As an international food trading hub, Hong Kong provides food companies with an ideal gateway to the Chinese Mainland and global markets. For the first time, the two trade fairs bring together exhibitors from all ASEAN member states, including debut participations from Brunei and Timor-Leste. We are also delighted to welcome exhibitors from Colombia and Greece for the first time. In addition, the Agricultural Trade Promotion Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China has organised delegations from multiple provinces and municipalities to showcase premium agricultural products, using Hong Kong as a platform to expand overseas.”

The Korea Pavilion has expanded by 40% compared to last year, hosting more than 130 exhibitors to make it the largest overseas pavilion at the fairs.
