defining a new future for green agriculture with insect protein technology

On December 3, 2025, the "2025 Unicorn Companies 500 Conference," themed "Innovation as the Core, Collaboration for Development," was held in Qingdao. At this grand event gathering cutting-edge global innovation, Sino Crown Bioengineering Co., Ltd., a company with 23 years of experience in bioengineering, was successfully recognized as a "2025 China Hidden Unicorn Company" thanks to its disruptive "waste-to-treasure" core technology and mature industrial solutions. This recognition is not only an authoritative endorsement of the company's technological strength but also signifies that the model of driving systemic agricultural transformation with green circular technology has been recognized as a key component of new quality productivity.

Solving a Dual Challenge: A Green Revolution Through Technology 

Currently, global agriculture faces the dual pressures of resource constraints and environmental protection: on the one hand, traditional feed protein sources (such as soybean meal and fishmeal) face supply shortages and ecological controversies; on the other hand, the disposal of massive amounts of organic waste has become an environmental burden. Xinong Kangyuan provides a "Chinese solution" to this dual challenge.

The company's core breakthrough lies in utilizing proprietary biotechnology to efficiently produce high-quality functional insect protein powder from organic matter such as kitchen waste and agricultural waste through insect biotransformation. This process creates a perfect green closed loop: waste is utilized as a resource, while high-value protein products are produced simultaneously. Its core technological value lies not only in significantly reducing the carbon footprint and environmental burden of the livestock industry, but also in providing the industry with a new nutritional option that is healthier and more effective through the naturally abundant antimicrobial peptides and unsaturated fatty acids in insect protein.

From Technology to Industry: A Blue Ocean of Value Empowered by Multiple Tracks

Sino Crown's competitiveness extends far beyond a single environmental technology. Its true "unicorn" potential lies in the enormous empowering value and commercial scalability demonstrated by this technology in several key tracks:

1. Driving the Green Upgrade of the Feed Industry: Providing efficient and safe alternative protein solutions for aquaculture, livestock, and pet farming, helping to reduce dependence on imported bulk protein raw materials, and building a more resilient and sustainable supply chain system from the source.

2. Becoming the Core Engine of Circular Agriculture: Its biological treatment model is an ideal link in the development of green ecological agriculture and organic agriculture, providing a profitable and replicable industrialization path for the commercial treatment of urban and rural organic waste.

3. Opening Up a New Raw Material Track for the Big Health Industry: Insect protein, as an emerging super nutrient source, has broad application prospects in high-end functional foods and special dietary foods, successfully connecting agricultural technology with the big health industry.

Strategic Alignment and Global Opportunities: The Vast World of Hidden Champions

Sino Crown's business model precisely aligns with multiple national strategic directions and demonstrates enormous global market potential:

- A Technological Engine for Rural Revitalization: As a key national high-tech and rural revitalization project, the company brings cutting-edge biotechnology to rural areas, transforming environmental burden into green industry and injecting high-value technological momentum into county-level economies.

- An Ideal Solution for the "Belt and Road" Initiative: Its technology has outstanding advantages of "small footprint, grain saving, and environmental protection," highly aligning with the urgent needs of many countries along the "Belt and Road" to improve agricultural efficiency, ensure food security, and improve the ecological environment. The award presented at this conference by the director of the Pakistan-China Center vividly demonstrates the strong overseas potential and international cooperation space of its technological solutions, and is expected to become a benchmark for the export of Chinese green agricultural technologies.

- Chinese Wisdom in Addressing Global Issues: Facing the global challenges of food security and climate change, Xinong Kangyuan represents a replicable and sustainable circular economy paradigm, providing not only products but also future-oriented system solutions.

Outlook: From Technology Leader to Ecosystem Builder

Recognized as a "Hidden Unicorn," Zhang Zhaoxin, Chairman of Xinong Kangyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., stated: This is a milestone in Xinong Kangyuan's 23 years of focused innovation, and a new starting point for its transition from technology leadership to industrial ecosystem leadership. In the future, the company will continue to deepen R&D, expand application boundaries, and strive to build a complete industrial ecosystem covering technology R&D, standardized production, and global market application.

Sino Crown's case proves that the most powerful innovation stems from a profound response to the fundamental needs of human society. It is not only a feed revolution in the aquaculture industry, but also a vivid practice of Chinese technology companies participating in global ecological governance and contributing wisdom to sustainable development through independent innovation, writing a new chapter that unifies economic benefits, social value and ecological benefits.
