Little known sweet potato producer Zixin Group could be a treat for investors

[SINGAPORE] Catalist-listed Zixin Group is hardly considered a household name on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). The company describes itself as “a leading biotech-focused sweet potato integrated industrial value chain operator in China” – which is a mouthful, and hard for investors to digest.

In essence, Zixin Group researches and produces sweet potatoes, as well as manufactures a range of sweet potato snacks. Analysts believe that the little known company could be a treat for retail investors.

“The stock offers exposure to the growth and expansion of the sweet potato cultivation and sale business in China,” said Alfie Yeo, head of small-mid cap research at RHB Bank Singapore.
