World Food Expo in Guangzhou, South China

Relying on the deep industry contacts, extensive global business network and excellent operation and management experience accumulated by FHC Shanghai Global Food Exhibition in recent years, the organizer of FHC has taken a key step in its localization strategy – in Guangzhou, South China. As a gateway city, the FHC South China Global Food Exhibition was launched for the first time. This move aims to leverage the powerful influence of the highly regarded World Food Guangzhou Exhibition in South China and its series of joint exhibitions to introduce richer snacks and high-end ingredient supply chain resources to Guangzhou and even the entire South China catering market.

The FHC South China Global Food Exhibition will serve as an extension of the FHC Shanghai Global Food Exhibition. It will not only open up new regional markets for Shanghai exhibitors, but also provide them with purchasing opportunities from retailers, wholesalers, star hotels, catering chains, and supermarkets in South China. Departments and professional buyers such as group purchasing units have established effective communication bridges. The establishment of this platform will greatly facilitate the one-stop procurement needs of supply and demand, while providing comprehensive industry information to help enterprises grasp the pulse of the market and expand their business territory.

Guangdong Province, as the leader of China’s catering industry, generated a revenue of 412.476 billion yuan in 2020, ranking first in the country. According to statistics from the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Statistics, in the first half of 2021, Guangdong’s catering revenue achieved a strong year-on-year growth of 47.5%, showing a strong recovery in consumption and a good investment environment. Under the background of normalized epidemic prevention and control, Guangzhou has successfully paralleled epidemic prevention and economic development, demonstrating strong market vitality and development potential, providing fertile soil for the South China FHC World Food Expo. The launch of this exhibition will undoubtedly further stimulate the vitality of the food industry in Guangzhou and even the entire southern China region, and promote the prosperity and development of the regional catering market.
