Forging a Powerful Alliance: Netafim and Juyou Xinda Unite to Reshape the Future of Smart Agriculture

Subtitle: A Landmark Strategic Meeting Paves the Way for Integrated, High-Efficiency Greenhouse Solutions on a Global Scale

In an era defined by a growing global population, climate volatility, and the urgent need for sustainable food production, collaboration is not just an advantage—it is a necessity. It is against this backdrop that a truly significant partnership was set in motion. On October 14, 2024, our company, Juyou Xinda, was honored to receive a high-level delegation of senior representatives from Netafim, the global pioneer of drip irrigation, visiting from their world headquarters in Israel and their regional office in Shanghai, China. This was not a routine courtesy visit; it was a focused, in-depth strategic session aimed at exploring and cementing a long-term, symbiotic partnership. The discussions were dedicated to jointly mapping a transformative new blueprint for the future of agricultural development, one that leverages the unique strengths of both industry leaders.

The atmosphere throughout the day was one of mutual respect, shared vision, and constructive dialogue. The meeting commenced with a comprehensive review of both companies' illustrious histories and core competencies, establishing a solid foundation of understanding and respect. Netafim’s representatives detailed their journey since 1965, originating the drip irrigation revolution that has since transformed farming in over 110 countries. They emphasized their core strength: not just in providing irrigation products, but in delivering "more crop per drop," a philosophy deeply embedded in their cutting-edge R&D, smart irrigation systems, and data-driven agronomic solutions.

In turn, Juyou Xinda showcased its evolution into a leading force in China's greenhouse industry. We highlighted our integrated, end-to-end capabilities that span the entire project lifecycle—from initial custom design and precision manufacturing to full-scale Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)

turnkey services. Our portfolio of robust, high-performance greenhouse structures, designed to withstand diverse climatic conditions, stood as a testament to our engineering prowess and commitment to quality.

Delving into the Synergy: A Meeting of Minds and Technology

The core of the strategic discussions revolved around the powerful synergy between Netafim’s precision irrigation technology and Juyou Xinda’s structural and project management expertise. The potential areas for collaboration were examined in comprehensive and granular detail, revealing a clear path for a mutually beneficial alliance.

Netafim’s Commitment: The Pulse of Precision

As a globally revered innovator, Netafim has committed to leveraging its state-of-the-art technology to provide our company with professional, high-efficiency greenhouse irrigation solutions. This goes beyond a simple supplier relationship. It entails a deep technological partnership where Netafim will offer:

• Tailored Irrigation Systems: A diverse range of high-quality irrigation products, from pressure-compensating drippers and advanced filtration systems to sophisticated fertigation units, all selected and configured for optimal performance within our specific greenhouse environments.

• Smart Technology Integration: Incorporating their digital farming platforms, which allow for real-time monitoring and control of irrigation, nutrition, and climate. This data-driven approach ensures that every plant receives the exact water and nutrients it needs, precisely when it needs it, maximizing yield and quality while minimizing waste.

• Unparalleled Agronomic Support: Access to Netafim’s vast reservoir of agronomic knowledge and expert support, ensuring that the irrigation systems are not just installed but are optimized for the specific crops grown within our greenhouse projects.

Our Commitment: The Framework of Excellence

As a leader in China's greenhouse sector, Juyou Xinda will fully utilize its integrated, full-industry-chain capabilities to provide Netafim with comprehensive, turnkey greenhouse project solutions. This partnership empowers us to offer a truly holistic package to the market:

• Integrated Design and Manufacturing: We will design and manufacture greenhouse structures that are pre-optimized to seamlessly integrate with Netafim's irrigation and climate control systems. This eliminates compatibility issues and ensures peak performance from day one.

• EPC Project Excellence: Our proven EPC model will be deployed to manage entire projects from conception to completion. This provides Netafim and our joint clients with a single point of responsibility, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards, effectively supporting their global market expansion and project implementation.

• A Unified Solution: Together, we can offer the market a complete "smart greenhouse" package—a high-performance structure powered by the world's most efficient irrigation and control systems. This is a value proposition that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Charting a New Chapter for Global Agriculture

This high-level meeting marks a definitive new chapter in the collaboration between our two companies. We firmly believe that this strategic alliance, built so solidly on the bedrock of complementary strengths and shared resources, will inject sustained growth momentum for both sides, achieving long-term mutual benefits and a definitive win-win outcome.

The implications for the global agricultural sector are profound. By uniting our expertise, we are poised to accelerate the adoption of modern agricultural practices, helping growers worldwide to:

• Increase Crop Yields and Quality through a perfectly controlled growing environment.

• Conserve Precious Water Resources by applying precision irrigation at its most effective.

• Enhance Operational Efficiency and Profitability by reducing input costs and labor.

Together, Juyou Xinda and Netafim are not just entering a business partnership; we are combining our strengths to contribute significantly to the high-quality development and transformation of modern agriculture worldwide. We are building a more resilient, productive, and sustainable future for all, one greenhouse at a time. We eagerly anticipate sharing more updates on this exciting partnership in the coming months.
