COFCO Tunhe Tomato Paste
Changji City is located at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, and on the southern edge of the Junggar Basin. It falls within the mid-temperate zone and features a typical continental arid climate, characterized by cold winters, hot summers, and large diurnal temperature variations. The area has deep soil layers, good drainage, rich organic matter content, and a soil pH of 6–7, making it highly suitable for tomato growth—it is one of the most favorable regions in the world for tomato cultivation. Currently, China has become the world’s third-largest tomato producer, after the United States and Italy, and its tomato industry is referred to as the “red industry.”
