Just like the popularity of the Food and Agricultural Products Exhibition Area at the second China International Import Expo (CIIE), the 23rd International Exhibition for the Food, Drink, Hotel, Restaurant, Food service, Bakery & Retail Industries (FHC exhibition) opened on November 12 in the Shanghai New International Expo Center has also reaped big success.

With an area of 180,000 square meters, an increase of nearly 20% over last year, the exhibition attracted nearly 3,500 exhibitors from 48 countries and regions around the world. Food of high quality from Turkey, France, Spain, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Russia, Thailand, South Korea and Japan are on display at the exhibition. It is expected that the 3-day exhibition will attract 120,000 professional buyers.

On the first day, more than 600 chefs took part in the 2019 FHC China International Culinary Arts Competition and showcased their skills. An International Dessert Baking Competition, a Pizza Championship and a Trend Drink Creative Production Competition were also held at the same time.

In addition, jointly organized by FHC and the Shanghai Catering Association, the first Shanghai Catering Intangible Cultural Exhibition Zone has attracted 25 well-known old Shanghai brands to exhibit and some inheritors of the traditional authentic Shanghai Cuisine also presented on site to discuss the protection, inheritance and development of Shanghai catering’s intangible cultural heritage.
