Sugar company CEO has dreams of sweet success

A largely agricultural city in the underdeveloped western part of Guangdong province, Zhanjiang stands poised for massive economic growth in the next three years.

While the main drivers of this development are two large-scale petrochemical and steel projects, the modernization of the city's traditional agriculture industry also plays a part, the president of a local giant in the sugar industry said.

Lin Shuixi, founder and president of Jinling Group, said the company plans to build a processing plant for refined sugar by 2016 to increase the added value of its exports.
