Shandong Future Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Shandong Future Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. is a China-based supplier located in Shandong, focusing on aquaculture-related products such as PVC tarpaulin fish ponds, shrimp/fish farming systems, indoor RAS-related equipment, fiberglass/FRP/PP tanks, and filtration-related products. Based on the available data, the supplier has a verified supplier status, a factory area of over 6,100㎡, and more than 20 staff, indicating a small-to-medium operational scale with basic manufacturing and supply capability. Its platform credibility is relatively solid, supported by 3 years as a Gold Supplier, Trade Assurance, Finished Product Inspection, ODM service availability, and Full Customization. Business performance is moderate, with 30+ orders and CN¥676.1K+ transaction value over the past six months, supported by a 5.0 store rating but only 8 reviews. The supplier is suitable for buyers seeking low-MOQ aquaculture systems or customized aquaculture equipment, especially small to mid-sized project buyers. Key limitations include limited review volume and insufficient data on detailed production capacity, export markets, and customer references.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength — 20 Points

Basis

• Company Name: Shandong Future Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd.
• Location: Shandong, China
• Factory Area: 6,100+㎡
• Employees: 20+ staff
• Verified Supplier: True
• Product scope includes fish ponds, shrimp/fish farming systems, indoor RAS-related equipment, tanks, and filtration-related products.

Elaboration

The supplier has a reported factory area of more than 6,100㎡, which suggests it has a physical production or operational base beyond a very small workshop level. However, the employee count is only listed as “20+ staff,” which indicates a relatively lean workforce. This may be sufficient for customized or project-based aquaculture equipment, but it does not clearly demonstrate large-scale mass production capability.

The company is identified as a verified supplier, which provides some confidence that its business and factory-related information has undergone platform-level verification. However, the provided data does not include detailed information on production lines, monthly output, machinery, R&D team size, warehouse capacity, or specific factory audit reports.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier shows a credible physical operating base and verified supplier status, but the combination of 6,100+㎡ factory area and 20+ staff places it closer to a small-to-medium factory profile rather than a large-scale industrial manufacturer. The available information supports basic-to-stable production capability, but the lack of detailed production capacity data prevents a higher score.

Final Score

14 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility — 20 Points

Basis

• Gold Supplier: True
• Gold Supplier Duration: 3 years
• Trade Assurance: True
• Verified Supplier: True
• Certification / Service Labels:
• Warranty available
• Finished product inspection
• ODM service available
• Full customization

Elaboration

The supplier has several important platform credibility indicators. It is a 3-year Gold Supplier and supports Trade Assurance, which gives buyers a platform-backed transaction mechanism. The verified supplier status also strengthens confidence in the supplier’s identity and operational legitimacy.

The available labels are relatively complete from a procurement perspective. “Warranty available” supports after-sales confidence, “Finished product inspection” indicates some level of quality control before shipment, while “ODM service available” and “Full customization” suggest the supplier can support customized or semi-customized aquaculture solutions.

However, the Gold Supplier history is 3 years, which is acceptable but not long enough to be considered a long-established platform track record. No third-party international certifications, management system certifications, or detailed factory audit documents are provided in the dataset.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has the core platform credibility elements: Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance, verified supplier status, and multiple relevant service/quality labels. The main reason for not assigning a higher score is that the Gold Supplier duration is moderate rather than long-term, and there is insufficient data on external certifications or detailed compliance documentation.

Final Score

16 / 20

3. Business Performance — 20 Points

Basis

• Orders in the past 6 months: 30+
• Transaction value in the past 6 months: CN¥676.1K+
• Store rating: 5.0
• Number of reviews: 8

Elaboration

The supplier has recorded more than 30 orders over the past six months, which indicates active commercial operations on the platform. The transaction amount of CN¥676.1K+ suggests a meaningful but not high-volume sales performance. Considering the listed product prices range from lower-cost pond products to higher-value RAS shrimp farming systems, the transaction value appears to reflect moderate business activity.

The store rating of 5.0 is positive and indicates customer satisfaction among existing reviewers. However, the number of reviews is only 8, which limits the statistical reliability of the rating. A perfect score based on a small review base should be interpreted carefully because it may not fully represent long-term buyer satisfaction across different product categories or order types.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier demonstrates moderate business validation with 30+ orders and CN¥676.1K+ in recent transaction value. The 5.0 rating is a strong positive indicator, but the limited number of reviews reduces confidence in broader market acceptance. Overall, this reflects stable but not high-volume platform performance.

Final Score

15 / 20

4. Service Capability — 10 Points

Basis

• Communication response time: ≤2h
• Full customization: Available
• ODM service: Available

Elaboration

The supplier’s response time of ≤2 hours indicates reasonably efficient communication. This is suitable for buyers who require quotation clarification, technical discussion, or customization confirmation within a normal procurement cycle. The availability of Full Customization and ODM service is especially relevant because aquaculture systems often require adaptation to site conditions, tank size, filtration requirements, or project configuration.

However, the response time is not listed as ≤1 hour, which would indicate a stronger service capability under the scoring standard. In addition, the data does not provide information on multilingual support, dedicated account managers, technical documentation support, installation guidance, or after-sales response procedures.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier offers strong customization-related service labels and maintains a reasonable response speed. Since the response time is within 2 hours rather than within 1 hour, and because detailed service infrastructure information is not provided, the supplier fits the upper range of normal service capability rather than the highest service tier.

Final Score

8 / 10

5. Delivery Performance — 10 Points

Basis

• On-time delivery rate: 93.3%

Elaboration

The supplier’s on-time delivery rate of 93.3% is a strong indicator of delivery reliability. According to the scoring standard, an on-time shipment rate above 90% qualifies for the 9–10 point range. This suggests that the supplier has generally been able to meet agreed delivery schedules for recent orders.

However, the dataset does not include supporting details such as average lead time, order complexity, shipment destinations, logistics methods, or whether delays occurred more frequently for customized products. Therefore, while the rate is strong, the assessment is limited to the reported on-time shipment percentage.

Scoring Rationale

A 93.3% on-time delivery rate meets the threshold for strong delivery performance. The supplier deserves a high score in this dimension, although not a perfect score because the data does not provide deeper visibility into lead-time consistency across product types or customized projects.

Final Score

9 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback — 20 Points

Basis

• Store rating: 5.0
• Number of reviews: 8
• Finished Product Inspection: Available
• Verified Supplier: True
• Warranty available: Yes

Elaboration

The supplier has a 5.0 store rating, which is a positive quality and service signal. The availability of Finished Product Inspection indicates that products may undergo inspection before shipment, which is important for aquaculture equipment where defects can affect installation, water containment, filtration performance, or operational reliability.

The verified supplier status adds another layer of confidence, and the “Warranty available” label further supports post-sale assurance. However, the number of reviews is limited to 8, which means customer feedback volume is still low. The data does not include defect rates, inspection standards, third-party test reports, product certifications, warranty terms, return records, or detailed buyer comments.

Scoring Rationale

The supplier has several quality-supporting indicators: a perfect store rating, Finished Product Inspection, verified supplier status, and warranty availability. Nevertheless, the small number of reviews limits the reliability of the customer feedback base. The score is therefore positioned in the “good with basic quality assurance” range rather than the highest tier.

Final Score

16 / 20
