I. Epidemic and natural disaster risks


The animal epidemic disease is the main risk faced in the development of
livestock industry. There are three kinds of risks arising out of the occurrence of
epidemic disease. First, the occurrence of epidemic
d
isease is likely to result in
death of livestock, and leads directly to the reduction in yield and drop in prices.
Second, the occurrence and prevalence of epidemic disease on a large scale easily
influence the consumer psychology, lead to shrinking mark
et
demand, and also
affect the feed production and operation. Third, after the outbreak of some
infectious epidemic diseases endangering the public health and safety, the
government will take lockdown and other measures to contain the spread of
epidemic di
se
ase. These epidemic containment measures will seriously hinder
the transportation of feed, animal healthcare products and live livestock, and the
workers returning to work, and have a great impact on the production and
operation of breeding industry. In
ad
dition, the outbreak of infectious epidemic
diseases will force most catering enterprises to stop doing business, some
agricultural product markets to shut down, and consumers to reduce shopping
activities outdoors, resulting in reduced meat demand and c
on
sumption. For
example, the African Swine Fever (ASF) with an enormous impact on the entire
industry broke out in 2018. As the ASF is characterized by long latency and high
mortality after onset of the disease, and the effective and reliable vaccine has n
ot
yet been developed successfully, coupled with the fact that it was also the
concentrated outbreak on a large scale in China for the first time, both the
large
-
scale breeding enterprises and small farmers lacked effective containment
measures at the onse
t
of epidemic, thereby suffering losses to varying degrees. At
the end of 2020, the attenuated
-
strain ASF bounced back once again, especially
hitting Hebei, Shandong and
Henan
, where the pace of live pig production



capacity recovery was considerably affect
ed
.


The COVID
-
19 outbreak at the beginning of 2020 also posed daunting
challenges to the livestock and poultry breeding industry in
China
. The
anti
-
epidemic measures such as lockdown, delay in return to work, suspension of
live poultry trading, and shutdo
wn
of slaughter houses led to unavailability of
feed to farms and livestock farmers, newborn livestock nowhere to sell, inability
to slaughter livestock and poultry, and difficulties to conduct breeding
production activities normally. The COVID
-
19 would al
so
force the new pig
farms of pig farming enterprises to be generally out of operation and render
farmers less motivated to restock live pigs, ultimately hindering the recovery
process of live pig production capacity.


In terms of the natural disaster risk
,
the feed and slaughter are closely
related to planting and livestock breeding industry, so the natural disasters such
as temperature anomalies, drought, flood, earthquake, hail, and snow disaster
will all adversely affect the industry operation and devel
op
ment. The natural
disasters occurring on the production bases of the company and surrounding
areas may cause substantial damages to production facilities or equipment, and
the natural disasters and extreme climate may also drive the prices of some feed
ing
redients
and meats up. For example, serious flood disasters broke out in
many places of South China in summer of 2016, adversely affecting the planting,
breeding, farm produce logistics, project implementation and meat prices along
the industry chai
n to va
rying degrees; in terms of planting, continuous
catastrophic floods hitting some areas will result in decreased output of
feed
ingredients
, thus impacting the feed
ingredient
prices, while at the same time
decreasing the quality of raw
materials; in terms
of breeding, flood might cause
pathogenic microorganisms buried in the land surrounding breeding farms to be
exposed in air and drinking water, and will result in spread of pathogenic
microorganisms and trigger epidemic diseases. In ad
dition, several provi
nces
hardest hit by the floods are major aquatic breeding areas in China, where the
impact of floods not only would destroy fishery production equipment but also is
highly likely to wash off fish
-
barring facilities and bring away fish
fries and
adult fishe
s, causing losses to economic income of farmers and thus affecting
feed
sales of the company; in terms of logistics, roads are flooded and roadbeds
and road surfaces destroyed wherever flood sweeps, forcing the freight costs of
ra
w materials, feed, finishe
d products and breeding pigs to rise and the
transport capacity down, causing pressures on the supply chain of the company;
in terms of project implementation, continuous rainstorms will also cause part
of capital investment const
ruction projects of the co
mpany to suffer temporary
shutdown, affecting the construction schedule; in terms of meat prices, flood
would also impact the meat supply and directly contributed to the rising prices
of pigs, while the gap in meat prices between
affected areas and unaffec
ted areas
was growing, thus leading to increased allocation and transport of live pigs, and



resulting in spread of the pandemic to a certain extent.


Risk countermeasures: In the face of animal epidemics, the livestock farms
planne
d and constructed by the c
ompany’s breeding base are normalized and
standardized farms staffed with professional breeding technologists and
equipped with strict anti
-
epidemic measures to effectively prevent and control
the occurrence of epidemic diseases.
The company has also summa
rized some
experience and measures responding to major epidemic diseases through years
of exploration and accumulation, which allow the company to eliminates the
impact of various epidemics by adjusting the product mix when approp
riate,
improving the produ
ct quality, conducting deep market development actively
and reducing the costs. Since 2014, the company has been guiding technicians to
better serve farmers by establishing animal healthcare laboratories in various
areas, creating
the cloud
-
based animal he
althcare system and conducting the
monitoring and warning of epidemics and diseases in real time. In particular, in
view of ASF outbreak in 2018, the company formulated all
-
round and
system
-
wide prevention and control measures, co
vering existing self
-
run p
ig
farms, fattening farms in cooperation with farmer households, new pig farms of
the company, pig feed production units and internal animal healthcare
laboratories, with a view to ensuring proper prevention and control at the sou
rce
of animal nutrition. A
t the same time, the company actively took part in industry
communication, and explored more effective prevention and control methods
together with its peers. Currently, the bio
-
safety and epidemic prevention system,
survival rate
of live pigs, go
-
to
-
marke
t rate and other indicators of the company
are among the top in the industry.


In response to the COVID
-
19, the company lost no time to react, formulated
and carried out various containment policies and conducted emergency
disposit
ion in a coordinated manne
r. Secondly, the company actively
communicates with the government at all levels, coordinates the transportation
of goods such as livestock products, and raw and auxiliary materials of feed and
products, secures vehicle passes, an
d implements the green cha
nnel policy
enacted by the government at all levels. Thirdly, the company ensures sufficient
procurement from feed plants and production supply through region
-
wide
coordination, strengthens internal support for poultry industry in
tegration,
arranges its em
ployees to return to work rapidly and orderly, contributes to the
adequate supply of daily necessities across the country, adjusts its food industry
strategy in real time and expands sales through supermarket channel and online
ch
annel. Fourthly, in light
of its business practices, the company compiled the
epidemic containment manual, published documents such as technical guidance
on employee prevention and control and quarantine and guidance on
engineering control amid epidemics,
makes the epidemic prevent
ion
arrangements in a targeted manner and strengthens employee safety protection.


In response to natural disasters, although unable to rule out the possibility



that serious natural disasters will occur in areas where its subsidiar
ies operate,
the company’s
extensive business portfolio and presense both at home and
abroad help ensure that the company’s business as a whole will not be materially
affected when natural disasters occur in particular regions. Especially for the
rainstorm
s and floods in south Chin
a, which have occurred frequently in these
years, the company has accumulated a large wealth of experience, established
proven contingency plans and maintains sufficient flood prevention supplies in
stock at all times, which allow
the company to flexibly g
uide farmers through
production plan adjustments when the flood season begins in preparation for
disaster relief together. At the same time, the company can also take the
advantage of its nationwide presence to allocate funds, raw
materials, equipment,
and
staff timely and effectively to resume production as soon as possible and
reduce the losses caused by natural disasters.


II. Risk of feed
ingredient
price fluctuations


The cost of main feed
ingredients
for feed produc
tion accounts for more
than 90% of tot
al cost of feed production. In the past, the proportion of feed
business in the company’s revenue was large, but as the feed industry generally
adopts the cost
-
plus pricing method, the fluctuations in prices of feed
ingredients
can be partly transmitted to
the downstream breeding operations, so as to
relieve the pressure from the rising prices of feed
ingredients
. However, with a
growing percentage of livestock breeding business in the company’s revenue, the
rising prices of feed
ingredients
will have a gro
wing impact on the company as a
whole.


In 2020, corn prices rose all the way from a relatively high base level,
reaching the highest point within five years driven by the successive occurrence
of pand
emic, temporary purchase and storage and typhoons, while
soybean
meal prices also rose in short term due to the reduced soybean export following
the closure of ports in response to the COVID
-
19 outbreak in South America.
Coupled with the continuous tension
between
China
and US, which brings great
uncertainties
to the bulk produce trade between the two countries and
international trade of feed
ingredients
in the future, the risk of price fluctuations
will exist in the long term. Moreover, against the b
ackground of longtime
existence of ASF in China, the feed ente
rprises will reduce some high
-
risk
raw
materials
for the safety of animal nutrition, such as usage of corn, pig blood, and
pig bone meal, so as to make the demand for raw materials co
ncentrate on other
types of raw materials, which will also lead to rise i
n prices of such alternative
raw materials.


Risk countermeasures: The company is the largest domestic feed enterprise
with the scale advantages and a considerable say in the raw mater
ial purchasing.
The company started reorganizing and optimizing its raw m
aterial procurement
system in 2017, combed through its supplier system actively, established
strategic partnerships with many domestic and overseas best
-
run raw material



suppliers, co
nducted the supply chain financing of various forms actively, and
optimiz
ed its purchasing cost and related financial expenses. In 2019, the
company continued to drive transformations in terms of central purchasing of
raw materials, strategic purchasing ch
annel optimization of partners,
acquisition of corn produced in northeast
China
and purchasing model
upgrading, realizing a greater purchasing value despite the challenges. The
COVID
-
19 crisis in 2020 has caused phase
-
wise impact on the prices of feed
ingredients
and feed additives, but the company’s feed supply chain
managemen
t department intensified application of hedging tools to control the
raw material price fluctuation risk, while the company’s technology, purchasing,
production and marketing de
partments worked closely with each other during
the response to the pandemic, w
ith these experiences already summarized and
applied into the daily operation management of the feed business.


III. Risk of price fluctuations of livestock and poultry


The fini
shed products of livestock and poultry breeding business of the
company mainly
include baby chick, baby duck, white
-
feathered chicken,
white
-
feathered duck, breeding pig, piglet, and hog. Especially since 2016, the
pig farming business of the company has b
een growing rapidly, with 8.29 million
live pigs sold
externally
in 2020 and mo
re than 500 million self
-
raised and
outsourced commercial generation chicken and ducks sold, which allowed the
livestock and poultry breeding to contribute greater to the entire
revenue and
profits of the company. Along with the further growth of breeding
volume of the
company in the future, the prices of livestock and poultry will affect the levels of
revenue and profits of the company even more remarkably.


The prices of live pi
gs, pork, breeding poultry, non
-
slaughtered chicken and
ducks and poultry meat
remained high as a whole in 2019. In 2020, the prices of
live pigs and white
-
feathered poultry bifurcated. In terms of live pigs, pig prices
bounced back and climbed gradually a
fter a rapid fall in May due to the
weakened consumer demand, leading to sustai
ned high prices as a whole. In
terms of white
-
feathered poultry,
newly
-
hatched poultry, non
-
slaughtered
chicken and ducks or poultry meat, their market prices remained low
for a long
time as a whole due to serious oversupply, coupled with the consumer dema
nd of
major channels such as wholesale markets, schools, plants and mines apparently
inhibited due to the impact of COVID
-
19, causing tremendous pressures on all
players a
long the industry chain. Since the beginning of 2021, although ASF
threats remain, re
covery of live pig production capacities across the country has
apparently manifested itself and pork demands will not change significantly in
short term, while remarkably
eased supply tensions will drive pork prices down
in a foreseeable future and the ta
ble poultry market will continue to be adjusted
due to still remarkable imbalance between demand and supply, sustaining the
great pressure on prices of table poultry.


Ris
k countermeasures: apart from the impact of sporadic epidemics, the



fluctuations in p
rices of livestock and poultry mainly depend on the periodic
increase and decrease in breeding and supply quantities. As a result, the process
of livestock and poultry pri
ces going down itself is a process of the survival of
the fittest in the industry. Ag
ainst this backdrop, the company still can generate
more revenue or suffer fewer losses than its rivals in the process of price decline
as long as it increases its breedin
g efficiency and makes its breeding costs lower
than its rivals. When some participan
ts exit, the total supply declines and the
prices rise again, the company might gain a greater market share and a higher
return on investment than before. In recent years,
the company has been
committed to continuously increasing its breeding efficiency, a
nd enjoying
industry leadership in terms of production of healthy young breeding poultry
and PSY and full cost of pig breeding, which will ensure that the company will
rem
ain highly competitive during the price fall of livestock and poultry. On the
other h
and, unlike most of agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises, the
company also has slaughtering and processing businesses downstream of
breeding industry, which happe
ns to hedge against the breeding business of the
company. The price decline of livest
ock and poultry means that the cost of raw
meat in the slaughtering and processing businesses falls too and its profit margin
will be increased, which can also ease the im
pact of price fall of livestock and
poultry on the company as a whole moderately.


IV.
Impact of environmental protection policies


In 2014,
China
started implementing the Regulations on Pollution
Prevention for Large
-
scale Breeding of Livestock and Poultr
y, as the
government was strongly determined to keep livestock farms in line and new
regulations were enacted across the country to demolish livestock farms, ban or
restrict livestock farming activities. At the level of central government, the new
“Environ
mental Protection Law” was enacted in 2015; in 2016, the State
Council issued the “13
th Five
-
Year” Ecological Environment Protection
Program”, even more specifically requiring “local governments to close or
relocate livestock farms (communities) and breedi
ng households within the
banned areas according to law by the end of 2017”. In 2018,
the first group of
central environmental protection inspectors conducted the “follow
-
up
reexaminations”, as the efforts to investigate pollution caused by livestock farms
were intensified across the country, ordering some breeding households to shut
down f
or environmental remediation or close once for all due to their livestock
farming facilities failing to meet the environmental standards or discharging
wastewater beyond t
he set standards. These pressures from the environmental
protection policies will for
ce some livestock and poultry farms failing to meet the
environmental standards to exit the market, and lead to reduced breeding
quantities, which will produce a certain i
mpact on the growth of feed business of
the company and its acquisition of live pigs
and poultry for slaughtering
business. Some branches and subsidiaries of the company fail to meet the



environmental protection requirements economically through hardware
t
ransformation, or no longer have the market basis due to being located in the
banned
areas, which will lead to their shutdown. In the long run, however, the
exit of these outdated capacities for incompliance with environmental standards
will allow the best
-
run producers that remain in the industry to acquire higher
profitability, which is
still of a positive significance to the entire industry.


Risk countermeasures: in light of the changes of the breeding market, the
company makes every effort to keep its s
tock under control, makes full use of its
industrialized supporting and integrated se
rvices by changing its feed marketing
model, and strengthens its cooperation with medium and large
-
sized farms and
farmers that meet the environmental standards. While exp
loring a new way of
breeding, the company regards ecology, environmental protection,
efficiency and
safety as primary considerations in its project design, helps farmers remodel and
build sheds and stalls that meet the higher environmental standards, incre
ase
the profitability of breeding business and actively drive the domestic livestock
and poultry farming industry to grow healthily. On the other hand, the company
actively grows its inventories by cultivating new livestock and poultry farming
bases in env
ironmentally suitable areas through construction, acquisition, joint
venture and coop
eration using its existing business portfolio across the country,
thus ensuring the stability of its breeding resources.


V. Risk of food safety


Food safety concerns the p
hysical health and life safety of the general public,
and is even a matter of life an
d death for food companies. Occurrence of food
safety problems or accidents would cause food companies to face claims, actions
or related penalties in a way that even affe
cts their brands and reputations,
thereby materially adversely affecting their busine
ss, financial condition, stock
prices or business performance. The implementation of the revised “Food Safety
Law” in of 2015 also means
China
has brought its focus on foo
d safety to an
unprecedented level. The outbreak of ASF in 2018 raised even more dema
nding
requirements for food safety control. Although the ASF itself is not a zoonotic
disease and the pork with ASF virus is not harmful at all to humans after
conventiona
l heating and cooking, as there is not yet fully effective containment
measure agains
t ASF at present, and the pork and its products are one of the
main vectors of the virus, more costs are required to prevent and control ASF
during the process of live pig
recovery and slaughter, pork transportation and
vending. In 2019, the State Council
issued the “Opinions on Deepening Reforms
and Strengthening Food Safety Efforts”, making clear the need to further beef
up food safety efforts and ensure the “safety on th
e dining table” of the general
public with ht most rigorous standards, the most strin
gent oversight, the most
severe penalties and the most serious accountability.


Risk countermeasures: the company has always been highly concerned
about food safety by ser
iously ensuring food safety in everything it does. In 2015,



the company established i
ts safety and environmental protection department to
ensure safety, health and environmental protection of its products, and
upgraded the equipment in its “three
-
level” te
sting system, expanded the
laboratories of its branches and subsidiaries in terms of
human and material
resources, guaranteed the allocation and input of funds, resources and personnel
across the food industry chain, which upgraded the food safety organiza
tion
management, equipment and facilities, process management and key process
control
.
So far, the company has created a food safety control chain from feed,
livestock and poultry breeding all the way to dining table. In 2014, the
“Beiyouzi” branded duck
meat produced by the company was the first in
China
to achieve end
-
to
-
end traceability
; in 2015, Chengdu Xiwang Food Co., Ltd, a
subsidiary of the company, became one of the second group of pilot companies
for implementation of the national standard “food
cold chain logistics
traceability management requirements”. In 2016, the company passe
d the food
technical standard certification by the British Retail Council (BRC), and was
elected the Vice President of the China Council at the first plenary session of t
he
Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) in China, becoming the first Chinese
private e
nterprise to be selected as a member of the global board of directors of
GFSI. In 2019, the 8th GFSI Focus Day China organized by the company was
held, marking the first
time a private enterprise organized this event since GFSI
began holding the Focus Day
China in 2012. At present, all food enterprises
under the flag of the company have passed China
-
HACCP certification, and
more than 60 food companies are finishing the BRC
and Global
-
GAP
certifications in succession. In addition, the company systematically
explores the
anti
biotic
-
reducing and
antibiotic
-
free
possibilities in cooperation with multiple
parties using the GFSI platform resources,
and actively drives the
popularization of
anti
biotic
-
reducing and
antibiotic
-
free
successful cases.


VI. Risk of excha
nge rate fluctuations


Currently, the global purchasing of raw materials for feed production is
going deepe
r, and the feed enterprises have been increasingly affected by the
exchange rate in terms of
feed
ingredient
purchasing centered on foreign supply
suc
h as corn, soybean, whey powder, fish meal and DDGS. At the same time, the
company has larger f
oreign operations than its Chinese peers, and in the foreign
investment and overseas operations, the cross
-
border capital transaction and
settlement amounts invo
lved are growing, thus making the company more
vulnerable to exchange rate fluctuations. Since
2019, the bumpy China
-
US
relations caused the RMB/USD exchange rate to fluctuate frequently.
Throughout 2020, the RMB exchange rate showed a trend of fall before
rise as a
whole and went down in a zigzag manner due to the impact of the COVID
-
19 in
the firs
t half of the year, but a new round of rapid appreciation started as China
was the first to contain the pandemic and resumed work and business operations
at a qu
ickened pace in the second half of the year. Such violent turbulences



produced impacts on the f
oreign exchange management of the company. Besides,
in certain overseas countries where the company operates, the exchange rate of
local currencies against USD d
epreciated remarkably due to the COVID
-
19,
political turbulence and foreign exchange policy adj
ustments, which also
produced an adverse impact on the company.


Risk countermeasures: In response to the growing needs for overseas raw
material purchasing and i
nvestment and operation, the company started
building its Singaporean branch into an overseas c
ommercial and trading center
and investment and financing center in 2016, actively conducted international
centralized purchasing of raw materials, foreign direc
t financing, supply chain
finance, foreign exchange risk management and raw materials purchasin
g risk
management on its Singaporean platform, in order to reduce the impact of
exchange rate fluctuations on its cash flow in overseas operations. Meanwhile,
th
e company further strengthened its close connection and communication with
overseas financial i
nstitutions, overseas agencies of the Chinese government and
host governments to analyze the trends of local currencies’ exchange rates in
host countries in time
and ease the adverse impact of exchange rate fluctuations
by means of direct investment in loc
al currencies abroad, etc.


VII. Risk of human resources


The risk of human resources to the company mainly involves the following
four aspects. First, the pig fa
rming scale of the company is now at a phase of
leapfrog development. As at the time of disclos
ure of this annual report, the
company’s pig farming team has exceeded 50,000 persons and will continue
growing, so will be the management radius of the company,
therefore, there are
tremendous pressures and challenges in terms of rapidly training and reta
ining
a large number of pig raisers. If the personnel recruitment, training and
retention proves inadequate, potential risks will arise for the subsequent pig
fa
rm management and operation; second, as the company transforms from a
traditional agricultural
and animal husbandry enterprise to a agricultural,
animal husbandry and food integrated enterprise, the company will face the risk
of insufficient reserve of hig
h
-
caliber operation and management personnel in
new business domains and of personnel in food r
etail, engineering technology, IT
and other emerging fields; third, along with the rising human cost, employee
compensation has become an important factor in cos
t increase of the company;
fourth, as a leading enterprise in China’s agricultural and animal h
usbandry
industry, the company has cultivated a large number of outstanding employees
in its multiyear history, but the competition for human resources is intens
ifying
due to the increasing competition in the industry and entry of new players of
different
backgrounds into the industry over the past years, meaning the brain
drain will cause losses to the company and subsequently affect the sustainable
development o
f the company.


Risk countermeasures: the company has looked at talent cultivation and



organizat
ional activation as a long
-
term strategic task of the company. In terms
of recruiting talented pig farmers, the company expanded its recruitment
channel beyond c
ollege graduates majored in agriculture and animal husbandry
to recruit non
-
specialized college
graduates and veterans. In terms of pig farmer
training, the company broke down its daily production processes according to
standards and internalized them usin
g IT means. It offers specialized courses of
different levels for general manager, farm manager
s all the way down to the
newly recruited frontline workers through in
-
house pig farming universities and
pig industry research institutes that offer high
-
freque
ncy learning, training and
teaching possibilities. Moreover, through the modern mentoring syste
m inside
pig farms and one
-
to
-
one mentoring and intensification by sophisticated
employees, the time to cultivate new employees has been greatly shortened. The
c
ompany further perfected its pig industry talent motivation system, whereby
personnel at all le
vels in pig industry will receive industry
-
leading economic
return based on their value output. In addition, in order to reduce the pressure
on human cost, the c
ompany intensified its efforts to carry out projects such as
pig farming in multistory building
s, intelligent pig farms and things of internet,
which will significantly increase its efficiency of personnel utilization.


The company also intensified its effo
rts to recruit talented people in
strategic, new businesses, while actively conducting cross
-
in
dustry training and
learning to enrich the knowledge structure and capability structure of its
existing personnel. The company realized a continuous increase in
per capita
efficiency by efficiency improvement, lean management, optimization of
industry chai
n design and organization flattening; created the professional
manager development channel with survival of the fittest by constructing the
competition, selectio
n and elimination mechanisms; and creates the growth
community of employees and the company by
constructing reasonable
evaluation and incentive mechanisms and value sharing mechanisms. In 2019,
the company implemented its restricted stock and stock option
incentive plan for
the first time to motivate its key technologists and key members of pig farm
ing
teams more for increased cohesion and corporate competiveness and to fully
motivate senior management personnel a
s
part of key employees of the company
at wo
rk.


In 2021, the company has huge financial requirements for its investment
and daily operati
ons such that retaining the undistributed profits to meet the
company’s daily operation and investment and construction needs will help the
company ensure normal
production operations and stable development, become
more resistant to risks, achieve continuo
us, stable and healthy business
development and better protect the long
-
term interests of all shareholders.
Based on the aforesaid considerations, the group’s ann
ual profit distribution
plan for 2020 is proposed as follows: the company plans not to distrib
ute cash
dividends or allot bonus shares or transfer its provident fund to share capital



but carry over undistributed profits to the next year


Meanwhile, accordi
ng to the “Implementing Rules of Shenzhen Stock
Exchange For Repurchase of Shares by Listed Co
mpanies”, the share
repurchase amount of 195,409,629.71 Yuan already implemented by the
company in 2020 is treated as cash dividends, accounting for 3.95% of
4,94
4,191,027.81 Yuan net profits of the company attributable to shareholders of
the listed compan
y in 2020. The profits distributed accumulatively by the
company in cash in the most recent three years accounted for 36.29% of the
average annual distributable p
rofits realized in the most recent three years.
