The 99th China Food and Drinks Fair Imported Food and Beverage Exhibition Zone

Show Background

China Food and Drinks Fair (hereinafter referred as CFDF) was founded in 1955 with two editions (spring and autumn) per year and has gone through 98 editions. CFDF is oriented to help food and beverage exhibitors to develop the 2nd and 3rd tiers cities covering the huge consumption market potential.

The autumn show is a road show to develop different regional markets, taking the recent cities for example, Wuhan-Chongqing-Nanjing-Fuzhou-Chongqing since 2013. CFDF 2018 autumn will be held in Changsha in Hunan Province, deep cultivating central China and south China.

Eight national pavilions including United Kingdom, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Poland and China Hong Kong were attracted to participate in the Imported Food and Beverage Exhibition Zone (shortly named IFB) during CFDF 2018 spring. More and more international brand owners and leading F&B importers choose CFDF as their first choice to develop sub-channels.
