In order to further develop the precooked food industry, related enterprises are now embracing new equipment and technologies.
Zhuhai officials have proposed to further strengthen policy support and resource integration, accelerate the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge economic and trade channel, and assist more precooked food enterprises in opening export channels. The city also plans to expand overseas markets and better promote the development of the precooked food industry.
