With the theme of "Gathering Tianfu and Global Agricultural Chain", this expo is the first time that a national potato industry professional exhibition and a Sichuan local comprehensive agricultural exhibition are co-organized at the same location at the same time.
The exhibition area of this expo is 100,000 square meters. There are more than 1,800 companies from more than 30 countries participating in the exhibition. There are 18 national pavilions. More than 20 domestic provinces have organized groups to participate in the exhibition, bringing together more than 500 domestic and foreign purchasers.
The two guest countries are linked together, and international economic and trade activities take place intensively. The China International Potato Industry Expo has Peru as the main guest country, and the Sichuan Agricultural Expo has Thailand as the main guest country. During the exhibition, many international activities will be held intensively, including the China-Thailand Economic and Trade Matchmaking Conference, the Uganda-China (Sichuan) Agricultural Economic and Trade Matchmaking Conference, and the Netherlands-Sichuan Modern Facility Agricultural Industry Development and Cooperation Seminar.
The Thailand Pavilion was organized by the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Thailand in Chengdu. More than 40 companies and institutions formed an official delegation to participate in the exhibition, covering five major sectors: intensive processing of agricultural products, herbal beauty and personal care, natural latex home furnishings, park investment and cross-border finance.
In the Thailand Pavilion, there are a wide variety of exhibits, from wooden handicrafts to casual snacks. Exhibitor Yuying put a batch of natural forest products on the stand, including wooden combs, chopsticks, wooden tools for massage, etc. "These products are all made from natural forest materials in Thailand. They are very friendly to the body when used for massage. I hope consumers in Sichuan will like them." She said while demonstrating the use of wooden massage tools to visitors.
Exhibitor Shen Wuji brought Thai-style durian gummy candies. This was his first time in Sichuan. "This time we chose to promote Thai durian in the form of gummies. This gummy contains about 15% durian pulp. We hope that through this exhibition, more consumers will come to taste it and give us more feedback to see if this product is suitable for the taste of Chinese consumers." In front of the booth, many visitors stopped to try it, and Shen Wuji seriously asked everyone for their taste evaluation.
