GUIYANG - China's leading liquor brand Kweichow Moutai said that its annual liquor output is expected to reach 55,300 tons in 2021.
In 2020, the company's revenue reached nearly 98 billion yuan ($15.4 billion), a year-on-year increase of 10.29 percent, said Gao Weidong, chairman of the board, at the company's 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders on Wednesday.

A sorghum-based spirit, Moutai liquor is considered a luxury item in China.
