The Gansu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology recently released a public notice regarding the 2026 allocation plan for central financial funds aimed at supporting the high-quality development of specialized and sophisticated small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). According to the list, Dayu Water-Saving (Jiuquan) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Dayu Group, has been successfully selected as a national-level Key "Little Giant" enterprise, securing central financial support for dedicated projects. This marks a significant breakthrough for Dayu Group in the national cultivation tier for high-precision enterprises. In 2021, Dayu Water-Saving (Jiuquan) Co., Ltd. was recognized as a national-level specialized and sophisticated "Little Giant" enterprise. Now, it has been designated a Key "Little Giant" enterprise. This shift in terminology highlights Dayu Group's deep technical accumulation and innovative breakthroughs in the fields of agricultural water-saving technology and intelligent manufacturing of water conservancy equipment. It also signifies authoritative national recognition and full endorsement of the group's pivotal role in the water security and agricultural modernization industrial chains.
Selecting the Best: "Three New and One Strong" to Build a Benchmark for New Quality Productive Forces
The designation of a Key "Little Giant" enterprise is not a simple honorary addition. It represents a national process of selecting the best from the existing specialized and sophisticated "Little Giant" enterprises through precise empowerment. The policy's origin can be traced back to the "Notice on Supporting the High-Quality Development of 'Specialized and Sophisticated' SMEs," jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Subsequently, the two departments released a series of documents, including the "Notice on Further Supporting the High-Quality Development of Specialized and Sophisticated SMEs," to precisely guide resources toward companies with strong innovation capabilities and critical positions in the industrial chain. According to the selection mechanism, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Finance directly choose Key "Little Giant" enterprises. The evaluation criteria are exceptionally high and rigorous, requiring companies to focus on the "Three New and One Strong" framework: Creating New Momentum by building new engines for high-quality development through technological innovation and digital transformation; Conquering New Technologies by breaking through key core technologies in "bottleneck" areas; Developing New Products by iterating high-value-added products to meet major national strategic needs; and Strengthening Industrial Chain Supporting Capabilities by reinforcing the foundation of industrial infrastructure and enhancing the resilience of the industrial chain. In the division of labor within the industrial chain, Key "Little Giant" enterprises must undertake the core mission of "filling gaps, strengthening strengths, and filling blanks," becoming the vanguard in significantly enhancing China's industrial foundation capabilities and the modernization level of the industrial chain. Dayu Water-Saving (Jiuquan) Co., Ltd., as the birthplace of Dayu Group and its core equipment manufacturing base, stood out from numerous outstanding applicant companies nationwide. This success is due to its excellent performance over many years in agricultural water-saving equipment manufacturing, drip irrigation technology iteration, and industrial supporting capabilities, perfectly aligning with the national positioning requirements for Key "Little Giant" enterprises.
Three-Wheel Drive: Adhering to the Strategy of "Width of One Centimeter, Depth of Ten Kilometers"
For thirty years, facing the pain points of agricultural water resource scarcity and low utilization efficiency in the industry, Dayu Group has consistently adhered to the strategic focus of "width of one centimeter, depth of ten kilometers." Avoiding blind diversification and impatience for quick results, the group has dedicated all its resources and energy to the water-saving cause. Starting from the edge of the Gobi Desert in the Hexi Corridor, it has gradually grown into a leading enterprise in China's water-saving industry. Through long-term practice, Dayu Group has developed a unique competitive advantage driven by a "three-wheel drive" strategy: Technological Innovation + Model Innovation + Industrial Chain Integration, breaking away from the traditional water-saving enterprise model of simply selling equipment. In terms of Technological Innovation, the company annually produces 5 million kilometers of drip irrigation products and intelligently manufactures over 1,700 types of water-saving equipment. It has mastered key core technologies in multiple fields, including drip and sprinkler irrigation, integrated water and fertilizer management, digital twin irrigation areas, "four-prediction" systems for flood and drought disasters, dense crop planting, saline-alkali land treatment, and acoustic wave precipitation enhancement. For Model Innovation, centered on the "Six Mechanisms," the group continuously promotes a "two-handed approach" with "water-saving priority." This allows the market to gradually bring capital, technology, and efficiency into the investment and operation of irrigation area water-saving projects. In Industrial Chain Integration, Dayu Group was the first in the water-saving industry to integrate full industrial chain capabilities, encompassing planning and design, investment and financing, intelligent manufacturing, construction and delivery, informatization, operation and maintenance services, and water-saving agricultural planting. The goal is not only to save water but also to achieve synergy among grain production increases, higher farmer incomes, and ecological improvement through precise water and fertilizer regulation, deeply embedding Dayu's products and technologies into the vast landscape.
Riding the Crest: Serving National Water Network Construction with Specialized and Sophisticated Excellence
Water security ensures national security, and water conservancy leads to abundant grain. Currently, China is at a critical juncture in its transition from a "major agricultural country" to a "strong agricultural country." The construction of high-standard farmland is accelerating, investment in water conservancy infrastructure remains at a high level, and the development of digital twin water conservancy projects is fully underway. Agricultural water-saving and water conservancy modernization are facing unprecedented historical opportunities. Standing at this new historical starting point, Dayu Group will continue to uphold its corporate mission of "making agriculture smarter, rural areas better, and farmers happier." Closely following the "Three New and One Strong" policy direction, the group will further consolidate its core advantages across the entire industrial chain. By maintaining its specialized and sophisticated focus and deeply cultivating the land of China, Dayu Group aims to contribute its scientific and innovative strength to securing the bottom line of national food security and serving the construction of the national water network.
