The "Fourth China International Import Expo" will be held in Shanghai in November. At present, exhibits from South Pacific countries such as New Zealand and Vanuatu have departed for Shanghai. They look forward to better displaying the brand image to consumers through the Expo and bringing new opportunities to enterprises.
A few days ago, some of the exhibits participating in this year's Shanghai Expo were loaded from Auckland Port, the largest port in New Zealand, and set off for Shanghai. The head of COSCO SHIPPING Group (New Zealand) Co., Ltd., which provides exhibit transportation services, said that since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, port congestion and container backlog have brought great challenges to shipping. In order to ensure the smooth participation of exhibits, the company has identified a number of transportation plans to ensure that the impact of the epidemic is minimized. The exhibits destined for Shanghai include dairy, wine, chocolate and coconut oil, all of which are specialty products from New Zealand and the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu.
Aland, an exhibitor from New Zealand, once participated in the first CIIE, and this time, his trading company specially organized the products of more than 20 small and medium-sized New Zealand companies to participate in the exhibition. They look forward to showing their brand image to global consumers and expanding sales channels through the Shanghai CIIE.
New Zealand Exhibitor Mike Allander: China is a vital market for any brand in New Zealand, especially in certain areas where we are in, such as nutraceuticals, food and beverage, and a range of other industries, that are vital to sales to China. CIIE provides a platform where we can enhance and expand our business in China.
China is New Zealand's largest trading partner and New Zealand's largest export market, and ciie expo has always been favored and concerned by New Zealand enterprises. Rachel Medmunter, executive director of the New Zealand-China Relations Promotion Council, said that because the Chinese government has taken a series of strong measures to effectively curb the spread of the epidemic and thus make the country's economy recover rapidly, for more than a year, New Zealand's exports of goods to China have not only not decreased, but have shown strong growth, and the boost effect of China's economic recovery on the global economy is obvious.
Rachel Medmunter, Executive Director, New Zealand-China Relations Promotion Council: New Zealand's merchandise exports to China have grown strongly, up about 12.3% as of June 2021. Areas with particularly strong growth include dairy, wood, meat, and some of our fruits. During this period, our imports from China also increased significantly, by 8.9%.
