AEFA will participate at China Dairy Exhibition 2020.

Despite the difficulties because of COVID-19, the association will once again participate in the main exhibition of the dairy sector in China.

2020 edition will take place in Shijiazhuang (Hebei Province), from October 11 to 13, after postponing the event that was originally scheduled to be held in Wuhan in July.

AEFA, Spanish Association of Dehydrated Alfalfa Manufacturers, with the support of ICEX Spain Export and Investments and the consulting firm Eibens will organize the Spanish pavilion that will have a total area of 50 m2 and will be located in Hall 1 Stand A33.

China has become the second largest demand for Spanish forage after the United Arab Emirates. Last campaign, Spanish exports reached 254,000 tons sold to the Asian country.

During the event, visitors to the stand will be informed of the main characteristics of Spanish alfalfa, the modes of use and qualities, in addition to holding meetings with the main agents and institutions of the dairy sector in the Asian country.

Regarding the situation and forecasts for the Chinese market, AEFA´s Director Mr. Luis Machín comments that; “We are experiencing a period of uncertainty regarding the Chinese market, the exception of the tariff on US alfalfa will last until September 2021, and the strength of the euro against the dollar weakens us when it comes to exporting and competing with the North American product. We hope to be able to convey at the fair the advantages of Spanish alfalfa in many aspects, as well as the high quality of the alfalfa produced in Spain.
