Since approximately 2 years, Chinese horticulture (especially the production of high-value vegetables and fruits) is clearly entering a new phase. Keywords are food safety, quality improvement, management/training and production-oriented investment. As the biggest market in the world, China is the market you can’t afford missing.

Since ancient times, agricultural exchanges and products have been the main part of the cooperation between countries on the Silk Road. "The Belt and Road” committed to upholding the global free trade system and an open world economic initiative. Along with the agricultural technology, agricultural products, trade and international cooperation will become the conjunction of the Belt and Road Community with China.

China Green Week will take place on Nov. 20-24th in Shanghai, China. CGW is dedicated to accelerating the development of China's fruit, vegetable and floriculture industry, by means of technology and equipment improvement, talent scouting and community building, branding, as well as facilitating direct trade and purchasing of fresh produce by professional buyers.

During the Week, “China Greenhouse Industry Conference”, “Seeding the Future Horticultural Industry Summit”, “Organic Vegetables and Fruits Regulations and Trends” and a series of events on “Fresh Fruits and Vegetables” would be taken to visitors. A “HORTI CHINA” exhibition, conjunction with Mac Fruit Attraction China in the framework of China Green Week, will be held on Nov. 22nd-24th in National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).
