S un Mengquan is the founder and chairman of the Luhua Group, a leading Chinese agricultural conglomerate best known for its peanut oil. He began his career in 1983 at a small, struggling metals trading collective in Shandong province with fewer than ten employees. Demonstrating remarkable business acumen, he pivoted the company's focus towards the agricultural sector, initially processing and exporting peanuts before successfully developing a proprietary method for removing aflatoxins from peanut oil, which revolutionized the industry in China.

Under his leadership, Luhua has grown into a household name and a national giant in the edible oil market, with a vast network of production factories across the country. The company has diversified its portfolio to include condiments, noodles, and other food products, emphasizing food safety and quality. Sun's vision transformed a near-bankrupt local collective into a multi-billion dollar enterprise that plays a critical role in China's food security and agricultural processing sector.
