Give Your Tradeshow Presence a Competitive Advantage

SIAL China is the largest and fastest growing food show in China. Develop business with buyers and decision-makers for both retailand food service in the top U.S. export market.

China has proven to be an appealing and profitable market for U.S. companies for many years. In 2020, the U.S. and China reached an historic and enforceable agreement on a Phase One trade deal. The Phase One agreement includes a commitment by China that it will make substantial additional purchases of U.S. goods and services in the coming years. The Agriculture Chapter addresses structural barriers to trade and will support a dramatic expansion of U.S. food, agriculture and seafood product exports, increasing American farm and fishery income, generating more rural economic activity, and promoting job growth.
