The 10th SIAL China will be held in Shanghai from 19 to 21 May 2009. SIAL China is the largest food exhibition in the region, and in 2008, the 1,100 exhibitors from 58 different countries welcomed more than 27,700 visitors.
The growth in the number of visitors to SIAL China (up 24% on 2007) mirrors the growth in the food market in this region. Plans for the 2009 session are already well underway: Mexico has been announced as the guest country and Packtech- Foodtech, the international exhibition for food processing and packaging, will be held at the same time. The exhibition intends to focus on the wines and spirits sector, to highlight the growth of the bakery and pastry sector and to hold events such as the Cooking Trends Area and the OlivAsia competition.
