For companies in this sector, the 8th China – LAC Business Summit can be an excellent opportunity to contact importers and distributors in China. The summit will take place on September 12 - 14 co-organized by IDB, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and the Government of the Province of Hunan.

“Producers in China are having difficulties in meeting the existing demand for meat. This led to China becoming a major meat importer in 2013”, affirms Rabobank.
