On 11 March, the local ecological environment bureau accepted and publicized the environmental impact report for Big Health Biotechnology Industrial Park Project (Phase II) by Henan Jinyufeng Biological Technology Co., Ltd. (Henan Jinyufeng).

Overview of Phase II

• Nature: Expansion
• Location:Economic and Technological Development Zone, Zhumadian City, Henan Province
• Total investment: USD237 million (RMB1.7 billion), of which USD1.8 million (RMB13 million) is for environmental protection
• Product plan:
  • 680,000 t/a of corn starch (Grade I)
  • 80,000 t/a of 98% lysine hydrochloride
  • 120,000 t/a of 70% lysine sulfate
  • 600,000 t/a of liquid glucose
  • 120,000 t/a of maltodextrin
  • 96,000 t/a of corn protein powder
  • 183,333 t/a of corn fiber
  • 202,222 t/a of corn steep liquor
  • 166,667 t/a of corn germ
• Key raw material: 2,000,000 t/a of corn
• Labor quota: 210 employees
• Working system: Three 8hr shifts per day, 330 working days per year

Phase II is a “construction before approval” project.

• In Dec. 2023, the civil engineering of the lysine project in Phase II began construction and was completed in May 2024.
• In Oct. 2024, the installation of production line equipment for the lysine project was completed, but no commissioning or production has taken place. Other production lines in Phase II have not yet started construction.
• On 7 March, 2025, the local ecological environment bureau imposed administrative penalties on the illegal construction of the lysine project, and the case has been closed.

The Big Health Biotechnology Industrial Park Project (Phase I) has been put into production in H1 2024, consuming 1,800,000 t/a of corn to produce 920,000 t/a of corn starch (Grade I), 100,000 t/a of corn germ oil, 200,000 t/a of fructose-glucose syrup, 200,000 t/a of maltose syrup, 86,400 t/a of corn protein powder, 165,000 t/a of corn fiber, 182,000 t/a of corn steep liquor and 150,000 t/a of corn germ.
