As we all know, there are two national associations in the fruit industry in China. One is China Chamber of Commerce of I/E of Foodstuffs，Native Produce and Animal By Products (CFNA), and the other is China Fruit Marketing Association (CFMA).
The two organizations have different characteristics based on different backgrounds. CFNA focuses on the import and export business. The members of CFNA's fruit branch basically include major domestic fruit importers and exporters.
CFMA focuses more on the cultivation and distribution of domestic fruits in the domestic market. The scale of the association is much larger, and its members are spread across the country.
In recent years, under the trend of domestic consumption improvement and supply-side reform, the intersection between the imported fruit industry and the domestic fruit industry has become more and more extensive, resulting in a close link between the two associations.
The entry of high-quality fruits from around the world into the Chinese market not only gives Chinese consumers more choices, but also brings inspiration to the domestic fruit industry. At the same time, with more funds and talents entering the field of domestic fruit cultivation, the varieties and quality of domestic fruit have made a qualitative leap.
Moreover, this qualitative leap is taking place throughout the country. New varieties are exploding, and the moment of boom for China's fruit industry has arrived.
In order to better serve the entire fruit industry in China, CFNA and CFMA agreed to strengthen and deepen the original cooperation. On the basis of the “China International Fruit Conference”, the Shanghai International Fruit Exhibition will be jointly held and the Shanghai International Fruit Exhibition will be upgraded. The name of the new expo will be changed to “International Fruit Expo 2023”, and it will be held from September 1 to 3 in Guangzhou.
The merger of the two fruit organizations will further enhance industry exchanges and promote the development of the industry.
The decision to hold the event in Guangzhou, on the one hand, is due to its important position in the field of fruit circulation in China, on the other hand, it is to facilitate our
exhibitor to participate in the Asian Fruit and Vegetable Fair held in Hong Kong later. Two exhibitions held before and after, will form a "golden week" in the fruit industry.
During the three years of the pandemic, fruit people around the world have not had the opportunity to get together, and this time we all have to make up for it!
