China: American Food and Agriculture Pavilion Makes Strong Debut at CIIE

The China International Import Expo (CIIE) is a trade-focused exposition hosted by the People's Republic of China (PRC) Ministry of Commerce and the Shanghai Municipal Government. This expo aims to boost the consumption of imported products. Given the high-profile endorsement by the PRC government, the event attracts extensive participation from international companies across various sectors. The FAS Agricultural Trade Office at the U.S. Consulate Shanghai (ATO Shanghai), together with the American Chamber of Commerce Shanghai, hosted the inaugural American Food and Agriculture Pavilion with 17 U.S. agricultural companies and trade organizations. Our participation garnered substantial media attention and successfully facilitated the signing of purchase deals exceeding $500 million through a series of business matchmaking sessions.
