USSEC recently partnered with the China Feed Industry Association (CFIA) to host the 8th China Feed Industry North-South Exchange program. Representatives from more than 45 feed mills and feed associations from nine northern provinces attended the conference.
Due to the unbalanced regional development of China’s feed industry, participants used this opportunity to find and strengthen business relations. Participants attended seminars in Jiangsu and then visited large feed mills in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces. As a result of the site visits, the host companies in Jiangsu showed interest in cooperating with companies in the northern provinces.
CFIA sent five feed association officers to discuss the feed situations in their respective provinces, as well as feed safety and pellet handling techniques. Xiaoping Zhang, USSEC China country director, also delivered a presentation on the soybean and soy meal market outlook.
