In the production workshop of Shandong Chunwang Food Tech in the early autumn, AI-powered visual sorting systems can be seen rapidly screening ingredients while smart filling equipment handles packaging and industrial robots manage palletizing. Powered by this intelligent system, local peanuts and nuts are transformed into high-quality casual snacks set to be shipped worldwide.
This modernization reflects the growth of new quality productive forces in Linyi's food sector. Lanshan district has driven industrial upgrading by strengthening supply chains and building a robust enterprise ecosystem. That now features 26 major enterprises and seven provincial-level leading companies in the health meat product sector.
As a key high-tech enterprise, Chunwang Food has built an integrated model spanning R&D, planting, processing, and marketing. Following a 320-million-yuan ($47-million) investment, its new peanut and nut processing project commenced production in June, adding three automated lines yielding 10,000 metric tons a year. The company integrates AI visual sorting, automated measuring, and robotic warehousing to ensure rigorous quality control and efficiency.
Thriving on innovation, the company operates production lines at full capacity. Domestically, it leverages mainstream e-commerce platforms and live-streaming partnerships alongside physical supermarkets. Globally, Chunwang Food reached 46 million yuan in exports across Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania in 2025, with a goal of 60 million yuan set for 2026.
By combining cutting-edge technology with dual domestic and international markets, Chunwang Food continues to steer local specialty food manufacturing toward sustainable, high-quality development.
