The 2017 edition of SIAL China, Asia’s largest professional food and beverage exhibition, scheduled to take place at Shanghai New International Expo Centre between May 17 and 19. The event will host press conferences in seven Asian regions and countries (namely Korea, Taiwan Region, Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Hong Kong S A R) in February and March to promote the importance of international food and beverage commerce.
Promotional events will be held in more than 13 regions and countries covering Asia, Europe, Australia and the United States.
Between 2010 and 2015, China imported food products from more than 202 nations to help feed its growing middle class and urban populations, creating a win-win for many exporters and importers. Three nations (the United States, New Zealand and Brazil) and two regions (the European Union and Southeast Asia) 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 the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and convenience foods from South Korea and Japan.
“As Asia’s largest professional food and beverage exhibition, we are glad to see the close cooperation and bilateral exchange between industry players in China and ASEAN, Japan and Korea,” said Jim Liu, president, SIAL China.
“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,” he added.
SIAL CHINA received a total of 2,942 exhibitors and 76,986 visitors in 2016, of which 56 per cent of exhibitors were from outside of Mainland China.
The top 10 nations represented at the exhibition included South Korea, the United States, France, Brazil, Australia, Spain, Poland, Argentina, Turkey and Russia.
South Korea, Russia, Thailand, the United States, Australia, Malaysia, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia and Poland were the top 10 countries international visitors came from.
As the largest food and beverage exhibition in Asia, SIAL China is committed to offering an immersive and international experience to exhibitors and professional visitors.
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, thanks to the increasing market needs and the development of the cold chain industry in China.
