came to Chongqing for inspection last month. Looking at the neatly stacked blue barrels in our factory, he was impressed and said that he did not expect such a hidden champion to be hidden in southwest China. More importantly, through this order, we lowered the export price of liquid methionine by 5% per ton, directly forcing several old suppliers in Europe to re-quote - in my opinion, these 2,000 tons shipped out are not only feed additives, but also a new business card of China's smart manufacturing.
