SIAL was successfully concluded on 21th, October. According to official statistics, about 5700 exhibitors attent the show while 5500 in 2008. And the innovative products increased by 25%. The activities and conferences during the show attracted many audiences. Due to the big strike,attendees were reduced by 8% than the previous year. Nevertheless, SIAL still plays a catalytic role in economic exchanges of the world. Among 136,500 visitors (147,860 of 2008 show), 62% came from other 200 countries or regions, which reflectes that more countries are actively meeting the challenges under world new economic order.On the spot,most decision-makers are from large distribution area and food and beverage industry. They came to select products can be provided to customers in "post-crisis era". No matter the discussion in the booth and the speech made by politicians visiting the show, the export problems are the central topic.

This is the first time for 21FOOD to organize a pavilion taking part in the show. We have experienced much sorrow and happiness. During past five years, we have been trying our best to find Chinese food exporting markets. And we still have a long way to go to let more people know 21FOOD. Now we are not just an internet medium but a comprehensive service provider in food exporting. We must become a responsible lead in food industry,try different ways to help food enterprises open the door to the world and help them to achieve great performance in food trading. Obviously, it is more difficult than before,but we believe only after we make great efforts can we achive big success.
