Join the EU agri-food business delegation to China

How to participate?

Interested applicants are welcome to register now, deadline to apply is 19 December 2023.

Practical questions can be addressed to the Research Executive Agency at the following email address: REA-AGRI-EVENTS@ec.europa.eu.

The Commissioner would like to include in his business delegation European and national producers’ organisations and companies from all EU Member States with strong export potential that preferably have not participated in such EU projects before. The final selection of the business representatives will be based on product and geographical balance of the delegation. In this context the candidates’ representativeness of a given sector, their capacity to conduct international business and accessing challenging markets will also be considered.

The visit to China will concentrate on providing market intelligence in the food and beverage sector, business-to-business activities, as well as retail and site visits. The programme of the business delegation will provide the representatives of the European agri-food sector with an excellent platform to discover the Chinese market and to make direct business contacts both in Shanghai as well as in Shenzen (mainly at Anuga Select China fair).

The costs of flights and hotels are covered by the participants themselves, but all business events from the official programme, including local transport and the transit between Shanghai and Shenzen, will be covered by the European Commission.
