Worldex China and Fiera Milano Group recently held a press conference to introduce the “China Guangzhou International Food and Beverage Trade Fair (Food Hospitality World) 2012” which will take place from November 29 to December 1, 2012, at Poly World Trade Expo Center in Guangdong, China. The organizers also invited Thai traders and exporters to exhibit or visit the fair as this will be a valuable opportunity for creating new business relations and extending markets in China.
As Fiera Milano’s International Department Manager, Mr. Francesco Santa introduced the Group as the leading trade fair organizer in Italy and one of the largest in the world, with complete readiness to provide exhibition venues, facilities, media and relevant services. Having partners and affiliated companies in many countries, Fiera Milano organized more than 100 exhibitions in Italy, Brazil, China, India and Russia throughout 2011. Most of the events were aimed at promoting business-to-business (B2B) relations for various industries with a total of more than 30,000 participating exhibitors.
“We’re confident that the collaboration with Asia’s front-row exhibition organizer like Worldex Group of Exhibition Companies will lead to the success of this upcoming food show,” he said.
“The China Guangzhou International Food and Beverage Trade Fair (Food Hospitality World) 2012 will reveal more about China’s potential as one of the world’s highly promising markets and manufacturers. Together with fostering international trade, the fair will also be a channel for small businesses to extend their markets.”
Ms. Wenwen Jiang, Deputy General Manager of Worldex China, said that China Guangzhou International Food and Beverage Trade Fair (Food Hospitality World) 2012 would be the first international and professional food show in South China, with the main objective of being an integrated venue for B2B meetings. It will also be an expeditious way to explore the food and beverage market, as well as promoting products to penetrate into the Chinese market.
“The fair will be organized in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, which is the gateway to Southern China and the most prosperous and economically advanced province,” said Ms Jiang.
“The total export-import volume of Guangdong accounts for a quarter of total national export-import volume, while its gross domestic product (GDP) has been in the lead for decades, accounting for more than 10 per cent. Guangdong was also the first province in China to implement the reform and opening-up policy, resulting in its international perspective and its people’s relatively open attitude towards foreign food products and health foods.”
She added that Guangdong was the leading province of the Pan-Pearl River Delta Region, known as the 9+2, which comprises Guangdong, Hainan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macau.
“This region is the most economically dynamic in China, with a population of more than 456 million, or 34.8 per cent of total population, and GDP of US$1.96 trillion, or more than a third of national GDP. It is undoubtedly a high-potential market with enormous opportunities for Thai businesses,” she said.
Supported by the Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Guangzhou Municipality and the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce of Importers & Exporters, the fair will provide an exhibition space of 15,000 square metres to showcase a wide range of food and beverage products, including health foods, organic foods, traditional food products, confectionery and snacks, processed fruits, soya products, seafood, meat, seasonings, dairy products, beverages, alcoholic drinks, and related products and services for catering. The organisers expect 10,000 trade visitors and 20,000 public visitors to the fair.
Mr. Zhi Cai Zheng, Executive Director of the Guangdong Institute of Food Science and Technology, said that the Cantonese cuisine had been globally appreciated as one of the eight distinct traditions of Chinese cuisines, but the Chinese people’s demand for new, quality food products from abroad had also been rising.
“Today, there are over 600 million Chinese living in the urban areas and they spend as much as 36.7 per cent of their income on buying food. If Thai business operators study the market thoroughly and comply with regulations and business traditions in China, I believe they will find great success in this massive market.
“As the value of trade between Thailand and China keeps going upwards and this year it amounts to US$28 billion, a tenfold increase from ten years ago, Thailand and China have reached an agreement on bilateral currency swap. This will further facilitate transactions between the two countries, reduce risks from the volatile US dollar, and certainly be advantageous to mutual commerce and investment in the future,” he said.
China Guangzhou International Food and Beverage Trade Fair (Food Hospitality World) 2012 will take place from November 29 to December 1, 2012. For business operators interested in exhibiting products or visiting the fair, please contact Worldex GEC Co., Ltd at 02-6646488 or visit www.gzfoodshow.com
