History
In 1987, Kuok Khoon Hong was sent to China by his uncle Robert Kuok to explore the market. He noticed that most people there used unbranded soybean oil that was easy to deteriorate and was harmful to health. Kuok believed that there was an opportunity to enter the China grain and oil market.[2]
In 1988, Yihai Group was established under Kerry Oil and Grains and its first cooking oil processing plant was set up in China.[2][3]
