SIAL CHINA to promote trade and innovation in 7 regions

SIAL CHINA, Asia’s largest professional food and beverage exhibition, scheduled for  17 to 19 May 2017 in Shanghai, will host press  conferences  in  seven  regions  and countries in February and March to promote the importance of international food and beverage commerce. Regionally, press conferences will be held in Korea, Taiwan Region, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong S.A.R., while promotional events will be held in more than 13 regions and countries covering Asia, Europe, Australia, and the United States.  

 

From 2010 to 2015, China has imported food products from more than 202 nations to help feed its growing middle class and urban populations, greeting a win-win for many exporters and importers. Three nations, the United States, New Zealand and Brazil, and two regions, European Union and South East Asia (ASEAN) have emerged as the top five food exporters to China. In China, cultural and geographic influence, and the boom of e-commerce have created a surge in the import of fruits and snacks from ASEAN, and convenience 

foods from South Korea and Japan.  

 

 

At SIAL CHINA 2017, a total of 21 food sectors, including four dedicated zones in wine, meat, dairy and beverage will be on display. Also, for the first time at SIAL CHINA, cold chain logistics will occupy one hall (W5), thanks to the increasing market needs and the development of the cold chain industry in China.  

 

“As Asia’s largest professional food and beverage exhibition, we are glad to see the close cooperation and bi-lateral exchange between industry players in China and ASEAN, Japan and Korea. Through the upcoming press conferences in the strategic regions and countries, we would like to communicate with local media, exhibitors and visitors with the latest trends in the China  market, promote the importance  of  food innovation, and invite exhibitors and visitors to share their views and develop their business through our platform.” Said Jim LIU, president of SIAL CHINA.
