Jiangxia Agriculture Group focuses primarily on the investment and development of agriculture, agricultural infrastructure construction, municipal engineering construction and social and economic consulting services. As an important platform of infrastructure investment and construction in Jiangxia District, Jiangxia Agriculture Group has received substantial support by means of multiple asset injections and fund appropriations from the Jiangxia District Government in recent years. Those support measures have increased the asset scale of Jiangxia Agriculture Group, improved its financing capabilities and provided sufficient funding sources for its business development.

The successful issuance of the bonds represents Jiangxia Agriculture Group’s reappearance in the international capital market after issuing overseas bonds in 2019 and 2020, which also demonstrates its good international credit and further enhances its international reputation and influence.
