Pursuant to the Agreement, Shandong Fintech agrees to authorize JL to operate its e-commerce store on Pinduoduo and take in charge of associated operation, promotion, marketing, and inventory planning.

To better leverage the Company's advantage of supply chain of agricultural products, the Company plans to sell high-quality rice on its Pinduoduo store at the beginning. With China being the largest producer and consumer of rice globally, accounting for 30% of the total world production and consumption of rice, this partnership presents a significant growth opportunity for the Company. Around 65% of the Chinese population relies on rice as their staple food. In 2021, China produced approximately 214.4 million metric tons of rice, with a harvested area of 30.4 million, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
