China: US Agricultural Export Opportunities in Hefei
Link to report:
Hefei in East China has become one of China’s fastest growing cities. It's rising incomes presenting new opportunities for U.S. agricultural exports. East China accounts for nearly a third of all U.S. agricultural imports into China including over half of all consumer-oriented products. As one of the region’s leading cities, Hefei’s economy has grown at double China’s national rate over the past two decades. Its nearly 10 million population now has 15 percent more disposable income than the national urban average. Nevertheless, Hefei has remained a relatively untapped market for foreign food products - including those from the United States. This report aims to help U.S. exporters in the food, agriculture, and beverage sectors understand this emerging first-tier city, its economic scale, and consumption potential.
