Origin: Huaining County, Anhui Province. Huaining is located on one of China’s top ten advantageous agricultural (rice) industry belts. It is a national high-quality rice production base county and one of the country’s major commercial grain base counties, boasting a long history and unique advantages in grain production. During the revolutionary war period, the county was widely known as a major grain-producing area. Jiaxian rice was transported via nearby waterways on the Yangtze River to cities such as Anqing, Wuhu, and Nanjing. As a result, Huaining once became a strategic location contested by armies, with dozens of grain-related conflicts recorded in the local chronicles. After the reform and opening-up, the grain industry in Huaining developed rapidly. The county established a grain production enterprise group with Jiaxian Rice Industry Group as the parent company and township grain stations as subsidiaries. The group operates a modern industrial park covering over 260 acres, equipped with several internationally advanced automated production lines and precision testing equipment imported from renowned manufacturers such as Satake (Japan) and Bühler (Switzerland). These include grading, milling, polishing, and color sorting systems, with an annual rice production capacity of 400,000 tons. The operation integrates contract-based planting, procurement, processing, and sales of raw grains. This move not only made Jiaxian rice a flagship brand product integrated within Anhui Province’s grain industry but also elevated Jiaxian Group to a nationally recognized leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization. Today, Jiaxian rice is sold across more than twenty provinces and cities in China, including Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Nanchang.
