Headquartered in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, Rodobo is one of the largest private companies in the fast growing dairy industry in China. It currently operates a production facility with milk processing capacity of 200 tons per day in Qinggang County in Northeast China, producing high-quality dairy based nutritional products for infants, children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and other adults.

My commenmt = Therefore, at that time annual capacity on a 260 day year, would have been 52,000 tons. Since however, I guess the cows gotta be milked every day, we could be looking at 73,000 tons, 1 year ago.

Currently, Rodobo International is building its own organic dairy farm that will meet international standards and include top technology equipment".

"We focus on providing high quality premium products for all our consumers and the construction of our dairy farm demonstrates the Company's dedication to this vision. We expect that our new and advanced dairy farm will start operating towards the end of fiscal 2009 and this will give us a tremendous competitive advantage in terms of high quality raw milk resources. Being certified as "Green Food" and winning the lucrative prize: Best Quality Control Enterprise of Dairy Products for 2008, reinforces our leading position in the market and we believe that it will be reflected in our financial results".

Here is a comparison with SAIF.

ZhungXing Cattle Husbandry Co. Ltd. to Add 1,800 Head of Cattle Increasing Dairy Production Output up to 23%
GUANGZHOU, China, Nov 04, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sino Agro Food, Inc. (Pink Sheet: SIAF), an emerging integrated, diversified agriculture technology and organic food company with subsidiaries operating in China, is pleased to announce the Company's 78% owned subsidiary ZhungXing Cattle Husbandry Co. Ltd. has paid the required deposit to import 1,800 head of cattle from Uruguay. The shipment is scheduled for delivery February 2010.

The Company currently has 3,500 milking cows in production, 1,400 milking cows on standby, 1,200 in nursery and 880 beef cattle. This latest shipment will bring the total cattle and milking herd to over 8,700. This will represent a 23% increase in dairy production capabilities.

Mr. Lee Solomon, Sino Agro Food, Inc. CEO, stated, "By importing quality cattle from Uruguay, the imported cattle will be used to breed a more productive herd. The breeding cycle takes up to three years, by which time we expect to increase our production from 6.89 tons of milk per cow to 8.5 tons by 2013. This will allow us to increase production while maintaining the same unit cost of production thereby increasing both our gross and net profits."

My comment = So if we assume SAIF will have 8,000 milking cows in 2013 that would be 68,000 tons. I think the problem lies in Rodobo getting listed just when the melamine scandal started.
