  The export order for Uzbekistan's 2 million tons steelmaking project includes more than 60 sets (sets) of crane equipment, etc. It is expected that our company can complete the delivery in July.

Beginning in 2023, our company has ushered in a good start, and orders have exceeded 800 million yuan, of which export orders accounted for about 10%.

Our lifting equipment has been sold to many countries such as Vietnam and Pakistan this year.

  [Explanation] In Henan Mingsheng New Material Technology Co., Ltd. located in Zhengzhou High-tech Industrial Development Zone, the 120,000-square-meter photovoltaic green industry standardized factory building is a busy scene.

The workers operate the machine to cast and roll the molten aluminum into aluminum plates, and the smart trolley transports the aluminum back and forth.

The high-performance aluminum materials produced by them are widely used in military industry, aerospace, automobile and other fields, and are exported to overseas markets such as North America, Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, and exported to more than 40 countries and regions.

In order to get off to a good start in the first quarter, we are also in full production.

The company's main production is aluminum sheet, strip and foil, which are sold at home and abroad, and we have customers in regions such as Southeast Asia.

  [Explanation] The stability of foreign trade benefits from the construction of ports.

In 2022, Henan Province will stabilize its foreign trade market, and the total value of import and export of goods will exceed 852.4 billion yuan.

The Zhengzhou drug import port has been approved to add the import function of Chinese herbal medicines, and the China-Europe Railway Express (Zhongyu) has added 8 international routes.

This is not easy for inland provinces.

  [Explanation] In the 50,000-square-meter production operation area of ​​China (Puyang) Ethiopian Coffee Industry Demonstration Park, the coffee roasting machine is roaring, and under the action of high temperature, the burnt aroma of coffee beans permeates everywhere.

The project was signed on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Egypt. In September 2022, the No. 1 workshop of the demonstration park will be completed and officially put into production.

  [Concurrent] Enterprise project leader Ye Zhiyong

  Currently in production are orders from the Middle East market. This is the first batch of orders we will take the initiative to attack overseas (markets) in December 2022.

Our project is the first (all) modern cold extraction and freeze-drying coffee processing enterprise in Asia that uses Ethiopian green coffee beans as the main raw material and produces the whole chain from roasting, grinding, extraction to freeze-drying.

Judging from the current orders, the growth rate of the Middle East market is obvious. There are already customers from Saudi Arabia who are interested in docking in the region. So far, the total amount of orders under negotiation has reached more than 95 million yuan. It is expected that by the end of 2023, the sales volume will exceed 200 million yuan.
