According to some of the visitors, the show is known in China for the quality of its lectures on the fresh produce industry. “Topics are relevant, and the show manages to gather an interesting mix of speakers of different backgrounds,” said a visitor from Shandong. Lectures and seminars touched upon various topics, including the current state of the Chinese fresh produce market, logistics and data, production and marketability of domestic and import products, such as Chinese apples and pears and Egyptian citrus, and a review of inspection and quarantine policies.

The organisation itself was pleased with the outcome of the B2B meetings it organised during the three days: “the number of B2B business meetings we managed to schedule was substantially larger than last year. We facilitated over 120 meetings during the three days.”
In addition, foreign exhibitors expressed that the major draw of the show to them is the opportunity to meet with officials from the China Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Association and the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the PRC. Both organisations can help to facilitate market access to the country. “Having multiple meetings with different representatives arranged, with the help of translators, is a hopeful step in the process towards market access,” according to a delegation from South Africa.

Finally, a number of domestic stand holders were disappointed by the number of visitors: “day one and the beginning of day two were relatively busy. It was quite crowded with visitors after the Opening Ceremony. However, after the start and into the second day, visitor numbers dropped.”
It is said that the show will be moving to the centre of Beijing next year.
