That night, after communication in a meeting, the representatives and the delegation all believed that compared with the Chinese market, the Philippine food market has many advantages, such as huge demand, flexible market access and short transportation distance. The buyer delegation explicitly expressed that they hope to find suitable resources and business partners through the exhibition.

On the morning of 25, IFA representatives and the professional buyer delegation visited the exhibition together, where they had business talk with many exhibitors to discuss cooperation opportunities for mutual development. Representatives of the delegation expressed that this trip was very productive, as they could not only find suitable business partners but also better understand the future trends of the Philippine food exported to China.
