, are able to offer RTC and RTE products of competitive prices in markets like North America and Europe despite the additional logistic expenses. Thus, Chinese companies that are actively seeking international expansion opportunities are well positioned to further gain share in the global RTC and RTE market. Moreover, around the globe, the public has been paying more attention to environmental and natural resources protection over the past decades. Compared to foreign brands, domestic Chinese brands pay more attention to the recipe R&D and introduce various plant -basedmeat food products into the market, covering from Western cuisine to Chinese cuisine, including but not limited to Panini, pizza, hamburgers, braised rice, pies, noodles, and other products to cater consumers. The processed volume of soybean protein and pea protein in China contributes nearly half of the global volume every year, which provides a significant advantage in raw materials for Chinese plant -basedmeat food products companies. In view of the above and to the extent permitted by operational performance, we may raise funds from investors for strategic expansion of our business in the U.S. and Southeast Asia with a goal of achieving expense efficiencies and widening our customer base. For the U.S., we have devised a three -foldstrategy: (1) to launch our products through major Asian -focusedonline and offline sales channels, (2) to launch our direct -to -consumerstores on Amazon and our U.S. website, and (3) to grow through acquisitions. Since July 2022, we have successfully gained access to the U.S. market through sales on Yamibuy.com, one of the largest Asia food e -commerceplatforms headquartered in the U.S. In May 2023, we entered into a purchase agreement to acquire “Nona Lim”, an Asian food brand based in San Francisco, USA. The brand sells Ready -To -CookAsian noodle meal kits and a variety of soup bases to its customers through an established distribution network in the United States, including major retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Target, and Kroger. The acquisition of Nona Lim was completed in July 2023. This acquisition enables us to expand our customer base into the US market. As for the Southeast Asian market, we are currently negotiating with local companies that would give us instant access to a growing customer base in the RTC and RTE meal markets. Enhance our sales and marketing capabilities, as well as our sphere of influence We will continue to monitor the performance of our e -commercepartners and platforms, adapt our product pricing strategy and offerings, and expand
