On November 27, 2018, the China National Food Industry Association (CNFIA) and the International Food Trade Union hosted the World Grain Trade Forum in Beijing, with "the trend of world food trade outlook" as the theme, to discuss the exchange of world food production, trade and facing new problems.
The forum held the goal of deepening trade cooperation and has carried on the deep discussion. Zeng Liying, Deputy Director of the State Food and Commodity Reserve Bureau, Zhao Changbao, Deputy Director of the Department of Policy and Reform of the Ministry of Agriculture and Villages, Gary Martin, President of the International Food Trade Federation, Yu Xubo, President of China’s Food Industry Association and COFCO Group, and Ullah Kaske, Counsellor of the World Trade Organisation attended the forum.
In his speech, Cofco Yu in said that this session of the World Grain Trade Forum was for members to communicate international food production and trade situations, as well as grasp the trend of international food trade, strengthen the world's major grain production and marketing and the major food groups and food business contacts and cooperation and promote the healthy and stable development of the world's food trade. Striving to create a face-to-face communication platform for international counterparts was also emphasised.
"Since CNFIA joined the International Food Trade Union in 2006, the association has made full use of both domestic and international markets and resources to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation”, says Mr Xubo. "Against the backdrop of China's further opening-up, we will take an active part in the activities of international food industry organisations, play the role of a bridge and bond between enterprises and governments, and contribute to the sustainable development of international food trade and international exchanges and cooperation.”
In view of the positive role of the forum in China, Gary Martin, President of the World Food Trade Federation (WFTF), believes that this year's World Grain Trade Forum will help enhance exchanges and cooperation among countries and avoid risks in global trade in grain, oil and related products. At the same time, the exchange of experts from various countries provides rich market and industry information for the deepening of food trade cooperation. The alliance is willing to make its own contribution to the development of global food trade.
