About COFCO

Founded in 1949, the same year as the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, COFCO Corporation Limited is a large-scale central SOE focusing on agriculture business, with significant presence in the food, finance, and real estate sectors. Years of development have now made it one of the world-leading international agri-food businesses.

 

At the end of 2025, the total assets of COFCO exceeded 700 billion yuan, with a revenue of 589.1 billion yuan.


We are a key facilitator of the world’s agri-food supply chain with businesses spreading across the globe and extending through the whole industry chain. COFCO has established an extensive multinational agri-food supply chain network covering storage, logistics, processing, and trade, with operations spanning six continents and assets distributed across nearly 40 countries and regions, enabling an agri-food operation of 180 million tons. Concentrating its product portfolio on products like grains, oils, sugars, and cotton, COFCO strategically positions itself in regions with the greatest potential of agri-food supply growth like South America and the Black Sea, as well as consumer markets in the Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Africa, which cover more than half of the global population. By investing in storage facilities, ports, terminals, railways, as well as a large modern fleet for maritime transport of bulk grains, building major agri-food processing sites, and putting together a global trade network, COFCO has established a major agri-food trade corridor that connects the Eastern and Western Hemispheres and empowers a more stable and efficient global agri-food supply.

 

We are a trailblazer in driving the transformation and upgrading of China’s agri-food sector, leveraging both our scale and our commitment to innovation to reshape traditional industries. COFCO is both the main channel for China’s agri-food imports and exports and an important constructor of the domestic Chinese logistics corridor that transports the northern grains to the south. Our domestic agricultural trade volume tops Chinese enterprises, and we are the biggest crusher of oilseeds, the largest operator of sugar and corn, and one of the top players in terms of corn deep-processing, wheat processing, and cotton operation. Our volume is supported by compatible logistics capabilities and massive modern processing capacities. In key logistics regions such as the eastern coastal areas and along the Yangtze River, we have formed modern agri-food logistics hubs, notably the Beiliang Port Dalian and the Jingjiang Terminal in Jiangsu. Across the major agri-food producing and consuming areas of China are over 200 processing facilities of COFCO, and one of the most important among them is Asia’s largest grain & oil processing industrial park in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu. We are accelerating the development of new quality productive forces in the agri-food sector, using sci-tech innovation to reshape traditional industries. By working closely with hundreds of thousands of partners across the industry chain, we are jointly contributing to a modern agri-food industrial system.

 

We are a creator of outstanding food brands and a leader in nutrition and health movement as one of the most well-known and trusted Chinese brands that strive to meet consumers’ evolving needs for higher-quality products. COFCO provides Chinese consumers with small-packaged products of rice, flour, edible oil, sugar, wines & spirits, beverages, meat, tea, and dairy. We produced the first bottle of dry red and dry white wine in the PRC, and the country’s first state-owned tea company is a COFCO subsidiary. Brands such as Fortune, Greatwall, ChinaTea, Joycome, Jiugui, Lohas, and Mengniu have become widely acclaimed brands of national popularity. Going hand in hand with the brand-building efforts is COFCO’s extensive research on the nutritional needs of Chinese consumers to get ahead of the national dietary improvement.

 

We are a comprehensive financial platform that primarily serves our core agri-food businesses and continuously advances the integration of the agri-food sector and the financial industry. Our financial services cover futures, trusts, insurance, and industrial funds. We have developed a financial service chain complemented by industrial funds, fintech, and overseas business, with a focus on three innovative areas: supply chain finance, agricultural finance, and wellness finance. These services provide financial support for the development of the agricultural industry chain and supply chain.

 

We are a provider of services that empower urban development and enrich lives based on a commitment to urban renewal and new retail scenarios. We continue to drive multi-sector synergy, with businesses spanning commercial complexes, residential properties, industrial real estate, hotels, office buildings, long-term rental apartments, and property services. With a presence in nearly 40 core cities across first- and second-tier markets, we are shaping a diversified Joy ecosystem that integrates diverse business formats, well-planned urban layouts, and optimized asset structures, creating lifestyle spaces for the public. Joy Cities are now open in over 25 Chinese cities, with more than 40 projects under construction and waiting to join the high-quality development of commercial real estate in a landscape defined by increasingly diverse consumer experiences.

 

In the future, COFCO shall continue to focus and become more competitive on its core agri-food business, strive to be a leading player in the campaigns that promote sci-tech independence, modern industries, and new quality productive forces, deepen corporate reform, contribute to comprehensive rural revitalization, pursue higher quality development, and accelerate its steps towards becoming a world-class enterprise with global competitiveness and influence.
