Transcript:

Host: Shandong Nongda Fertilizer Technology Co., Ltd. is a national high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, production, sales, and agrochemical services of innovative functional fertilizers. Since its establishment twenty years ago, Nongda Fertilizer has consistently adhered to the business philosophy of “technology and integrity,” carefully analyzing and refining the needs of millions of farmers, continuously exploring and applying cutting-edge technologies to drive product innovation, and earning a reputation as the preferred choice for high-quality fertilizers among its customers.

Over the years, Nongda Fertilizer Industry has conscientiously and promptly filed and paid its taxes in accordance with the law, never engaging in underreporting or omissions. In 2016, it remitted RMB 33.97 million in taxes and was recognized as one of the “Top 100 Taxpaying Enterprises in Tai’an.” In the first three quarters of 2017, it had already paid over RMB 22 million in taxes.

Ma Xuewen: Operating with integrity is the cornerstone of a company’s long-term development. At the very least, it entails paying taxes in accordance with the law, which is a key manifestation of corporate integrity. Nongda Fertilizer places its commitment to ethical business practices on three pillars: first, in terms of product performance, it must be honest with users by delivering proven results; second, it must be transparent and trustworthy with its employees; and third, it must uphold the same standards of honesty and fairness in its relationships with all business partners.

Host: Nongda Fertilizer Industry has always adhered to the business philosophy of “technology and integrity,” attentively listening to its customers. It not only provides high‑quality products but, together with its more than 10,000 stores and partners nationwide, offers farmers comprehensive, top‑tier services—including finished‑product sales, agrochemical consulting, soil testing and formulation, and agricultural input sales advice.

Ma Xuewen: From its inception, Nongda Fertilizer Industry has set its sights on “safeguarding the reputation of China Agricultural University and building a century‑old enterprise,” adopting a corporate management philosophy that prioritizes technology‑driven innovation, integrates industry–university–research collaboration, and upholds integrity in business operations. Over the years, the company has conscientiously and promptly filed tax returns with the tax authorities in accordance with the law, never once engaging in underreporting or omissions.

Host: Over the years, Nongda Fertilizer Industry has established an integrated system for tax compliance, adhering to the law. First, it has educated all employees to cultivate a strong awareness of lawful tax payment, emphasizing its importance to both the company and the nation, thereby enhancing their adherence to tax laws. The company has also engaged professional tax and financial institutions to provide training and guidance to its management team, enabling them to make informed and compliant use of the tax framework. In addition, the company has implemented a reward-and-penalty incentive mechanism to ensure ongoing compliance with tax regulations.

Ma Xuewen: The development of an enterprise cannot be judged solely by its own profitability. It should also take into account its contributions to the nation, to society, to its employees, and to its customers. Nongda Fertilizer, in addition to conducting business in full compliance with tax laws, is deeply committed to fostering social progress and supporting the growth of local farmers living in poverty.

Host: As it grows and expands, Nongda Fertilizer Industry actively gives back to society, guided by the mission of “enabling more farmers to access higher‑quality fertilizers,” and engages in the research, production, and sale of premium fertilizer products. The company also takes an active role in social welfare initiatives, organizing the “Charity One‑Day Donation” campaign, visiting and offering support to employees facing hardship, establishing the “Nongda Fertilizer Industry” Scholarship, and participating in government‑led targeted poverty‑alleviation programs and village‑enterprise collaborative projects.
