2013 Zhejiang (Shanghai) Agricultural Produce Fair kicked off on December 20. Several thousand kinds of products from nearly 1000 agricultural enterprises in Zhejiang Province were exhibited at the Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Center. Over 1000 kinds of specialties from 93 leading agricultural enterprises or farmers’ professional cooperatives were displayed at the fair.
Agricultural products from Zhejiang Province, especially from Ningbo, have been loved by the people of Shanghai, and it has been the 11th year for the annual Zhejiang (Shanghai) Agricultural Produce Fair to be held.
At about 9 am, the fair started. The 93 booths for Ningbo specialties located on the second floor of the convention and exhibition center attracted a large number of local residents. An Uncle Zhao, at his late 50s, who was a local resident with Ningbo origin, was reminded of his childhood in sight of the organic food at the booth of Ningbo Tianyuan Organic Food Co. Ltd. "The sweet potato slices are so crisp that it is exactly the same taste as those I ate as a child." It is said that such Ningbo enterprises as Maoqing and Tianyuan focused on the "traditional crafts" brands and promoted the hand-made sweet potato slices and dry rice cakes that were popular with the Shanghai citizens.
At the fair, Ningbo Mingfeng Fishery Co. Ltd. held a promotion meeting for its soft-shelled turtles on the morning of December 20. Finally, over 30 dealers from Shanghai signed on the scene a distribution agreement with the company.
