Zixin Group clinches first probiotic-infused fermented sweet potato feedstock order

The order consists of approximately 1,080 tonnes of feedstock.

SGX Catalist-listed Zixin Group has secured its first probiotic-infused fermented sweet potato feedstock order from a local chicken poultry breeder farm in Liancheng County on 31 December 2024.

The $0.61m order consists of approximately 1,080 tonnes of feedstock valid for an initial period of one year, commencing on 1 January.

The order is estimated to require 5,400 tonnes of sweet potato peel waste, with the 3,500 tonnes to be supplied by Zixin and the remaining 1,900 tonnes to be sourced from other farmers or food processing plants in Liancheng County.

Zixin will outsource the fermentation and production of the probiotic-infused fermented sweet potato feedstock to a third-party fermentation plant operator.

“Besides transforming a cost into income, we believe we are also enhancing the environment and extending the nutritional value found in sweet potatoes to other food sources, such as chicken poultry,” Liang Chengwang, executive chairman and CEO of Zixin Group said.
