The 9th International Food, Beverage, Wine & Spirits Exhibition in China
Each year SIAL China positions itself as "the event" not to be missed for professionals in the food, beverage, wine and spirits industries in China. Exhibiting at SIAL China is the best means of making your products known and for positioning them directly with the various import/distribution segments in China and Asia including supermarket/hypermarkets, wholesalers, foodservice (hotel/restaurant), importers/trade agents.
No other show in China provides so many proven opportunities to promote your products, build brand awareness and close deals with local trade professionals:
· Pre-scheduled meetings with Carrefour, Metro and Lianhua supermarket buyers
· Trends and Innovations Area
· China’s Wine and Spirits Competition
· OlivAsia, China and Asia’s first olive oil competition
As the world’s most-populated and fastest-growing market, China is an ideal target for many food and agricultural products. With 1.3 billion inhabitants, China represents 20.7% of the world’s population. Shanghai alone accounts for 14% of the Chinese population and a third of its national GDP.
With over 40 companies, the USDA-endorsed USA Pavilion at SIAL China 2007 was one of the most heavily visited pavilions at the exhibition which included 1,097 exhibitors from an unprecedented 62 countries. Over 22,000 trade-only visitors (61% from the Shanghai Region, 34% from the rest of China and 15% international) attended SIALChina in 2007.
