Erguna City, Inner Mongolia - On April 27, 2025, the groundbreaking ceremony for Inner Mongolia Kangrui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.'s Silymarin Processing Plant was held in the Erguna Industrial Park in Hulunbuir. Leaders in charge of the People's Government of Erguna City, representatives of industry experts, business partners, and leaders of Kangrui Biotechnology gathered at the scene to witness this important moment in promoting the upgrading of the regional biopharmaceutical industry and the high-quality development of agriculture.
The leader in charge of the Erguna Municipal People's Government pointed out in his speech that the landing of the Kangrui Biological Milk Thistle Processing Plant project is a vivid practice of implementing the requirements of new quality productivity development. Relying on the ecological resource advantages of the 48 ° North Latitude Golden Planting Belt in Hulunbuir, the project will activate the potential of traditional agriculture through technological innovation, build a coordinated development pattern of "ecology production life", and inject strong impetus into the high-quality development of the region.
As one of the first innovative high-tech enterprises in the milk thistle industry in Inner Mongolia, Kangrui Biotechnology has formed a full chain layout of planting, research and development, production, and sales. The total investment of the processing plant that laid the foundation this time exceeds 100 million yuan, covering an area of 33000 square meters, including 16000 square meters of GMP standard factory buildings, equipped with two fully automatic production lines and internationally leading equipment such as molecular distillation systems, building a full process quality control system, and ranking among the top in the industry in terms of technical equipment level.
In terms of resource security, the company has established a standardized planting base for 140000 acres of organic milk thistle and laid out a specialized warehousing base of 86000 square meters in Hailar District, forming a complete industrial chain operation loop of "raw material supply storage turnover production processing". Its business covers multiple fields such as seed operation, traditional Chinese medicine extraction, and global sales.
It is reported that after the project is put into operation, it will achieve large-scale production capacity output, with an annual production capacity of more than 500 tons of water thistle extract, more than 6800 tons of water thistle meal, 1700 tons of water thistle crude oil, and more than 600 tons of secondary oil. In the next two years, the company will also launch functional foods such as milk thistle nectar and liver protection tablets, health products, and high-end cosmetics, forming a dual promotion pattern of "production capacity landing+product iteration".
The operation of the project will bring significant social and economic benefits: directly providing 100-150 job opportunities, indirectly driving employment of over 300 people in the upstream and downstream industrial chain; Through the "company+farmers" model, it is expected to drive more than 50 households to participate in planting, with an average annual income increase of 50000 to 100000 yuan per household; After stable operation, the annual revenue can reach 130 million yuan, providing support for local finance and agricultural transformation and upgrading.
The person in charge of Kangrui Biology stated that the company will strictly control the quality, progress, and safety of the project to ensure that it can be put into operation as soon as possible. In the future, we will continue to leverage the advantages of the entire industry chain, work together with partners to create a new future for the industry, and contribute to the high-quality development of the region and rural revitalization.
