TRADING & DISTRIBUTION
NutryFarm trading and distribution of fresh fruits to China is an extension of our business model as we capitalises on the Group’s understanding of food certifications and connections in China.
Leveraging on the deep market experience and extensive networks of our CEO, Mr Cheng Meng, an industry veteran in the business of the plantation, trading and value-added processing of durians in Thailand, the Group has entered into sales contracts to supply fresh durians from Thailand to major Chinese fruit importers in excess of RMB 1 billion.
