On November 10, the 13th China International Agricultural products Fair ended in Fuzhou after four days of exhibition and trading. Qu Dongyu, vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, said at the summary meeting that the on-site trade volume of the current Agricultural Fair reached 49 billion yuan, and the on-site retail sales reached 353 million yuan, all exceeding the previous level.

Qu Dongyu stressed that the current Agricultural Fair has a distinct theme, large scale, rich activities and extensive influence. First, it better embodies the theme of "adjusting the structure and changing the mode of development of modern agriculture". Professional exhibitors of various agricultural industries, such as modern agricultural demonstration areas, geographical indications of agricultural products, agricultural informatization, and land reclamation, have fully demonstrated the achievements made in China's modern agricultural development since the 12th five-year Plan. Second, the scale of the exhibition, the number of exhibitors and exhibitors are the highest in history. The exhibition area is 120000 square meters, including 45 exhibition areas, including 33 provincial comprehensive exhibition areas (including Taiwan and Xinjiang Corps), 11 professional exhibition areas and international exhibition areas. Nearly 5000 enterprises participated in the exhibition, an increase of 150% over the previous year, and nearly 10,000 buyers attended the meeting. Third, during the exhibition, there were 15 major events, such as the press conference of 100 agricultural products brands of 100 cooperatives across the country, the fourth Symposium on risk Management and Agricultural Development, the Agricultural Informatization Summit Forum, the 2015 Brand Agriculture Forum, the National Agricultural products Dealers Conference, the sixth China Veterinary Congress, and more than 50 events in the same period. Fourth, the Farm Trade Fair has received wide attention at home and abroad, attracting more than 200,000 spectators to visit and purchase.

Qu Dongyu introduced the remarkable achievements made by this session of the Agricultural Fair in four aspects: first, remarkable achievements have been made in promoting the trade and sale of agricultural products. This year's Agricultural Trade Fair has organized and held more than 50 promotion and docking activities, set up special performances for buyers and professional spectators, and set up on-site promotion centers, negotiation service centers and international negotiation areas and other service facilities. It has attracted nearly 100000 buyers and professional visitors at home and abroad to negotiate procurement. Trade negotiations have achieved remarkable results. On-site purchases and sales at the exhibition are booming, with on-site trade volume reaching 49 billion yuan and on-site retail sales reaching 353 million yuan.

Second, the achievements and experiences of modern agricultural construction have been fully demonstrated and exchanged. This year's Agricultural Fair highlights the elements of modern agriculture, focusing on displaying and exchanging new achievements in the development of agricultural science and technology and agricultural modernization since the 12th five-year Plan. 283 modern agricultural demonstration zones appeared centrally for the first time, fully demonstrating the model and development trend of China's modern agricultural construction. The current Agricultural Fair also fully demonstrated the good development trend of "Internet + modern agriculture". The application of modern elements such as big data, Internet of things and e-commerce in agricultural production, operation, management and service has aroused widespread concern.

Third, the function of promoting the brand of agricultural products is more prominent. This year's Agricultural Fair has a collection of famous products, with more than 1,000 leading agricultural industrialization enterprises participating in the exhibition, and tens of thousands of "three products and one standard" products. A press conference on the brands of 100 agricultural products from 100 cooperatives across the country was held, and Minister of Agriculture Han Changfu awarded licenses to the selected cooperatives and delivered an important speech. Recommended by various exhibitors and reviewed by experts, 273 gold medal products have been produced. The national famous, special, excellent and new fruit tasting and promotion meeting was held, and the authority launched 50 regional public brands in five categories: citrus, apple, pear, peach and grape. Most of the exhibition groups organized activities related to the promotion of high-quality and characteristic agricultural products.

Fourth, it has promoted cross-strait exchanges and the construction of "Belt and Road Initiative." This year's Agricultural Fair gives full play to the geographical advantages of Fujian and Fuzhou, highlighting the characteristics of both sides of the Taiwan Strait and "Belt and Road Initiative". The Taiwan exhibition area of this Agricultural Fair covers an area of 5000 square meters, reflecting the advantages of Fujian Unicom on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The launch ceremony of e-commerce for agricultural products in Taichuangyuan held at the same time promoted the docking between Taichuangyuan's agricultural products and e-commerce, and 29 Taiwan Chuangyuan signed contracts with e-commerce "original Life Network" at the scene. At the same time, 17 countries participated in the fair, and countries along the Belt and Road Initiative route, such as Slovenia, Poland, Malaysia and Indonesia, displayed agricultural products and agricultural technologies with their own characteristics, bringing new opportunities for agricultural cooperation.
