Supplies of flour must get through to consumers during an epidemic

by COFCO, China

During the prevention and control of COVID-19, the regular supply of emergency goods and materials must be ensured.  In the Chinese economic development zone of HaiNing, for example, the COFCO flour industry has a large daily vehicle flow supported by a large number of workers. So, it is very important for the company to do a good job in the service control of each person and each vehicle, in order to win the epidemic war.
 

At 2pm on February 10th, 2020 in COFCO Flour Industry (HaiNing) Co Ltd, nearly 10 large trucks with out-of-town licenses lined up at the plant. Warehouse workers are busy loading trucks, while the truck drivers are being registered with their real names and workers having their temperatures taken in the company’s duty room one-by-one before their trucks are allowed to enter the plant.

COFCO Flour Industry (HaiNing) Co Ltd is the largest flour processing enterprise in Zhejiang Province and processes 2000 tonnes of wheat-per-day, mainly supplying the food processing enterprises in Eastern China.

To ensure normal supply, the company has been back at work since February 4th, 2020 with just 242 employees on-boarding, accounting for half of the total. The company sterilises each vehicle at both the entrance and exit to the compound, along with the dining-room, workshop and other major places twice a day. At the same time, separate meals are served in the dining-room, besides, each employee has to take a temperature test arriving at work and again when leaving work.

It is not only very important to do a great job of internal epidemic prevention, but also to cut off external virus infection, explains Lijun Zhang, the General Manager of COFCO Flour Industry (HaiNing) Co Ltd.

After the company returned to work, an average of about 20 customer pickup trucks enter the plant each day, which is also the company's top priority in the prevention and control of the epidemic.
