She said that in recent years, leveraging its unique geographic advantages, comprehensive industrial system, and first-class business environment, Kunshan has applied the industrial chain coordination capabilities it honed through precision manufacturing to the “soft” food sector, attracting more than 300 leading food companies with a combined output value exceeding 100 billion yuan.
