Food processing and packaging machinery industry has broad prospects for cooperation between China and ASEAN

Coconut sugar in Vietnam, dried mangoes in Malaysia, and durian cakes in Thailand... In recent years, more and more Southeast Asian specialty foods have entered the Chinese market and have also given birth to the rapid development of China's food processing and packaging industry. The director of the ASEAN Secretariat’s Market Integration Division, Supach, said recently that the cooperation between ASEAN and China in the manufacturing sector will help companies of both countries to learn from each other's strengths and increase production capacity so as to obtain better economic benefits.

With the explosion of food exports from ASEAN countries and people’s increasing demand for fine processing and packaged food, the food industry’s demand for imported processing and packaging machinery is increasing. China's food processing and packaging machinery products are welcomed by food processing companies in ASEAN countries for their unique advantages such as low transportation cost, fast delivery, reliable quality, stable performance, easy operation, reasonable price, and technical application.

It is understood that the China-ASEAN Expo held every year has a food processing and packaging machinery exhibition area, which has attracted more and more Chinese food processing and packaging machinery companies to actively expand the ASEAN market through the China-ASEAN Expo. Mr. Zhou, deputy general manager of China Minghui Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd., who attended the 7th China-ASEAN Expo food processing and packaging machinery exhibition area, said in an interview with the reporter that the company has relations with some ASEAN countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar. Cooperation, and cooperation with local companies in Malaysia to carry out beverage canning and other services.

Chinese companies go out step more solid

China and ASEAN are highly complementary to the food processing and packaging industry. First of all, China’s comparative advantage in food processing and packaging machinery and developed countries in Europe and America is very obvious. Compared with Southeast Asian products, it also has technical advantages. It can be said that it is of high quality and low price. Second, ASEAN countries are rich in agricultural products, and most agricultural products are subject to deep processing and manufacturing. Increase the added value.

Food processing and packaging machinery have expressed that this year they want to use the China-ASEAN Expo as a big platform to showcase their own scientific and technological achievements to ASEAN buyers. At a product manufacturer's booth, we saw a group of buyers from the Philippines interested in consulting specific product performance. The exhibitor Mr. Ma said that so far, there have been more than 10 batches of purchasers to understand the product-related situation.

As China's national industry continues to mature and expand, more and more Chinese domestic goods boutique brands have set their sights on overseas markets. ASEAN countries are not only geographically close to China, but also have historical and cultural backgrounds that are inextricably linked to China. As a result, ASEAN has become one of the important destinations for many Chinese companies to go abroad. In addition to the broad market prospects, Singapore’s business climate in ASEAN countries, Thailand’s agricultural foundation, and labor advantages have made many Chinese entrepreneurs eager to participate as one of the major platforms for business negotiation and cooperation between China and ASEAN countries. The ASEAN Expo has undoubtedly provided a great opportunity for food processing and packaging machinery companies to further open the ASEAN market.
