The group continued to grow its revenue and achieved a revenue representing an increase of RMB 10.8 million or 26% as compared to RMB 42.0 million in 2017. This was mainly due to higher customer demand for concentrated fruit juices reflected by its higher sales volume, partially offset by the lower average selling price of the concentrated fruit juices in 2018 attributable to intense market competition.
