USRPA is in China this week visiting Shanghai and SIAL Shenzhen, meeting with FAS Shanghai and Guangzhou and several China industry representatives. The trip started with a meeting with a contractor in Shanghai, and a visit of the Shanghai NGO office as required by China NGO law for the registration of USRPA’s non-government office in China. In the meantime, USRPA visited SIAL Shenzhen and met with FAS Guangzhou and the U.S. pavilion. SIAL Shenzhen is a food show exhibiting products from around the world. The trip also included meetings with a private importer Shenzhen Rui Li Lai and state-owned enterprise China Sino Grains. The meetings were productive, building relationships with China’s rice industry and promoting awareness of U.S. rice in the global market. |
