The subject and Luxuriant are edible oil and sesame seed traders.  They own two factories in China for processing sesame oil and other related sauces.  Their factories are located at Shanwei City of Guangdong Province and Hubei Province.  As Hubei Province is the production centre of sesame seed, it provides an appropriate condition for selecting good raw materials.  The subject’s plant located at Hubei where is the main sesame seeds cropping region in the Mainland China.

Together with its over 30 years experience in manufacturing sesame oil, Luxuriant has had the competitive advantages in the global market.
