NCDA&CS and SUSTA are offering to southern U.S suppliers of high-value food products an opportunity to meet one-on-one with a delegation of top Chinese retail and food service buyers. This event is open to all Southern US States and space is limited. Be sure to register now!

As the world’s most populated and fastest growing market, China is an ideal target for many food and agricultural products. China, with the world's largest population and one of the fastest growing economies, has recently opened its markets up further to foreign players, following its entry to the World Trade Organization. Average household incomes are rising strongly. This is leading to ever greater consumer demand, especially for products and services previously considered luxuries.
