The growths underlined Yili's strong growth momentum and potential for 
sustainable development going forward, said the company.

Earlier this year, Yili initiated the vision of a "global health ecosystem" as 
it continues to deepen its global footprint with a view to integrating the best 
resources globally to better meet consumers' health and nutritional needs.

Yili continues to expand presence in Southeast Asian countries such as 
Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Myanmar, offering more diverse product 
choices to local consumers.

In 2018, Yili launched the Joyday ice cream in Indonesia, which is now 
available in major cities across the country and being introduced to more 
Southeast Asian countries.

Its acquisition of Thailand's largest local ice cream company, Chomthana, was a 
major breakthrough for Yili in terms of growing regional production capacity 
and gaining market access. Within one month of post-deal integration, Yili 
helped increase Chomthana's production capacity by more than 30 percent.

As entering the markets in Southeast Asia, Yili adheres to a localization 
strategy and works with local partners to effectively drive local economic 
development, with 85 percent of local employees in Indonesia and Thailand and 
significant local taxation contribution.
