Connecting Global Buyers, Hundreds of Precise Matchings Unlock Global Business Opportunities
Under the new “dual circulation” development paradigm, the 2026 Joint Exhibition has become the preferred international trade platform for efficient global connections in the processing and packaging industry: overseas buyers can access China’s high-quality supply chain in one stop, while domestic professional visitors can gain insights into international cutting-edge technologies and innovative products without leaving the country.
Leveraging over three decades of industry accumulation, the exhibition continues to promote globalization, steadily enhancing its international influence. It has already established strategic cooperation with multiple overseas authoritative institutions, including the Malaysian Entrepreneurs Development Association, the Sabah Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kota Kinabalu), the Uzbekistan Food Industry Association, and the Minsk Branch of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, building a direct trade channel from buyer invitation to on-site matching. Last year, the exhibition hosted a total of 59,213 professional visitors, including 8,169 overseas visitors. This year, it is expected to attract nearly 10,000 overseas buyers from 135 countries and regions, covering the entire spectrum of industries including food, beverages, daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and home appliances.
Furthermore, this joint exhibition has launched a high-profile VIP Buyer Program, which has already gathered over 300 high-quality professional procurement buyers from more than 60 countries and regions worldwide. Invited buyers include overseas enterprises such as MEGA GLOBAL, PT SAVORIA KREASI RASA, CBL FOODS INTERNATIONAL (PVT) LTD, KEMIN INDUSTRIES, MICKEL, FACTO GROUP, ISMAIL INDUSTRIES, and CHEMIST LABORATORIES LTD.
