Early Life
Qian Ying, born in 1965, co-founded Muyuan Foods with her husband, Qin Yinglin. They started their business in 1992 in Qin's hometown with only 22 pigs. Qian holds a degree from the Henan University of Animal Husbandry Economy. Qin was motivated to study pig farming because his father had saved up money and bought 20 pigs, but all but one died.
Rise to Success
Under Qian and Qin's leadership, Muyuan Foods rapidly expanded. By 1994, they had 2,000 pigs, and by 1997, they had 10,000. Muyuan went public in 2014 on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The company's success is rooted in its efficient operations and the rising demand for pork in China.
Key Business Strategies
Muyuan Foods focused on a highly successful contract farming model, partnering with family farms and providing them with resources. The company’s asset-light model allowed for rapid scaling to meet China's substantial demand for meat. Qin Yinglin serves as the company's president and chair.
