Responsible production according to a strict code of ethics has powered the growth of a family-owned and operated business that’s made the brand a true icon of our times.

Total Enterprise and our pig farm were founded in 1997 and 2008 respectively. “Not only is food one of the basic survival needs for human life, it also has significant impacts on our well-being. Hence food safety has long been a highly concerned issue in our society,” says Tsoi Wai, founder of Total Group.

The quality of finished food products relies heavily on the quality of their starting materials, thus the privately owned pig farm ensures quality fresh meat for Total Group.

Wai says: “Hong Kong is a very large trade market. To enter this market and let the general public to know us, give the market confidence and gaining a foothold is not easy. In the run up to our 20th anniversary, we’ve experienced many ups and downs, and a large number of competitors have also appeared. Fortunately, Total Group has occupied a certain status amongst its peers, even after the financial turmoil, SARS and the recent “rotten meat” from Basil event, Total Group survived.”

China Prospects

According to Wai, In the last decade, China’s development has been gradually globalized. The mainland’s consumption models and food cultures are blended with both eastern and western styles. “Globalisation not only arouses the Chinese consumers’ interest in international cuisines, it has also increased public acceptability of new and creative food products. To cope with the ever-changing consumer market and the rising living standard of Chinese people, companies must make constant progress in product innovation and keep up with the international catering trends in order to gain a firm foothold in the market.

“Product-wise, we introduced multi-national elements to innovate our products and release specialty food including Western bacon, Taiwanese grilled sausages and stuffed pork balls in curry, catering to the changes in food consumption patterns and tastes. We are now working on the development of green food to build a diversified selection from which consumers can choose its quality food and fresh ingredients.”
