WUHAN CITY, China, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Renmin Tianli Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABAC) ("Renmin Tianli" or the "Company"), a producer of breeder hogs, market hogs and black hogs, as well as specialty processed black hog pork products sold through retail outlets and the internet, with headquarters in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, today announced that, on April 30, 2018, it completed the acquisition of a 10% equity interest in Youyang County Jinzhu Forestry Development Co. Ltd. ("Jinzhu Forestry"), a bamboo cultivation and processing facility located in Youyang County, Chongqing, for a total consideration of RMB 18 million (approximately $2.8 million) and 2,000,000 shares of Renmin Tianli's common stock. The acquisition was accomplished by acquiring all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Chongqing Kangduo Commercial Trade Co., Ltd., a private corporation which holds 10% of the outstanding equity of Jinzhu Forestry.
Jinzhu Bamboo commenced operations in April 2016. It currently operates a bamboo plantation of approximately 3,853.5 mu (approximately 635 acres) on which it will construct a bamboo processing facility. Bamboo is a fast-growing plant which can be used as a substitute for wood in a variety of uses, including flooring, furniture and as a construction material. The cultivation of bamboo is an activity favored by the Chinese Government, particularly as the country attempts to expand its forests. Although Jinzhu Forestry is anticipated to begin generating operating profits within the next two years, for 2016 and 2017 it operated slightly below break-even.
