On February 14, 2020, Hebei Yufeng Industrial
Corporation Ltd. resumed construction for its large-scale health industrial
park project. This project is the first major project for which the Hebei
province has resumed construction since the outbreak of the Wuhan-based corona virus.
At the construction site for the project, all workers are undergoing regular
body temperature checks, and all workers must wear masks before entering the
site to work.
According to several sources, this project
aims to accrue RMB 5.6 billion (USD 809 million) in investments in the next
three years. The project is estimated to be able to produce 3.6 million tons of
processed corn products per year once completed. Some key products that the
project aims to produce are corn flour, glucose, maltose, sorbitol, mannitol,
and maltodextrin. By the end of 2019, the project had already accrued RMB 6
million (USD 87 million) in investments, and construction was completed for a
sugar alcohol workshop. Some equipment has already been installed, and heating
and electrical connections have already been set up for a liquid sugar workshop
and a solid sterol workshop. Furthermore, major equipment is being installed in
a dry sugar workshop, and a packaging center is being built.
