Breakthroughs in Digital and Intelligent Development Governance

In August 2025 the State Council’s Opinions on the In-depth Implementation of the “AI+” Initiative set out a clear directive to accelerate AI-driven innovation in breeding systems support intelligent applications in agriculture

including crop cultivation and livestock farming strengthen the platform-based and intelligent management of agricultural machinery and equipment and enhance the application of AI in agricultural production management and

risk prevention helping farmers improve their production and operational capabilities. Actively responding to the national strategy the Company has focused on technology continued to increase R&D investment driven the

transformation and upgrading of the pig industry chain promoted the practical application of IoT big data and artificial intelligence and integrated and promoted advanced and applicable farming technologies contributing to

the digital and intelligent transformation of the pig farming industry.Environmental

In October 2024 Dabeinong Digital Intelligence Corporation was established opening a new chapter in agricultural digital and intelligent transformation.In 2025 the Company’s digital and intelligent development accelerated and delivered results across multiple areas:

April–May: Digital technology service tools for beef cattle and sheep developed by DBN Ruminant Technology Group underwent verification testing and demonstration promotion yielding positive results. The Social

relevant achievements have been registered with and certificated by the National Copyright Administration of the People’s Republic of China as computer software copyright. These digital tools create greater Benefits

value for customers.September: The “Chengben Tong (Cost Manager) (Fattening Pig Edition)” system developed by DBN Feed Group was officially launched. By using this system for cost optimization and management farming

costs can be reduced rapidly while market timing for pig slaughter can be precisely identified to improve farming returns providing robust technological support for high-quality pig farming. Going forward the

Company will accelerate digital implementation and management upgrading continuously iterate and upgrade the system based on customer feedback and technological advances and support high-quality
