Food Hotel China

After witnessing a decline in exports to China in 2015, U.S. agricultural and food product exports rebounded in 2016, growing by 7% to USD 25.2 billion in total exports. At 10.83 billion dollars, China is also, according to USDA statistics, the largest importer of agricultural and related products from the Southern United States. Aside from soybeans and coarse grains, the region’s largest export items, pork, processed fruit and tree nuts saw tremendous growth between 2015 and 2016.

Benefitting from improved income levels, westernization and the implementation of the second-child policy are infant food, condiments and sauces, as well as pet food, which saw growth of 238%, 59% and 2,113% respectively. With the market saturated with big established international brands, many importers are looking for new and exotic brands and products to supply the market, and the Southern United States is beginning to turn into a prime supplier for China and this is likely to continue as more buyers discover the region.

Food Hotel China, held for over 20 years in Shanghai, has been widely recognized by the industry players as a leading show for the HRI channel. There were 2,350 exhibitors coming from 40 countries and regions during the 2016 edition including buyers, Food & Beverage managers as well as chefs. It serves as an ideal platform not only for product showcase and procurement but for communication in foodservice solutions as well.
