A cooperation agreement was signed between the Tongliao municipal people’s government and Yili Industrial Group Jan 17, initiating a high-end milk and meat industrial clusters demonstration project in the city. 

Bu Xiaolin, deputy secretary of the Party committee and chairman of Inner Mongolia autonomous region, and Pan Gang, president of Yili, attended the signing ceremony.                                     

Zhang Jianqiu, chief executive officer of Yili, delivered a speech and thanked the Party committees and governments of Tongliao city for their support for the project. 

Led by the vision of "becoming the world's most trusted health food provider", Yili Group has been actively contributing to the deployment of the dairy industrial chain in Inner Mongolia, giving full play to the advantages of local milk resources and mapping out the development of health industry clusters. 

The project will build standardized dairy farms and beef cattle farms, intelligent dairy and beef cattle processing plants to cover all procedures in dairy product manufacturing. 

It is expected to rear 360,000 cows and beef cattle, and generate an average daily milk output of 5,000 tons, becoming a world-class milk base and a high-quality beef cattle base, as well as the only comprehensive development project of integrated modern agricultural resources in the country. 

So far, Yili Group has launched five major health industrial cluster projects in Inner Mongolia. The other four are located in Bayan Nur, Hunlun Buir and Hinggan League.
