The company

A Nansha company practicing recirculating aquaculture.

Guangzhou Nansha Zhihui Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. (广州南沙智汇农业科技有限公司) is the legal name. On this site the short public brand is PanPan Aqua.

The company was founded in July 2020, according to press accounts published at the Qiuhao product launch in September 2026. Those reports describe it as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangzhou Nansha Modern Agriculture Industry Group Co., Ltd.

The parent group was restructured in August 2021. The Nansha District government website describes the parent as a district-level state-owned group, formed under the Guangzhou Nansha Development Zone Management Committee, and notes that it was recognized in 2025 as a national key leading enterprise in agricultural industrialization.

Public descriptions of Zhihui’s business include factory recirculating-aquaculture operations, pond-relay aquaculture, and modern agricultural park development and operation. The company is the builder and operator of Bay Area Agri Valley (湾区农谷).

Bay Area Agri Valley

A park with a workshop already running, and research buildings still being built.

The project code is 2302-440115-04-01-418726. Planning land is about 34,104 square meters. Published total investment is about RMB 853.1296 million. Chinese reports often write this as about 8.53 yi yuan (8.53 × 100 million). That sum is sometimes loosely rendered in English as 8.5 billion yuan, which is not a precise conversion. The figure covers the park project as a whole, including buildings, and must not be treated as the output of a large commercial fish factory.
