Lydodo Holds Successful Industry Exchange Meeting with Kazakh Farm Owners’ Delegation
As spring returns to the shores of Taihu Lake, a new chapter of Silk Road cooperation unfolds. On March 6, IBI Lydodo Yangtze River Delta Digital Economy Headquarters welcomed an important delegation of farm owners from Kazakhstan.
More than ten farm owners and representatives from Kazakhstan’s agricultural sector gathered with Chinese industry representatives at the IBI Yangtze River Delta Digital Economy Headquarters. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on agricultural cultivation, edible oil processing, cross-border supply chains, and digital agriculture, jointly envisioning a new blueprint for China–Kazakhstan agricultural cooperation.
The delegation first visited the digital exhibition hall of the Yangtze River Delta Digital Economy Headquarters, where they learned in detail about IBI’s latest achievements in industrial internet, digital supply chains, and agricultural big data. The delegation then proceeded to the conference room for further discussions. The meeting was chaired by Hu Liang, Director of Public Affairs of the Strategic Development Department of Lydodo.
First, Yao Xueqiang, Vice President of Lydodo, delivered a welcome address on behalf of the host and provided a systematic introduction to Lydodo’s operational model and business layout in China.
The Kazakh representatives then presented a comprehensive overview of the current development of agricultural cultivation and processing in Kazakhstan.
During the subsequent thematic sharing session, Ma Li, General Manager of Dalian Luyao International Trade Co., Ltd., delivered an in-depth analysis of China’s domestic market for imported rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, and oilseed meals.
Zhang Junli, General Manager for the Central Asia Region of Henan Huatai Cereals and Oils Machinery Co., Ltd., introduced the technological advantages and application cases of domestic sunflower seed and rapeseed crushing equipment.
During the exchange, Xu Li, Director of the GAPS Department of Lydodo, noted that the GAPS platform, positioned around the concept of “direct sourcing from origin countries and two-way empowerment,” serves as an efficient channel connecting high-quality global agricultural products with the Chinese market.
In his concluding remarks, Yao Xueqiang stated that the IBI Yangtze River Delta Digital Economy Headquarters, based in Wuxi and radiating across the Yangtze River Delta while serving the entire country and connecting industries worldwide, is committed to becoming a regional trading center, innovation laboratory, and talent incubation base.
He added that Lydodo will take this exchange as an opportunity to fully leverage the strengths of the GAPS system, establish a regular cooperation mechanism with Kazakh farm owners and industry partners, and jointly explore new models of agricultural cooperation under the Digital Silk Road, contributing to China–Kazakhstan capacity cooperation and the high-quality development of the agricultural industry.
Following the discussion session, members of the Kazakh farm owners’ delegation and Chinese industry representatives held lively exchanges on specific cooperation opportunities. From raw material procurement standards to logistics solutions, from processing technology cooperation to digital platform development, the two sides reached preliminary consensus in several potential areas of cooperation.
The visit of the Kazakh farm owners’ delegation marks an important step for Lydodo in deepening its presence in Central Asia and expanding the global agricultural industry chain. Seizing the dual opportunities of the Belt and Road Initiative and China’s Digital China strategy, Lydodo will continue to uphold its philosophy of “serving industries and creating value.” Through digital technologies, it will empower the global agricultural value chain and promote the development of an open, inclusive, mutually beneficial global agricultural ecosystem, writing a new chapter in China–Kazakhstan agricultural cooperation.
