Mr Lian Bo, the GM of Sino-Australian Modern Industrial Park attended the AccessChina’16 delegation in Shanghai in October, 2016.

Weifang Food Valley/Food and Agriculture Innovation Center, Weifang City, Shandong Province

China Food Valley is an important platform to integrate food industry within Weifang city, to create a "national food safety zone" with One Core, Five Areas, and Multi-Points.

One Core, China Food Valley's core zone, is located in central urban areas with a 45 square kilometer construction zone.

Five Areas includes the vegetable and seed valley of Shouguang, agricultural export standardized base of Anqiu, organic agricultural products processing base of Xiashang, the meat processing valley of Changle and food industry park of economic region of harbor and other function areas.

Multi-Points covers modern agriculture in several other cities, food processing, circulation sites and enterprises.

On February 28 the Shandong government announced the approval for establishing Qingdao West Coast Agriculture High-tech Zone.

It is believed that there will be more agricultural bases established in China. 

There is no doubt that the co-operation between the agricultural regions in Australia and key regions in China will be the opportunity for this year.
