VIRTUAL TRADE EVENT 

The Western U.S. Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) and the 13 Western State Departments of Agriculture announce participation and registration in the following activity, which is brought to you by the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service: WUSATA Virtual Pavilion at SIAL China Trade Show 2020

Due to Covid-19 and the associated travel restrictions, WUSATA has had to restructure how we provide trade opportunities.  By offering virtual presentation options at SIAL China, we are able to still offer benefits of participating through virtual meetings and representation of your product. WUSATA is able to offer virtual opportunities thanks to our in-country partner - SMH International. SMH International has been working with WUSATA for over a decade on projects that include trade shows, inbound/outbound trade missions, in-store promotions, menu promotions, press conferences, seminars, showcase events and market research. Deeply rooted in the imported food and agriculture industry in China and Hong Kong, SMH has been assisting overseas organizations and companies in accessing or penetrating the China/HK market for over 20 years. 

Exhibiting at SIAL China is the best means of making your products known, and for positioning them directly with the various major market players from retail, catering, hotel/restaurant/catering, food services, the import/export trade and manufacturing. The show sets the benchmark for overseas companies stepping into Asia and China as well as providing valuable market insights, trends and innovations of the regional food industry. It has become Asia’s largest food and beverage innovation exhibition.
