Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited 2022 Annual Report April 2023 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited Section I. Important Notes, Table of Contents and Definitions The board of directors (the "Board"), the supervisory committee, the directors, the supervisors and the senior management of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited (the "Company") hereby warrant the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the information presented in this report, guarantee that there are no misrepresentations, misleading statements or material omissions contained in this annual report, and are individually and collectively responsible for the authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the information contained in this report. Mr. Hua Xue, head of the Company, and Mr. Shaolin Yang, head in charge of accounting work and head of the accounting department (Accounting Officer), declare that they warrant the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the financial statements in the annual report. All directors were present in person at the Board meeting to consider and approve this annual report. 1. Periodical Fluctuations of Feed Industry due to Abnormal Weather Changes The feed industry is mainly served for the downstream animal industry. The abnormal changes including extreme high or low temperature, storm, typhoons et al during the breeding production, and even large-scale outbreaks of diseases which may lead to fluctuations of the inventory of livestock or aquatic products. For example, the continuous high temperature weather in this year was followed by the rise of water temperature to exceed the appropriate growth temperature of aquatic products, leading to the decrease of dissolved oxygen saturation in the water, and the reduced intake of aquatic animals and passively reduced feeding. Some aquatic products cannot adapt to the rise of temperature or even die, therefore affecting short-term feed demand and there are adverse effects on the production and operation of feed enterprises. Risk control methods include two aspects: (1) The company is currently fully deploying manufacturers and local markets in major areas in Southern China, Central China, Eastern China and Northern China and overseas markets in Southeast Asia. The expansion of regional distribution can effectively decrease the risk of weather anomalies and natural disasters in local areas. (2) Continuously improving the supports to farmers through the joint empowerment of feed, seedlings, and animal healthcare, providing scientific breeding plans and individual services from company’s technical personnel to enhance the risk 1 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited resistance and competitiveness of farmers and reduce the adverse effects of abnormal weather. 2. Risks of company's production and operation due to the outbreak of epidemic diseases With the environmental changes and the development of large-scale breeding, animal epidemic diseases also occur from time to time, for instance, African swine fever had broken out across China since August 2018 and PRRSV-mediated pig diseases, shrimp-relevant EMS epidemic diseases and poultry-relevant “H7N9” diseases occurred cross country in recent years. The scale of animal production shrinks because of the outbreak of animal epidemic diseases, following the reduced demand for feed in the short term. The prevalence of major animal diseases can also easily affect consumers’ purchase intention, and then reduce the demand of end-consumers, leading to the downturn of the aquaculture and feed industry, giving rise to adverse effects on the production and operation of feed enterprises. Risk control methods include two aspects: (1) The feed products cover the feeds of pig, chicken, duck, goose, fish, shrimp and other livestock and aquatic feeds. The variety of products and the well-balanced structure can effectively mitigate the risk of single species disease with strong comprehensive risk-relieve capability. (2) The company has established the strict epidemic prevention and control system in the production of feed products, utilizing the disease prevention and control from the source with technological advantages and professional capabilities. 3. Risk of Drastic Price Fluctuations of Major Ingredient Materials The feed ingredients consist of staple agricultural products including corn and soybeans (soybean meal) et al. In recent years, the domestic and international markets of agricultural product have been closely connected. There were great fluctuations in prices of agricultural products due to the change of the size in the planting area and the harvest amount in these major grain-producing countries, the purchasing and storage and subsidy policies, the import and export policies, the political conflicts between countries, the international trade relations, the fluctuations in logistics capacity and conditions of shipping and the exchange rates, bringing certain impact on the cost of feed and animal industry. With the strengthening of the international trade of agricultural products, the factors affecting the prices of agricultural products have become more complicated, and the price fluctuations therefore increased. Failing to understand the changes in the trade of feed raw materials in time and promptly implement strategic management, the company may face the risk of rising procurement costs. 2 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited Risk control methods include three aspects: (1) The materials were divided into different categories including centralized purchasing staple category and local procurement of regional varieties category. It not only guarantees the advantages of large-scale raw material procurement, but also makes best use of localization advantages from rapid response in respect of regional procurement. (2) The raw material procurement research system was continuously invested and constructed. The members of team are professional and familiar with raw material information. It can effectively control the procurement risk through real-time tracking, investigating, and judging the market trend in domestic and foreign bulk raw material, and manage the position risk of bulk raw materials through futures hedging, raw materials trade and other tools. (3) The company has strong research and development (R&D) team composed of nearly 2,000 employees with extensive experience in research on animal nutrition and feed formulation. A large amount of fund was invested on research and development each year, focusing on animal nutrition requirements, feed formulation technology, animal farming and genetic improvement, comprehensive investigation on healthy breeding strategies, and other research areas. The formula can be quickly adjusted to guarantee feed nutrient level and control the costs in copying with material price fluctuations based on the profound understanding of animal nutritional requirements and the expertise in making best use of raw materials. 4. Risk of Environmental Protection Laws and Policies on the Scale and Structural Adjustment in Animal Industry In recent years, our government has introduced a series of environmental protection laws and policies such as the new Environmental Protection Law, the Regulations on Prevention and Control of Pollution from Large-Scale Livestock and Poultry Industry, the Plan for Prevention and Treatment of Contaminated Water, the Guiding Opinions on Adjusting the Layout of Pig Production in the Southern Water Network Region et al. These anti-pollution regulations stipulate the pollution prevention in animal industry, and especially limit the production scale in the regions of key water sources and their surrounding areas. According to the regulations and policies of the central government, the banned areas and restricted areas have been highlighted throughout the country, and pig farms in the prohibited areas are gradually relocated in the southern water-network area. The implementation of environmental protection policies not only further speeds up the withdrawal of individual pig farms to reduce the backward production model with unqualified environmental protection, but also expand the production capacity of large-scale farm with better breeding structure. In addition, the establishment of banned areas and restricted areas will enforce the adjustments of pig production capacity across the country. The adjustments of the scale composition of pig production and the relocation of pig production area will certainly have a profound impact on the existing capacity layout, market share, 3 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited pricing, and business model of feed industry. The impact of environmental protection policies on the pig industry and feed industry induces existing competitive enterprises at the risk of reshuffle. Risk control measures included four aspects: (1) The company continually improves its service capability to farmers. In addition to feed products, the company is also engaged in the industrial fields of animal healthcare, vaccines, and finance, and connects closely with large-scale farmers. (2) The feed products of the company cover the field of livestock, poultry, and aquatic animals with abundant product lines. The producing lines for pig feed, chicken feed, duck feed and pelleted fish feed can be shared and switched. The company can rapidly shift the production layout according to the changes in the market through adjusting the production capacity in the manufacturers. (3) The company adopts multiple models to speed up the production layout in areas with abundant resources and permitted environment, and to obtain more market share in new animal farming areas. (4) The company continues to increase R&D investment, and the key technologies on microbial fermented feed and antibiotic alternatives have been effectively applied to foster the progress and development of the industry. 5. Risk of Exchange Rate Fluctuations The global procurement of feed raw materials has become the norm. The scale of overseas investment and operations of the company is also rapidly expanded. The scale of cross-border fund settlement and the stock of overseas assets have grown substantially, involved in various currency types of different countries. The currency exchange rate fluctuations are subject to different influence factors. The exchange rate fluctuations in any currency put certain impact on the settlement cost and asset value of the regions. Risk control methods include two aspects: (1) the company strictly controls the exchange rate risks, carefully selects settlement currencies to achieve relatively balanced regional fund inflow and outflow through structural arrangements of financing sources and financing types according to the scale, the model, and settlement characteristics of business in different regions and countries. (2) The expansion of two-way fluctuations in RMB exchange rate has become the new norm. The company increases its awareness of foreign exchange risk and arranges settlement models according to the procurement and sales strategies and the cycle characteristics of import and export operations, and flexibly used financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange settlement and sale, swaps, foreign exchange options and others to lock in exchange rate, control procurement and sales costs and the possible risks caused by exchange rate fluctuations. The statements involving the company's future plans in this report do not 4 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited constitute substantial commitment of the company to any investors or related parties. Investors are kindly advised to aware investment risks. The proposed profit distribution plan of the Company was considered and passed by the Board: on the basis of the total number of shares on the date of record minus the repurchased shares when the plan is implemented in the future, the Company will distribute cash dividend of RMB 4.50 (tax inclusive) and 0 bonus share (tax inclusive) for every 10 existing shares held by all shareholders without capitalization of capital reserve. In this report, certain total numbers may not be exactly equal to the summation of their sub-item numbers as a result of roundoff. This report has been prepared in both Chinese and English.

Management Discussion and Analysis I. Industry Situation during the reporting period 1. Basic situation and development stage of the industry The breeding industry is related to the national economy and citizen livelihood. It is the pillar industry of the agricultural and rural economy, the strategic industry that ensures food safety and quality of life for citizen, and the key industry to comprehensively promote rural revitalization and accelerate agricultural and rural modernization. As the core of animal husbandry, the breeding industry plays a role in linking the planting industry and the food industry. With the promotion of consumption upgrading, more strict environmental protection, green and high-quality and technological innovation, the trend of large-scale, intensive, and intelligent development of livestock and poultry breeding has accelerated, and the agglomeration effect of technology, talent and other factor resources has further been highlighted. At the same time, with the deepening of breeding scale-up and the improvement of technology, as well as the improvement of the demand for food safety, green and quality, the importance of upstream businesses around breeding industry including feed, seedling, animal healthcare et al are becoming increasingly prominent. The competition in the industry is accelerating, the integration continues to accelerate, and the degree of centralization is increasing. 2. The situation of the industry in 2022 In 2022, the feed industry and breeding industry experienced one bottoming pick-up process. In the first half of the year, there was significant price rise of raw materials, leading to an increase production costs in breeding and feed industry. At the same time, the weak consumption intensified the losses of breeding industry, forming the situation of squeezing each other among the upstream, midstream, and downstream of feed industry. In the second half of the year, breeding stock stopped cutting capacity , and the prices of products have started to rise, and the profit of breeding industry improved to varying degrees, and the financial pressure of farmers has decreased. The confidence in farmers have recovered with the increasing breeding stock and the enthusiasm for feeding. Both the breeding industry and the feed industry have gradually recovered due to significantly less suppression of the demand and the prices for feed products. However, due to the steep decline in consumer demand during the Spring Festival, the circulation of farming products was broken, disrupting the pace of farmers' fish production, especially for aquaculture which was supposed to be the peak period of fish production before the Spring Festival, and the overall storage volume was relatively high. More details as followings, 1. In terms of raw materials for bulk agricultural products, the prices fluctuated sharply due to the international situation, abnormal weather, and other factors, resulting in overall high-cost performance. According to the data from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the annual average domestic price of corn is about 2,900 yuan/ton, maintaining the historical high. The annual domestic average price of wheat exceeds 3,300 yuan/ton, which is the highest in the past three years. The price of domestic soybean meal has experienced twice rapid increases throughout the year, rising from the peak of 3,700 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to over 5,500 yuan/ton. The prices of rice, fish meal and other meal types increased in varying degrees. It was challenged to inform in time and effectively to downstream farming industry under circumstance of rapid, significant, and 15 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited widespread price increases in raw materials. 2. In terms of breeding industry: ① the profitability of poultry industry dropped in the first half of the year and was recovered in the second half of the year. The African swine fever virus resulted in the shortage of pig production, the poultry industry increased sharply driven by the substitution effect of poultry meat and price dividend. From the second half of 2020 to the first half of 2022, there had been a long period of loss in the poultry industry owing to the less impact of African swine fever virus, the high cost of poultry farming along with weak end-consumption of poultry, as a result, and the production capacity was decreased in all links. In the second half of the year, as production capacity decreased and end-consumption increased, the business of poultry farming chain became profitable, and the cash-flow of farmers was repaired. However, due to high prices of seedling and feed, and transportation concerns of policy, farmers were initially cautious about increasing their livestock stock. The pace of poultry breeding and restocking is gradually accelerating with the increasing of the supply of poultry seedlings in the later stage, as well as the enhancement of logistics certainty and other favorable factors. ② the pig production had further recovered, and its price had fluctuated sharply. Throughout the year of 2022, 699.95 million pigs were sold, an increase of 28.67 million or 4.3% compared to the previous year. The annual pork production was 55.41 million tons, an increase of 2.46 million tons or 4.6% compared to the previous year. At the end of the year, there were 452.56 million pigs, an increase of 0.7% year-on-year. Among them, 43.9 million sows can be bred, an increase of 1.4% year-on-year. The price of live pigs dropped first, and then went up from 12.29 yuan/kg in March to 27.09 yuan/kg in October with an average profit of over a thousand yuan per head, and quickly back to 20.01 yuan/kg at the end of the year. Although the market fluctuates sharply, farmers still kept good profit throughout the year owing to cost advantages, stable business, and high efficiency of production. ③ the trend of special aquaculture transformation in the aquaculture industry was promising, and the development of aquatic products in household consumption went well. The consumption upgrading and rising costs have led to the transformation from low gross profit species such as the four domestic fishes to special aquatic products such as snakehead, California perch, white-leg shrimp and monodon shrimp. The breeding model has also been explored and developed in the direction of specialization and high efficiency. Throughout the year, the prices of grass carp, carp, crucian carp, and tilapia were low, and the enthusiasm of farmers dropped to the bottom. The cultivation of grass carp and tilapia in Guangdong decreased by more than 30%. In terms of special aquaculture products, the demand for most species such as grouper and yellow catfish was sluggish throughout the year due to its highly depending on catering channels and circulation. Special aquatic products for household consumption, such as South American white shrimp, snakehead, crayfish, etc., had high enthusiasm among farmers and increased breeding capacity. However, the demand of fish at the end of the year suddenly decreased, resulting in the short-term pressure of low price due to excessive storage, slowing down the overall pace of aquaculture. Until later, when the fish consumption returned to normal, especially with the rapid rising demand of special fish, the prices came back the norm. 3. The feed industry had also experienced a bottoming pick-up process, many small and medium-sized feed enterprises faced further tightened cash-flow, worse debt ratio, and the catalyzing liquidation of production capacity. In the first half of the year, the rapid increasing in raw material costs, huge losses in the breeding industry, and the decreasing in market capacity led to exceptionally fierce industry competition. In the second half of the year, the pressure has been reduced with the recovered cash-flow in the breeding industry, but small and medium- sized feed manufacturers still faced enormous pressure. The domestic feed production increased slightly year-on- year throughout 2022. According to the China Feed Industry Association, the total industrial feed production in China was 302.234 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.7%, the significant decrease in growth compared to 2021.

The Jiangmen Rongchuan project and the Huainan Haid project: (1) Decision-making procedure executed for the changes: Reasons for the changes, decision-making procedure According to the Proposal on the Changes to Certain Raised Funds Investment Projects (《关于变更部分募集资金投资项目的 executed and information disclosed (by specific projects) 议案》) approved at the First Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in 2021 on 3 February 2021, it has been agreed to transfer the raised funds for the Qingyuan Haibei project and the Zhanjiang Haid project and the cash management income with the Guangzhou branch of HSBC Bank (China) Company Limited to the Jiangmen Rongchuan project and the Huainan Haid 47 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited project. (2) Reasons for the changes: A. Previously, the Qingyuan Haibei project intended to build an annual capacity of 30,000 tons of aquatic premix with an investment of RMB 216.0009 million. Due to reasons such as the adjustments to the industry’s farming scale and structure and production areas as well as the Company’s constant refinement of its product portfolio, the Company changed the Qingyuan Haibei project to other feed projects so as to better meet market needs and further refine the existing production capacity structure. B. Previously, the Zhanjiang Haid project intended to build an annual capacity of 200,000 tons of aquatic compound feed with an investment of RMB 220.9288 million to increase its supply to West Guangdong Province and East Guangxi Province. However, the feed factory of Wuzhou Haid in East Guangxi Province has been completed, and construction accelerated for the raised funds investment project of Nanning Haid with an annual output of 480,000 tons of feed, which will help ease the supply pressure in the region to some degree. In view of the priority levels of the projects and the Company’s capacity portfolio needs, the Company changed the Zhanjiang Haid project to other feed projects. To sum up, in view of market needs and the Company’s capacity portfolio needs, and in order for better use of the raised funds, the Company has changed the construction arrangements for the Qingyuan Haibei project and the Zhanjiang Haid project and has decided to use the remaining raised funds for advance investment in the construction of the Jiangmen Rongchuan project and the Huainan Haid project. (3) Information disclosure: For further information, see the Announcement on the Changes to Certain Raised Funds Investment Projects (《关于变更部分募 集资金投资项目的公告》) (Announcement No. 2021-008), which has been disclosed on the media designated for information disclosure, namely, the Securities Times (《证券时报》), China Securities Journal (《中国证券报》), Shanghai Securities News (《上海证券报》), Securities Daily (《证券日报》), and http://www.cninfo.com.cn. 2. The Yancheng Rongchuan project, the Pingnan Haid project, the Hexian Haid High-end Aquatic Feed project, the Enshi Haid project, and the Xingtai Haid project: (1) Decision-making procedure executed for the changes: According to the Proposal on the Changes to Certain Raised Funds Investment Projects (《关于变更部分募集资金投资项目的议案》) approved at the Fifth Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in 2022 on 28 December 2022, it has been agreed to transfer part of the raised funds for the Huai’an Hailong project, the Fuzhou Haid project, the Yicheng Haid project, the Kaifeng Haid project, the Yulin Haid project and the Sichuan Rongchuan project to the Yancheng Rongchuan project, the Pingnan Haid project, the Hexian Haid High-end Aquatic Feed project, the Enshi Haid project, and the Xingtai Haid project. (2) Reasons for the changes: A. Previously, the Huai’an Hailong project intended to build an annual capacity of 200,000 tons of aquatic compound feed with an investment of RMB 271.0012 million. In order to quickly relieve the supply pressure around Huai'an City, the Company has purchased and immediately put into production an aquatic feed production base with an annual capacity of 200,000 tons through its majority-owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Haiwei Feed Co., Ltd. In view of its capacity portfolio needs, the Company reallocated the remaining raised funds of the Huai’an Hailong project to other feed projects. B. Previously, the Fuzhou Haid project intended to build an annual capacity of 180,000 tons of aquatic compound feed with an investment of RMB 345.4454 million. In the construction of the project, Fuzhou Haid adjusted the production capacity allocation standard to enhance the capacity utilization rate; at the same time, based on the Company's market strategy adjustments, the central Fujian market previously covered by Fuzhou Haid was shifted to Sanming Haid Feed Co., Ltd., making Fuzhou Haid basically able to meet the demand of the market with its existing production capacity. In view of the priority levels of the projects and the Company’s capacity portfolio needs, the Company reallocated the remaining raised funds of the Fuzhou Haid project to other feed projects. C. Previously, the Yicheng Haid project intended to build an annual capacity of 380,000 tons of pig feed with an investment of RMB 170.0014 million. The Yicheng Haid project mainly serves the Company's local farming business and the export market 48 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited within its radius. In recent years, the Company has improved the overall capacity utilization rate through regional capacity integration, special line technical reform of specialization and standardization and other measures; and the new construction and technical reform project of Anlu Haid in the peripheral market of the region has been put into operation, which has eased the supply pressure of the peripheral pig feed market. In view of the priority levels of the projects and the purpose to increase the utilization efficiency of raised funds, the Company reallocated the remaining raised funds of the Yicheng Haid project to other feed projects. D. Previously, the Kaifeng Haid project intended to build an annual capacity of 300,000 tons of animal, poultry and aquatic compound feed with an investment of RMB 180.0025 million. In order to quickly relieve the supply pressure, the Company's subsidiaries, Henan Haiding and Henan Mugaole, have added approximately 300,000 tons of feed production capacity in Kaifeng City and the surrounding areas through leasing and renovation and expansion of their own feed production lines respectively. In view of its capacity portfolio needs, the Company reallocated the remaining raised funds of the Kaifeng Haid project to other feed projects. E. Previously, the Yulin Haid project intended to build an annual capacity of 450,000 tons of animal, poultry and aquatic compound feed with an investment of RMB 311.8661 million, which fills the gap in the market from western Guangdong to eastern Guangxi, southern Guangxi and western Guangdong and can effectively relieve the Company's tight supply in the region. Given that the Company's feed mills built or acquired in the areas adjacent to Yulin, such as Nanning and Qinzhou, have been gradually put into operation, the tight supply in the target project area has been alleviated. In view of its capacity portfolio needs and the purpose to increase the utilization efficiency of raised funds, the Company reallocated the remaining raised funds of the Yulin Haid project to other feed projects. F. With the implementation location being in Meishan City, Sichuan Province, the Sichuan Rongchuan project previously intended to build an annual capacity of 200,000 tons of aquatic compound feed with an investment of RMB 234.3164 million to increase the aquatic feed supply capacity in the southwest region. Given that the Company’s expanded and new feed projects have been gradually put into operation in the areas around Meishan such as Chongqing, Chengdu and Deyang, effectively supplementing the supply capacity in the southwest region and the central Sichuan region. In view of its capacity portfolio needs and the purpose to increase the utilization efficiency of raised funds, the Company reallocated the remaining raised funds of the Sichuan Rongchuan project to other feed projects. To sum up, in view of market needs and the Company’s capacity portfolio needs, and in order for better use of the raised funds, the Company has changed the construction arrangements for the Huai’an Hailong project, the Fuzhou Haid project, the Yicheng Haid project, the Kaifeng Haid project, the Yulin Haid project and the Sichuan Rongchuan project, and has decided to use the remaining raised funds for advance investment in the construction of the Yancheng Rongchuan project, the Pingnan Haid project, the Hexian Haid High-end Aquatic Feed project, the Enshi Haid project, and the Xingtai Haid project.

X. Structured Entities Controlled by the Company □ Applicable Not applicable 52 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited XI.Prospects for the development of the company 1.Industry landscape and trends The 14th Five Year Plan (2021-2025) is the first five years to embark on the new journey of comprehensively building a socialist modernized country. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council's Opinions on Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization and Accelerating Agricultural and Rural Modernization (hereinafter referred to as the Rural Revitalization Opinions) was proposed to enhance the supply guarantee capacity of grain and important agricultural products and to accelerate the construction of a modern aquaculture system. The aquaculture industry will develop towards standardization, industrialization and scaled. With the acceleration of intelligent, the feed industry will enter the stage of high-speed integration, and the advantages and position of the industry leaders are increasingly prominent. 1. Structural Development of the Feed Industry The feed industry is expected to grow steadily, but the growth rate will decrease and there will be differences in the growth structure of different varieties. With the continuous growth of per capita disposable income, upgrading of consumption, improvement of urbanization level, and the transformation of consumption concepts, the demand for high-quality, distinctive, and high-standard meat products will increase, the consumption of special aquatic products and beef and mutton meat will increase significantly, and the consumption of meat and poultry/egg poultry will be stable. The consumption of pork will decrease, and various feed varieties will also show structural adjustments. 2. Further intensification of industry integration and increasing international competitiveness The total growth of feed has slowed down, and the industry has entered the stock game stage with more intense competition among feed companies. Due to various factors such as overcapacity, meager profits, significant fluctuations in raw material prices, strict environmental regulations, and improved biological prevention and control safety in the feed industry, a large number of small and medium-sized feed enterprises will have to withdraw. For large enterprises with strong comprehensive strength, outstanding industrial chain product strength, and advantages in scale, management, technology, talent and other aspects, there will be more opportunities for integrating the market. At the same time, regional expansion and extension will become important development strategies. The leading enterprises will use their scale and technological advantages to rapidly expand into emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, and Africa, increasing their international competitiveness. 3. Technology driving industry progress is more evident The differentiation and integrated development of the feed industry have made the role of technology increasingly important in industry competition. The global correlation of agricultural products is becoming increasingly close, and some regions' weather conditions and uncertainty in international trade relations can cause significant fluctuations in agricultural product prices. Animal nutrition demand, feed formula adjustment, and raw material substitution technology are all core areas of feed technology competition. The optimization and alternation of downstream aquaculture models, as well as the richness and diversity of aquaculture varieties, have put forward higher requirements for the adaptability of feed products. Technological research and development drive feed products in respond to the needs of farmers in a timely manner, becoming an important competitive point. At the same time, the innovation and development of feed products will also lead the upgrading of downstream aquaculture. For example, the flourishing development of biological feed technology, the increasing variety of feed microorganisms, enzyme preparations and other products, as well as the continuous expansion of functions, will show great potential in promoting the replacement of feed antibiotics and the efficient utilization of feed resources, which will become new competitive barriers in the industry. 4. The seedling and animal protection industries will grow rapidly over a long period of time due to the technological progress and the upgrading of aquaculture The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China has proposed to deepen the implementation of the seed industry revitalization action, solidly promote the protection and utilization of germplasm resources and the innovation in the seed industry, upgrade the seed industry base, support seed industry enterprises, and purify the seed industry market, and accelerate the promotion of seed industry technology self-reliance and the controllability 53 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited of seed sources. High quality animal seedlings will have a huge demand for the development in the long term, and factors such as resources, technology, and talent will gather in key seed source advantage enterprises. With the upgrading of the aquaculture industry, the enhancement of farmers' discrimination ability, and the implementation of national aquatic seedling inspection and quarantine access, the seedlings will enter the process of industry integration and reshuffle. The demand for nationally recognized high-quality brand seedlings will rapidly increase, and the value of aquatic seedlings in the aquaculture industry chain will also become increasingly apparent, including production/disease resistance/aquaculture and other production and profit links. With the acceleration of the trend of large-scale and centralized aquaculture, corresponding to higher biological epidemic prevention costs, the space for animal healthcare industry is expanding upwards. At the same time, the industry implements the new version of GMP requirements, and large enterprises with advantages such as scale, technology, and talent will benefit from it, gradually gathering market share to top enterprises. 5. The aquaculture industry will accelerate towards scale, efficiency, and intelligence Due to factors such as land constraints, food safety, industrial technological progress, and increasingly young employees, the aquaculture industry will rapidly develop towards industrialization, scale, and intelligence. At present, the large-scale of poultry farming has been formed, and the threshold for the scale is constantly increasing. Pig farming is rapidly completing its large-scale process due to the impact of African swine fever. The scale of aquaculture is relatively slow due to difficulties in concentrating water resources. The overall funding of the aquaculture industry is short, and excellent listed companies in the industry are increasing their industrial expansion. Large real-estate and technology companies are also using their own advantages to enter the aquaculture field. Excellent enterprises are empowering automation, digitization, and intelligence in the process of bringing manpower, technology, and management to the aquaculture industry. Meanwhile, various funds have rushed into the aquaculture industry in recent years, leading to the sharp increase in aquaculture production capacity. The key points of competition have shifted to management, cost, and efficiency advantages during the aquaculture process. 6. More comprehensive and in-depth development of the industrial chain The demand for green and safe food will promote the construction of food traceability system and agricultural standardization system. Large and excellent enterprises with technology, talent, and financial advantages will gradually improve their industrial chain layout in connecting the industrial chain and have the ability to control full business processes, including seedlings, breeding, feed, animal protection, transportation, food processing et al, which will further reversely promote more efficient and in-depth industrial chain layout of large and excellent enterprises. Food safety also forces large-scale enterprises in the industry's production process to engage in professional docking, ensuring that every production process is safe, controllable and traceable, promoting more aggregation of industry chain business, and accelerating industry integration. 2.Future development prospects of the company 1. The company's development strategy is to become the leading and sustainable high-tech agricultural and animal husbandry company in China. The foundation of company development is based on "creating value for customers". The company focuses on the upstream and downstream of aquaculture, seedling, animal healthcare, feed, aquaculture, slaughtering, food processing and other links, building the leading industry to provide comprehensive solutions for farmers including feed, seedling, animal healthcare, and aquaculture technology services, as well as other needs of farmers and distributors, effectively improving the profitability of the company's farmers and distributors, and realizing the win-win development mode between the company and customers. 2. The basic strategy for the development of the company's industrial chain is to scale up based on specialization and extend the industrial chain based on core competitiveness. The company will focus on feed products as its core business, while actively developing businesses such as seedling, animal protection, aquaculture, circulation, and food processing to cultivate the company's professional capabilities throughout the entire industrial chain and build a comprehensive core competitiveness in the industrial chain. 3. The company's business development plan. The future development focus of the company will still revolve around the needs of the aquaculture sector, providing overall solutions for farmers, and further expanding the sales scale and profitability of the company's feed, seedlings, and animal healthcare products. At the same time, the company maintains an appropriate scale of pig and aquatic farming, and resolutely strengthens the professional 54 Full text of 2022 Annual Report of Guangdong Haid Group Co., Limited capacity of farming business. (1) The feed business is the company's core business, and the company's feed sales target for the next few years is 40 million tons. In 2021, the company formulated an equity incentive plan that includes more than 4000 employees. The annual feed sales growth target is no less than 3.2 million tons and increases year by year, with the compound growth rate of about 20%, which is much higher than the growth rate of the feed industry and peer listed companies in the industry in recent years, and also significantly higher than the growth rate of the company in previous years. If the company's feed sales target can be successfully achieved, the company's market share will significantly increase, and the product competitive advantage will become more obvious. The company will have sustained and strong competitive advantages. (2) Providing overall solutions for farmers must rely on seedlings and animal healthcare. At present, the company has become the leader in the industry of aquatic seedlings and aquatic healthcare, with sales scale and product effects leading the industry. Especially in recent years, the products of South American white shrimp seedlings have consistently performed well and have been widely recognized by farmers. This not only allows farmers to significantly increase their breeding profits, but also drives the growth of the company's feed sales. The company will continue to increase research and the development of seedlings and business cooperation, gradually expanding the advantages of seedlings to fish and pig varieties. In terms of animal healthcare business, the company will continue to upgrade and iterate the service model of existing animal healthcare service stations, providing not only high-quality animal healthcare products for farmers, but also comprehensive breeding technology services, and the actual needs of farmers with additional value-added products and services to create unique technology hosting platform. (3) The aquaculture business adheres to scale based on specialization. Developing aquaculture business can deepen the company and team's understanding of aquaculture needs and provide a large number of high-quality service talents for feed, seedling, and animal healthcare businesses. At the same time, the aquaculture business is also required link for the company to further expand and develop the downstream of the industrial chain in the future, such as food processing business. In the future, the company hopes to provide healthy and traceable ingredients for the people. The professional abilities in the breeding process must be established, and the size can be controlled at an appropriate scale.
