The supplementary provisions permit one same Hong Kong or Macao service provider which has aggregately opened more than 30 stores in the Mainland and traded different types and brands of grains provided by various suppliers to operate as a wholly foreign-owned enterprise within Guangdong province, on a trial basis. The capital contribution ratio of other overseas investors which have aggregately opened more than 30 stores in the Mainland and traded different types and brands of grains provided by various suppliers is still limited to 49%.
