The Pavillion is divided into three areas: the “Quality Agricultural Products in Shandong” Area, the Agricultural Technology Area and the Open Development Demonstration Zones Area.
Agricultural products from close to 100 renowned food brands in Shandong will be displayed in the exhibition area for agricultural products, whilst the exhibition area for the latest agricultural technologies will showcase the progress made in farming technologies, R&D of equipment and hardware, and new seed industries.
Distil the best of development experience from multiple demonstration zones to open up new opportunities for “Belt and Road” international co-operation
The exhibition area for demonstration zones of open development will elucidate the benefits of conducting business in agriculture, trade and tech co-operation, among others, in the Weifang National Agricultural Open Development Comprehensive Experimental Zone and the Yellow River Delta Agricultural High-tech Industry Demonstration Zone.
It will also highlight the China-SCO Local Economic and Trade Co-operation Demonstration Area (SCODA) built in Qingdao under the aegis of the central government for the purpose of creating a new platform for “Belt and Road” international co-operation and pressing ahead with the open development landscape featuring mutual support between the East and West of China, along with the synergy between domestic and overseas markets. The promotion of the SCODA covers its four centres, namely the international logistics centre, the modern trade centre, the two-way investment co-operation centre, and the business, travel, cultural exchange and development centre, to present more market opportunities for enterprises to jump on board with the “Belt and Road” Initiative.
