A draft Guangzhou grain security 15th Five-Year Plan, opened for public comment,
calls for scaling leading grain firms. The city will support strong state-owned
backbone grain companies and selected private leaders as 'chain leaders' to
build an integrated large–medium–small grain industry ecosystem and guide them
to scale. The plan aims to cultivate 2–3 full-industry-chain grain groups with
annual revenue exceeds 5 billion yuan. It also seeks stronger central–local
cooperation, promoting comprehensive ties between Guangzhou grain firms and
central SOEs including COFCO, China Grain Reserves (Sinograin) and Beidahuang
across procurement, storage, processing, logistics and sales.
