The farm, which is located in Gannan county of Heilongjiang province's Qiqihar city, was founded in 1956. It has been under the management of Beijing Capital Agribusiness Group, which is owned by the Beijing government, since 2012. In the past three years, the group has invested 114 million yuan ($17.8 million) to develop the farm's comprehensive industrial chain.
