Shanghai Bright Dairy to Build Largest Cow Farm in China

Shanghai Bright Dairy & Food Co., Ltd. will invest RMB 150 million (around US$18 million) to construct China's largest and most sophisticated cow farm in the Modern Agricultural Park of Jinshan.

The project will be built on a 500 mu area (approx. 33 hectares), with a farming capacity of 5,000 cows. The company has engaged Israeli experts to design and plan the project. Proposals for the peripheral roads and bridges have been completed, and construction will start soon. The project is listed as a key municipal high-tech agricultural project for the year 2005, which will also become a highlight at the World Dairy Expo to be held in Shanghai in 2006. The farm will be able to produce 100 tons of fresh milk per day when it is completed.

Jinshan Modern Agriculture Park is one of 9 major agricultural parks in Shanghai. Ever since its inception, the district government has taken ambitious steps to enhance the services and facilities in order to attract more investments. Shanghai Bright Dairy & Food Co., Ltd. is a national leader of industrialized agricultural operations, and is also one of the country's largest dairy companies.
