SINO GRANDNESS' beverages (spearheaded by its loquat drinks) have chalked up remarkable sales growth in the past few years.
In 2014, Garden Fresh, the beverage subsidiary, reported revenue of RMB1.877 billion.
China being the vast country it is, sometimes the drinks (produced by Sino Grandness' subsidiary Garden Fresh) are not found in many cities.
The reality is that Garden Fresh beverages can be found if you know which supermarket chains carry them and which cities Garden Fresh has a presence in.
Some shareholders of the company assidously keep a lookout for the drinks when they travel to China and Hong Kong, or they ask travelling friends to report back their search results.
Quite a number of such sightings have been reported on our website, such as: SINO GRANDNESS: Investor checks out HK stores for Garden Fresh drinks
Pictures of the drinks have been shared from locations such as Shenzhen (click here), and Hangzhou (click here).
Recently, a number of other findings have been shared, as follows:
#1: On its Facebook page, Hin Sang (the distributor appointed by Garden Fresh) has publicised that it is making available Garden Fresh loquat drinks and hawthorn drinks in 7-11 stores in HK.
#2: Adrian Lee: "Two friends of mine (now in HK for a short visit) are telling me that more 7-Eleven and wellcome stores are now selling GF juices. They took a picture in one of the outlets and bought some back to the hotel to enjoy."
Garden Fresh's loquat drinks sold in a medical hall near Yau Ma Tei MRT station in HK. Surprising sight.
"But loquat drinks are known for their therapeutic effect on the throat." #3. Adrian Lee: "
#4. Saw Wei Jie: "Photo taken recently at a wellcome store near a HK university by my cousin."
#5. Saw Wei Jie shared a picture from the Facebook page of Strategic CSR Network.
The page said that Strategic CSR Network "has received 1,200 bottles of Garden Fresh Loquat Juice Drink from Hin Sang Group (International) Holding Co. Ltd. Hin Sang took elderly needs into account and especially selected a healthy drink – Garden Fresh Loquat Juice Drink for them."
Strategic CSR Network describes itself as "a not-for-profit organisation established in late 2014. A platform has subsequently been set up that links different parties, including corporations, NGOs/charities and volunteer workers together to serve underprivileged communities in Hong Kong on an ongoing basis."

I think it will be more convincing if you could focus on their sales and competition in the core market which is the mainland china and provide more evidence of loquat drinks bigger presence there....
I also understand garden freshness is not yet ubiquitous in every province this is a sign of concern and source of misunderstandin g among investors. for example, it would be great if we could convince the company to share their actual sale figure, breakdown by province or region in their quarterly result briefings
hope u don't mind my 2cent worth of feedback. i am a minority shareholder of the company.
