Xuzhou & The Huabei Plains

The Huaibei Plain is considered the breadbasket of China. It is home to nearly 110 million residents. At its core is the prefecture of Xuzhou surrounded by fertile lands in northern Jiangsu and Anhui, eastern Henan, and southern Shandong provinces. It has the highest agricultural output in China and a growing manufacturing base.

The younger more educated populace have moved away from this area to more dynamic urban markets which has left this region with a net loss of over 20 million initial residents. However, there are five prefectures that had received over one billion USD in foreign investment and one prefecture receiving over two billion.

This report looks at all the parts that make up this region, and in fact there are a-number-of city districts that tend to rise above the rest of the region where retailers such as Starbucks, Uniqlo, Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonalds, and even some BMW dealerships have gone into. We will highlight these areas, and report which places offer some of the best business opportunities and segments that stand out.

Some industries that currently stand out are energy, mining, food processing, animal husbandry, and since Covid household savings deposits have gone up considerably, and with this pent-up consumerism certain fields such as the auto market are expected to grow considerably.

In this report, we provide you with all the numbers you need breaking down our data to the city, district and county levels across a range of demographic, retail, economic and wellness numbers that will give you one of the best overviews of the Huaibei Plain region.
