Our Industry

We compete primarily in the
convenient meal solutions market providing RTE, RTC and RTH products to our customers. With (i) the proliferation of food delivery
service options, (ii) a shift in customer preference and behavior away from home-cooked to convenience, and (iii) an increase
in GDP per capita/overall disposable income (both in our target demographic and in-general) the demand for convenient meal solution products
including RTC/RTE products has increased significantly. Customers have also become more discerning and expect RTC/RTH/RTE products to
be of a high quality, have a higher nutritional value, and taste better when compared with other processed or semi-processed food
product categories. Typically, RTC and RTE meals are made using high-quality and seasonal ingredients with full traceability at every
stage of the food chain and a focus on nutritional value and maintaining a balanced diet is factored into the recipe and product R& D
process.

Internationally, an increasing
number of customers are in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle and favor healthier ready-to-cook products instead of RTC products of
high calories as well as healthier ready-to-eat products instead of junk food. Chinese companies in the RTC and RTE industry, because
of their well-established value chains, 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 gain share in the global RTC and RTE market.
