ZhangYuxi: Agriculture As the Most Significant Thing

In Beijing, the mention of high technology will def initely remind people of Zhongguancun, just as Xinfadi will come to one’s mind when agricultural wholesale market is concerned. Located in the southern suburb of Beijing, Xinfadi Agricultural Wholesale Market is the biggest agricultural wholesale market in Beijing and one of the largest in China. Xinfadi accommodates a large number of farmers and dealers. Currently, the market is so prosperous that you may f ind it hard to imagine that it was once a small and poorly equipped agricultural market with merely 150,000 yuan of starting fund, 15 mu of area, and 15 working staff. It is Zhang Yuxi who brings such business miracle into reality. As a steadfast practitioner of food safety law, Mr. Zhang is currently the leader of Xinfadi. Mr. Zhang has firm belief in "agriculture as the most significant thing". In his understanding, China has been an agricultural country since the ancient times and agriculture is a business that matters most. He says that as the largest agricultural wholesale market for 6 consecutive years in China, Xinfadi should strive to include various products from around the country, and even from around the world. That’s why they choose the slogan.
