China News Service, Jakarta, October 1st. A press conference for the Chain Global International Agricultural Cooperation Expo and China International Agricultural Cooperation Expo was held in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, on the 1st. It was announced that the expo will be held at the Tangerang International Convention and Exhibition Center in Indonesia from December 10th to 12th.

According to reports, this is the first time that the expo will be held in Indonesia, with a planned exhibition area of ​​5,000 square meters and more than 100 exhibitors. Industry associations, purchasers, and scientific research institutions from China, Indonesia and ASEAN countries will also be invited to participate.

At the press conference, Tika Kartika, official of the General Department of Livestock and Animal Health of the Ministry of Agriculture of Indonesia, said that food self-sufficiency is the cornerstone of national security, and the livestock industry is a key support for ensuring protein supply, creating jobs and revitalizing the rural economy. The free nutritious meal program promoted by the Indonesian government has brought stable demand for poultry meat and eggs. The Ministry of Agriculture is strengthening supply security, which also represents a huge business opportunity. Indonesia is willing to deepen cooperation with China in areas such as precision farming, cold chain logistics and human resources, and work together to maintain regional food security.

Niu Liangliang, chief representative of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade in Indonesia, said that China and Indonesia are both major agricultural countries, and agriculture is an important area of ​​economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. Currently, with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the impact of the El Niño climate, global food security and agricultural supply chain stability are facing multiple challenges. It is increasingly necessary for all parties to strengthen cooperation and complement each other's advantages to help the agricultural industry chain and supply chain develop more stably, efficiently, and resiliently.

Indonesia has broad room for development in food production, animal husbandry, agricultural product processing and agricultural markets. China has accumulated rich experience in the fields of agricultural equipment, smart agriculture, feed nutrition, animal health, disease prevention and control, and processing technology.

Duan Qingchang, executive director of the International Industrial Cooperation Professional Committee of the China Association of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that the expo will serve as four major platforms for technical exchanges, trade docking, investment cooperation and one-stop overseas services. It will directly connect Chinese market channels and Chinese technical solutions with the resource endowments of Indonesia and ASEAN. It is expected to form a number of implementable projects in the fields of smart breeding, feed and animal health, agricultural product processing, agricultural machinery and equipment.

The Chain Global International Agricultural Cooperation Expo and China International Agricultural Cooperation Expo are jointly sponsored by the China Enterprises Association for Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the China-ASEAN Industrial Development Center.
