From Local Orchards to Global Leaders: Zhejiang Jinming Biotech Sets New Standard in Citrus Supply Chain
With nearly 40 years of deep cultivation in the citrus processing industry (with its predecessor tracing back to early technical expertise), Zhejiang Jinming Biological Science & Technology Co., Ltd. is fundamentally reshaping how global customers perceive citrus ingredient sourcing through its solid strengths in "source factory + full industry chain control."As a national high-tech enterprise integrating planting, R&D, deep processing, and sales, Jinming Biotech is not only a trusted partner behind many of China's leading fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands but is also rapidly becoming the preferred strategic partner for global food and beverage companies in citrus ingredients.
Source Advantage: Own Plantation Bases and a Stable "Enterprise + Farmer" Ecosystem
For overseas buyers, stable supply of raw materials and pesticide residue safety are core pain points. Relying on the geographical advantages of Quzhou, known as the "Hometown of Citrus," Jinming Biotech has established over 1,000 mu (approximately 67 hectares) of non-polluted, pesticide-free, self-owned citrus planting bases. Through an innovative "enterprise + eco-agricultural base + farmer" model, the company deeply manages more than 2,000 cooperative citrus growers.
This model not only ensures the optimal sugar-acid ratio of the fruit through digital agricultural technologies (for example, the Wonkan variety achieves a sugar-acid ratio of 17.5°), but also guarantees the health and safety of every single pulp segment via a full-chain traceability system. According to a company report released in 2025, this model has enabled surrounding farmers to increase their per-mu income by over 20%. It ensures that, even amid market fluctuations, the supply of industrial raw materials maintains exceptional "resilience" and cost-effectiveness.
Manufacturing Innovation: The World's First Intelligent Production Line with a Daily Output of 120 Tons
To meet the high requirements of international customers for standardization and production capacity, Jinming Biotech has taken the lead in the industry to complete its "intelligent manufacturing" upgrade. In the second half of 2025, the company announced that its self-developed world's first intelligent production line for honey pomelo sacs, with a daily output of 120 tons, had officially reached full capacity after five years of R&D.
This technological breakthrough has addressed the industry bottleneck of traditional citrus processing, which heavily relies on manual labor (in the past, the peak season required hiring 300 temporary workers for peeling pomelos):
Efficiency Improvement: Production time has been reduced from the traditional 12 hours to just 6 hours.
Yield Leap: The raw material yield rate has increased to 60%, which is 18 percentage points higher than traditional methods.
Quality Standardization: Through automated debittering technology, the content of bitter substances (limonin) in the product is controlled below 0.05%, ensuring that the end beverages have a refreshing, smooth taste without any astringency.
R&D-Driven: Annual Investment Exceeding RMB 4 Million, Benchmarking Against International Standards
Jinming Biotech is not only a "manual laborer" but also an "intellectual worker." The company invests over RMB 4 million annually in R&D, holds 57 registered trademarks and 35 authorized patents (including multiple invention patents), and has undertaken a number of national-level "Spark Program" projects.
On the quality control front, Jinming Biotech strictly adheres to global standards:
Certification System: The company has passed ISO22000 and HACCP system certifications and holds HALAL certification, fully complying with the regulatory requirements for export to the United States and the Middle East.
Nutritional Indicators: Taking the core product-Wonkan NFC (Not From Concentrate) juice-as an example, SGS testing has shown that the vitamin C content remains as high as 30mg per 100ml, while the bitter substances are far below industry standards.
Market Recognition: Serving Tier-1 Brands and Exporting Globally
Trust comes from strength. Jinming Biotech is a core supplier to leading domestic players in the tea beverage, dairy, and beverage industries, with its products widely used in premium fruit juices, tea drinks, and dairy products.
In the international market, Jinming Biotech also performs exceptionally well. Its product line covers high-value-added products such as Mandarin Orange Cell Sacs, Orange puree, NFC Citrus juice, and citrus fiber powder, which are exported to Russia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and markets in Europe and America.
Currently, Jinming Biotech's new factory project in the Hangbu Industrial Park is in its final stage. When the new factory reaches full capacity in 2026, the total construction area will reach 65,000 square meters, annual production capacity will leap from 5,000 tons to 50,000 tons, and the comprehensive utilization rate of citrus will increase to over 90%.
