Both are two great Chinese companies and, with China as the world’s leading producer of potatoes, it further secures our sorting and peeling presence in this part of the world.

“The World Potato Congress was a fitting opportunity for us to gain access to our growing customer base in China and to hold the signing ceremony at the event itself further proved our commitment to the overall customer experience. We look forward to this being the beginning of a long, successful relationship with Gansu Jindadi and Aviko-Snow Valley.”
