We would like to invite you to participate in an important and informative food safety conference—Food Safety Roundtable: Promoting Quality in the Global Food Chain. The Roundtable is a private sector, working conference for the agricultural and food industry and will be held April 27-28, 2009 at the Commune by the Great Wall Kempinski Resort near Great Wall, Beijing.
The International Summit for Food Safety, co-sponsored by Beijing Orient Agribusiness Consultant, Ltd. (BOABC) and American GIC Group is to be held, April 27th to 28th, 2009. We sincerely invite you to this occasion.
In recent years, people attach more and more attention to issues related to human health, such as the mad cow disease, Salmonella type of viruses, the persistent threat of hunger in some regions, obesity due to junk food, ethical debates over trans-genetic food, etc. The frequent incidence of such issues has made food safety a focus of concern for world.
In China, the piercing pains inflicted by the Sanlu melamine incident on China’s food industry also prompted us to have a closer look at the food industry. Various problems have plagued China’s food industry, including loose and disorderly production system, self-evident industrial woes, incomplete food legislations, etc. With the progress of the economic globalization and the spread of “made in China”, food made in mainland China has been exported to over 200 countries and regions in the world. International trade for food has become an inalienable part of China’s foreign trade. Meanwhile, many developed countries in the world set up various technological trade barriers while strengthening food safety management, and they keep raising the entry level for imported food through raising standards, having additional inspection and quarantine items, constant updating new technological legislations, etc. China’s food export is increasingly faced with the safety issue.
Food safety is no just an issue for enterprises but also an issue of common concern for the whole nation and the whole world.
How shall we restore consumer confidence? How to deal with food safety crisis? How to achieve the return back to the world market for food made in China? How to forge strong national brand names? What are the differences between domestic legislations on food safety and international standards? How to evade trade barriers? All such a series of questions call for urgent solutions for each and every domestic as well as overseas enterprises interested in food production.
To promote international food trade development, explore domestic and international situations, issues and strategies related to food safety, BOABC, as an institution that has been researching on agriculture and food industry for long, joined hands with American GIC Group to co-sponsor the “China Summit for International Food Safety”. The Summit plans to invite the research department of the National People’s Congress, State Food and Drug Administration and other senior government officials, experts, scholars and leaders of industrial organizations, research institutions, entrepreneurs from renowned domestic and overseas food and beverage enterprises in charge of production, manufacturing, retailing, sales channels or restaurants, etc. for discussions over heated topics, including food safety legislation, current status of the food industry, development strategies, crisis management of food safety, etc.
