International Dialogue on Cutting-edge Topics in the Organic Industry: Markets, Policies, and Cooperation

Against the backdrop of accelerated reshaping of the global economic landscape, in-depth evolution of consumer demand and environmental sustainability becoming a theme of the times, various industries are facing new challenges due to rapid changes in international trade, tariffs and other policies. The organic industry is an important segment of the agri-food industry. Chinese and overseas development and policy environment has experienced profound adjustments in recent years. So has the organic industry changed in terms of industry overview and market policy in China and foreign countries? Along with China's rise to the world's third largest organic market, the structural growth of domestic organic food consumption and the evolution of consumer behavior have attracted much attention. So what are the current trends in China's organic food consumption and the consumer habits? In the context of the reshaping of international trade patterns, how to build efficient cooperation with Europe, the United States and other overseas markets? We sincerely invite you to join us at Hall N5, Shanghai New International Expo Center on June 11, 2025 from 13:00-17:00 for the “International Dialogue on Cutting-edge Topics in the Organic Industry: Markets, Policies, and Cooperation” forum.

 

Market Insight: Facing Both Potential and Competition - Are You Ready?

Currently, the global organic market shows a booming development trend. In 2023, the global retail value of organic products is close to 136 billion euros, and China has jumped to the third largest organic market in the world for two years, with sales amounting to 12.6 billion euros. However, the rapid growth of the market has also brought about fierce competition. In China, the organic food market is less concentrated and the economies of scale have not been fully realized, while small and medium-sized enterprises occupy a larger market share. At the same time, international brands have also flocked to the market, which causes that the market competition is intensifying. In the domestic market, consumer awareness and acceptance of organic products is increasing, but there are still some consumers who have a limited understanding of organic products and do not have much trust in them, etc. In addition, the price of organic products is relatively high, restricting the willingness of some consumers to buy them. Therefore, the further expansion of market demand is facing challenges. Organic industry experts will detail the current situation of China's organic market and China's first “The White Paper on China's Organic Food Consumption Trends in 2025” debuts, which will analyze the direction of consumption for you.

 

Policy Analysis: Grasp the Policy Advantages and Seize the Development Opportunities

Policy is an important force to guide the development of the industry. China has introduced regulations such as “Measures for the Administration of Organic Product Certification” and “Green Product Standard System” to gradually improve organic industry norms. In 2024, the number of certificates for organic products in China continued to rise, and the organic products market showed a prosperous development. In the future, the state may further tighten the regulation of organic certification and establish a national unified traceability platform. This forum will explain in detail the overview of organic certification in China. In the international organic market, the organic policy of each country has its own characteristics. In terms of enterprises, accurate insight into the domestic and international organic policy venation and grasping its dynamics and trends are undoubtedly the keys to their steady progress in the organic industry. This forum will closely follow this demand, deeply analyze the overview of the development of the international organic market, and release the Chinese version of “The World of Organic Agriculture Statistic and Emerging 2025”. As the largest market for organic agricultural products in the European Union, Germany’s “Federal Organic Agriculture Action Act” provides strong support for the development of organic agriculture. This year's exhibition specially presents the “German Pavilion”, inviting German organic experts to participate in the main forum topics and to discuss deeply the overview of organic industry in Germany and new opportunities for organic product trade between Germany and China.

 

International Cooperation: Expand International Markets for an Organic Future

With the advancement of economic globalization, international cooperation in the organic industry has become increasingly frequent. China and New Zealand signed an agreement on mutual recognition of organic product certification as early as 2016, implemented mutual recognition of products in 2022 and upgraded mutual recognition in 2024, which facilitates the development of organic industry and trade between the two countries. In this forum, Mr. Jack Lee, Counsellor SPS, Ministry for Primary Industries, New Zealand Embassy Beijing, will introduce the organics cooperation and trade between New Zealand and China. Under the background of Sino-US trade war, the organic product trade between the two countries has been affected to a certain extent. How to formulate effective response strategies to reduce trade risks and at the same time explore new international market opportunities is an urgent issue for organic enterprises. Mr. Zhang Jibing, Director of the Organic Food Development Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, will bring you an analysis of the impact of Sino-US trade war on organic product trade between the two countries and its response strategies.
