The exhibition area of this Expo covers an area of 20,000 square meters and has

The three-day fruit and vegetable expo event has attracted a large crowd

on-site, with a wide variety of high-quality products. The fresh fruits and

vegetables, pre-made dishes, exhibits related to smart agriculture, and various

exhibitions have dazzled the eyes, providing a visual feast. The China-ASEAN

Agricultural Development and Food Safety Cooperation Conference revolved around

topics such as edible agricultural product standards, sustainable trade

development, promoting green growth, and international trade, facilitating

discussions and sharing of insights. Activities such as the "Fruit Creative

Show and Fantasies about Vegetables" DIY and the Yantai Intangible Cultural

heritage exhibition). It has attracted exhibitors by professional planning and

operation and brought together elites in the industry through advanced

technology and product promotion activities, providing a one-stop service

platform for upstream and downstream enterprises in the fruit and vegetable

food industry chain.
