Food Exhibition has noted that Anbu Town, Chaozhou, Guangdong, has developed into a major food industry town with annual sales exceeding 10 billion yuan, relying on a complete industrial chain and innovation-driven development. In 2024, the sales volume of enterprises above designated size in the food and supporting industries in the town reached 10.7 billion yuan, with candy exports amounting to nearly 1.5 billion yuan, accounting for 30.94% of Guangdong Province's total candy exports and ranking first in the province. It is reported that Anbu has formed a full-chain collaborative innovation model from raw material research and development to production and packaging, with a new candy taking as little as one week from conception to launch.

In terms of healthy food innovation, enterprises in Anbu have shown strong vitality. Guangdong Xinle Food Co., Ltd. adopts pharmaceutical-grade standard production lines. The company cooperates with well-known global suppliers, with sorbitol sourced from international leading manufacturers and dairy raw materials purchased from large-scale dairy producers in the industry, ensuring product quality from the source. Its "Urban Ranch" sugar-free mint candy series has become a popular "refreshing item" for young consumers in the office.

Guangdong Youzhi Weipin Biotechnology Co., Ltd.'s iron box-packed Zhenguo Juice Hard Candy contains 15% real fruit juice. It retains vitamin C through technological breakthroughs and is known as "chewable fruit juice," having entered more than 2,000 snack stores across the country. This year, it launched sandwich sugar-free probiotic candy, with each box containing 18 billion active probiotics, which is beneficial to oral health. With the help of automated production lines, its production efficiency has increased by 50%, with a daily output of 30,000 bottles per production line.

Guangdong Haiyi Health Technology's "Chunran Xindong" brand offers functional products such as sugar-free and collagen peptide products, mainly sold through emerging snack store channels, which account for 60% of its domestic market. The enterprise has also collaborated with catering chains such as Haidilao and Tanyu to develop the "Catering Companion" series and is expanding into overseas markets such as countries along the "Belt and Road" and North America.

Industrial upgrading is inseparable from sound supporting facilities. Anbu Town has 1,200 packaging and printing enterprises, including 65 enterprises above designated size, forming a complete industrial chain. The "breathable" film developed by Guangdong Baojiali New Materials can keep prepared dishes fresh for a week, and the imported German BOPET film production line has filled the gap in local raw materials. Lidian Machinery independently developed high-precision packaging machines with an error of no more than 0.01 grams, providing intelligent solutions for food enterprises. This efficient collaboration of "research and development - production - packaging" makes Anbu a veritable "candy dream factory."

Chao'an District regards the food industry as an important part of implementing the "Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, Ten Thousand Villages High-Quality Development Project" and is committed to building a "world-class candy town." Food Exhibition understands that from healthy candy research and development to intelligent production, from packaging innovation to channel expansion, Anbu is promoting the transformation of traditional food manufacturing into a modern industrial cluster, injecting sustained impetus into local economic development.
