On December 18, the 7th Food Capital China Annual Conference was successfully held at the Beijing Huateng Mercure Hotel. The event brought together more than 620 food industry entrepreneurs, founders, and representatives from angel funds and venture capital institutions across China and around the world.

During the conference, two highly anticipated industry rankings were announced: the “2019 China Food Capital Top 25 Most Valuable Enterprises” and the “2019 China Food Capital Top 10 Investment Institutions.”

Among the honorees, Harvest Capital—recognized for its successful investments in leading food‑sector enterprises such as Qiaqia Food, Laiyifen, Eastroc Beverage, and Babi Food—was named a winner of the “2019 China Food Capital Top 10 Investment Institutions” award.

Capital rarely arrives as emergency aid in a crisis; more often, it reinforces those already positioned for growth. For a food company seeking to scale, strengthen, or even pursue an IPO, choosing the right high‑quality investment partner and securing “smart capital” is particularly critical.

For 12 years, Harvest Capital has focused intently on the major consumption and modern service industries, building a deep and extensive presence in essential daily‑life categories such as apparel, food, housing, transportation, and basic necessities. Landmark investments like Qiaqia Food (the first listed nut snack company), Laiyifen (a leading leisure‑food enterprise), and Eastroc Beverage (a national energy‑drink leader) stand as proud successes in Harvest Capital’s portfolio.

Investment in the major consumer sector can generally be divided into two types: investing in people—because how far a company goes depends on the founder’s vision, conviction, strategic insight, and forward‑looking mindset—and **investing in brand and channel strength—enterprises with strong brand equity, solid distribution, and a firm market foundation are highly prized by investors. This dual focus is central to Harvest Capital’s strategy in the food sector.

Against the backdrop of industrial upgrading, the food industry is becoming increasingly capital‑driven, and pursuing an IPO is emerging as a priority for outstanding food enterprises. As a food entrepreneur, it is essential to possess strategic foresight, seize opportunities in a timely manner, and leverage the power of capital to achieve growth. Likewise, as an investment institution focused on food, it is crucial to accurately capture shifting consumer preferences within sub‑categories, partner with industry leaders, and harness the steady returns offered by essential consumption.

Honored by this recognition, Harvest Capital will continue to dedicate itself to the major consumption and modern service industries, deepen its presence in core consumer categories such as food, and maintain its steadfast confidence in China—the world’s largest single consumer market.
