CONCEPT
China’s incredible economic growth has had a significant impact
on the performance of the Chinese food industry.
This is the World’s largest food market, with sector growth
in the double digits.
Successful marketing has created a blend of Western and Chinese
brands. Demand for increasingly complex ingredients, enhanced quality
and better packaging from the expanding, ever-more sophisticated
customer base have lead to big investments in local production.
FS: China is the leading print medium used by
international suppliers to link directly with China’s food
industry and build value in their products and services.
Competition is fierce as local processors and retailers fight for
market share. FS: China will help suppliers reach
the right people at this critical time for China’s food industry.
