"To provide quality products for athletes from around the world, we've paid special attention to the selection of excellent varieties of foods, standardized production, quality and safety traceability, as well as efficient logistics and distribution," said Wang Mingxi, a senior manager at the company.

"Herunda was selected by the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee last year as an organic vegetable supplier for the Games after several rounds of investigation, on-site inspection, and expert reviews," Wang added.

Related departments in Qingdao have also carried out regular supervision, guidance and inspection at the company's planting and processing base to ensure that they meet the safety and nutritional requirements of the Beijing 2022 Organizing Committee, Wang said.

Founded in 2005, Herunda mainly engages in agricultural and sideline products planting, processing, storage and sales. The company boasts a 10,000-metric-ton storage warehouse with continuous temperature and humidity control, as well as a 6,000-square-meter processing workshop.
