- Sino Agro Food, Inc. (SIAF) operates as an agriculture technology and natural food holding company focused on developing, producing, and distributing high-margin organic foods, proteins, and agricultural products in the People's Republic of China. The company conducts its operations through key divisions including Fishery Development, which provides engineering, technology, consulting services for fishery farm management, technology transfers, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) for sustainable production of seafood such as fish, eels, prawns, and giant freshwater prawns, and seafood sales and marketing; HU Plantation, which wholesales and retails dried and fresh dragon fruit flowers (Hylocereus undatus), dried crops of vegetables, and immortal vegetables; Organic Fertilizer and Bread Grass, which manufactures and sells organic fertilizers, eco-friendly biodegradable fertilizers, organic farming solutions, and sustainable agriculture consulting; and Cattle Farm Development, which operates cattle farms producing over 60 cuts of beef and lamb, sells live cattle to third-party wholesalers, and manufactures bulk and concentrated livestock feed. Headquartered in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, at China Shine Plaza, Room 3520, Block A, the company was founded in 1974 by Yip Kun Lee, formerly known as A Power Agro Agriculture Development, Inc. prior to its name change in December 2007, and primarily serves China's rising middle class with gourmet, high-quality, chemical-free products through vertically integrated farm-to-table approaches targeting wholesale, retail, and institutional customers in the PRC. Recent developments include announcements of strategic partnerships to advance aquaculture techniques, such as a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with CibusDx for co-developing a rapid disease detection device, alongside ongoing emphases on eco-friendly expansions in organic fertilizers and sustainable farming services as highlighted on its current web presence, while certain international operations like those with Sino Agro Food Sweden AB were discontinued as of December 2019.
