With the enormous success of the Beijing 2008 Olympics, China announced itself to the world and in doing so opened its food, wine and hospitality markets to international suppliers.

Industry experts predict that by 2018 China will become the largest importer of food in the world and this huge potential can be seen across FHC events.

Hotels, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, importers, distributors, agents and traders from Beijing and North East China will attend FHC Beijing 2009 to meet suppliers from around the world selling a large variety of premium imported products as China’s burgeoning middle classes embrace imported food, wine, hospitality and entertainment.

“FHC Beijing 2009 is the only international food and hospitality trade event for Beijing and North China. It offers the greatest number and variety of international companies and products looking to supply China’s growing appetite for imported foods. With national pavilions confirmed from Argentina, Greece, Italy, Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka Tea Board and the USA as well as local companies selling imported foods FHC Beijing 2009 offers trade visitors the best exhibition in their region for their region this year.”, Mr Pau added.
