From October 23 to 25, the first Weifang International Food and Agricultural

Products Expo with the theme of "Openness, Innovation and Integration" was held

in Weifang National Agricultural Comprehensive Zone in East China's Shandong

domestic food, imported food, technical services and commercial equipment,

online best-selling products, and livestreaming services, which fully displayed

new technologies, new achievements, and new products in China's agricultural

"Each of our eggs is printed with a red code to ensure the traceability of each

egg. It's not that the darker the color of the egg yolk, the better. The real

grain-fed egg shows the yellow color of natural corn kernels. The color of the

egg yolk can actually be realized by adding additives to the feed," an anchor

introduced the common sense of egg quality to the audience, in the

livestreaming room of the expo's online exhibition platform.

The exhibition also realized real-time interactive trading, intelligent

business negotiation, full-link participation experience, industry big data

information search and other functions, creating a new format of online

exhibition of food and produce as well as an international exhibition, exchange

and cooperation platform.

At the opening ceremony of the expo, Liu Yun, a senior official with Weifang,

said that agriculture is one of Weifang's most competitive industries and has

formed six major industries of grain, vegetables, livestock and poultry,

flowers, seedlings, melons and fruits and two leading industries of seeds and

agricultural machinery.

"Weifang will take the holding of this exhibition as an opportunity and take

special food and agricultural products as a medium to comprehensively

strengthen exchanges with domestic and foreign enterprises and institutions,

tap the potential for cooperation and seek opportunities for cooperation," said

Liu, adding that Weifang will strive to offer the best services to realize
