As a member in the domestic grain and oil industry, Yihai Kerry adheres consistently to the guiding ideology of leading the sustainable development of the grain and oil industry by science and technology, and commits itself to the scientific and technological innovation in the grain and oil field. It has innovatively developed the new industry models including “soybean recovery economy” and “rice recovery economy”, etc. after years of R&D and exploration, which convert in situ, process and add value to the raw grain to drive the transformation of the traditional agriculture from primary processing to the high value-added intensive processing, from traditional processing technology to high technology, and from resource-consuming type to efficient utilization type, and enable projects to have wider industrial fields, higher additional value and longer industrial chain. Those new industry models not only save energy and protect environment, but also can bring tangible benefits to the peasants, and explore a benign road for the practical transformation of our country from a big agricultural country to an agricultural power, the development of agriculture, countryside and farmers, and the new rural reconstruction.

    Soybean processing

Using high-quality soybeans as raw material, Yihai Kerry has developed a soybean intensive processing industry model with the longest production chain and the most abundant product categories. It offers more than 300 types of processed products such as soybean oil, edible lecithin, soybean hull, soy sauce meal, edible bean flour, soymilk powder, protein concentrate, protein，isolate and tissue protein – all of which are widely used in the food industry.

    Circular Economy of Rice

Through the selection of good rice varieties and order agriculture, enterprises and farmers, agricultural cooperatives have become a community of interest. The organic integration of businesses allows farmers to increase their income and businesses to benefit. The rice husk is used to generate electricity, thus reducing GHG emissions, such as CO2, and reducing waste generation. Rice husk ash is also used to produce high value-added products such as silica and activated carbon, which are used to replace similar high energy consumption, high pollution and high emission production processes and raw materials.

    The diagram and interpretation of the circular economy of rice are as follows:

Yihai Kerry’s circular economy of rice won First Prize in Science and Technology Awards by Chinese Cereals and Oils Association in 2010.

Yihai (Jiamusi) Oils & Grains Industries Co., Ltd passed the assessment in 2021 and formally become a pilot unit of circular economy standardization approved by the National Standards Committee and the National Development and Reform Commission.
