Wholesale Markets in Beijing

Page 3 of 10

The Huaken Yuegezhuang Market was established in 1986, a year after the government withdrew from growing non-staple crops. The market has become a showcase in China. Its investors recovered their investment in 1½ years and have attracted a low-interest loan from the World Bank to construct trade buildings where open fields are now.

The market is a semi-government cooperative between 3 investors: -    China State Farm Agribusiness Corporation       (Ministry of Agriculture) -   Beijing Aquatic Products Corporation -   Yue Zhong Agricultural Industrial and Commercial Company        (formerly a People's Commune)

Beijing's largest wholesale market
