Group 3: Subsidy Program Impact - The primary reason for the performance decline is attributed to the fertility subsidy program launched in early April, which involves a special fund of 1.2 billion yuan to provide at least 1,500 yuan in milk powder subsidies to eligible pregnant families nationwide [4]. - The subsidy program allows pregnant women over 26 weeks to claim milk powder, and in June, Feihe expanded the subsidy to families with babies under 12 months who have not previously purchased Feihe's infant formula [5].
