About the Group

Founded in February 1995, the Kunming-based Yunnan Hongyu Group is a privately run enterprise group engaged in inter-trade and diversified operation. As the result of an effort to adjust the industrial structure in recent years, in 2001, a layout of industrial development that features involvement in education, agriculture, international drug-crop substitution, and hi-tech took shape, with considerable economic, social, and ecologic benefits achieved. As one of China’s large-scale private enterprises, the Group has made tremendous contribution to the economic growth of areas inhabited by ethnic minorities and the stability of frontiers. Now the Group’s total assets, including exclusively funded and joint funded subsidiaries, have amounted to more than RMB 600 million yuan; the annual amount of tax paid and after-tax profits of it has exceeded 10 million yuan. It has a staff of over 500, and has some 10 thousand rural families taking part in its daily production and operation.

In the education sector, the Group holds 51% shares of the Yunnan University Dianchi College. Also, it owns a joint venture – Yunnan Hongrui Lemon Development Co., Ltd – in the agricultural sector, a fully funded business – Yunnan Green Treasure Industrial Development Co., Ltd. – in the international drug-crop substitution, Beijing Hongrui Lemon Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. – a jointly funded outfit – in the hi-tech sector, as well as the Yunnan Sino-Laotian Hongniu
Ecological, Agricultural, Industrial and Technological Park, the 35km Coffee Test Center Experimental Farm in Champasak Province, Laos, and the Sino-Myanmar Plantation and Cultivation Comprehensive Demo Park in Rangoon, Myanmar under the “Going out” strategic program. Thus a new layout backed by the education industry and guided by the drug-crop substitution industry and the “Going out” strategic program, based on the agricultural industry, with the hi-tech industry as its focus and the public welfare as its own obligation, of “Hongyu Industry”, has been formed.

A unique, rational, healthy, and advanced corporate culture of the Group has come into being in the course of constant value creation and society rewarding. Under the spirit of enterprise: “From our own hands come enterprises Hong (means grand or great), in our heart dwells long a dream to cross Yu (means the world)”, the Group keeps growing stronger and stronger. Its philosophy to “take a sunny road and achieve a colorful career” shows clearly the direction of development; its code of behavior to be “sincerity based, and innovation focused” has greatly promoted its development; its aim in value pursuit to “develop the enterprise and reward the society” has contributed to the development in unison between the enterprise and the society.

The Group is also an active force in the public welfare undertaking; it set up the Guangcai Program Foundation and the Yunnan Silver Tide Elderly Service Center, and organized various activities in helping student, the elderly and the poor, and orphan, with acknowledgement and praise from the society received.
