This is the most prominent highlight of the expo. For the first time, AI technology is deeply integrated into the exhibition, with leading tech companies such as Huawei, iFlytek and Inspur showcasing innovative achievements in intelligent warehousing, precision testing and digital management systems, applying AI throughout the entire process of grain production, processing, storage, transportation and quality inspection. A number of grain machinery equipment enterprises with internationally leading strength will also release innovative products and cutting-edge technologies on site.
Nutritional and Health Food Zone
Responding to the trend of consumption upgrading, the expo focuses on displaying nutritional and health grain and oil products such as low-GI foods and whole grains. Leading enterprises including COFCO, Xiangyu Group and Wudeli Flour Group, along with regional brands such as "Qilu Grain and Oil," "Jilin Rice" and "Shanxi Millet," will be showcased, driving the grain and oil industry toward higher quality and premiumization.
Enhanced Internationalization
A dedicated international exhibition zone has been established, with overseas institutions such as the US Rice Federation and Pakistani business delegations bringing distinctive grain varieties to exhibit. Special promotion sessions for foreign grain and oil products will be held concurrently, upgrading the grain and oil industry from "domestic circulation" to higher-level "two-way opening-up."
Rural Revitalization Zone Supporting Agriculture
Ten counties from eight provinces have been organized to exhibit as a group, concentrating on promoting regionally distinctive high-quality agricultural products, unblocking production-marketing matchmaking channels, and showcasing the achievements of the grain industry in supporting agriculture and rural development.
Significance of Debuting in Xiamen
