21. China is the largest food producer and consumer in
the world
Agribusiness in China:
20 million farm households (most is 2 acre or less)
448,000 processing enterprises (79% are small-scaled
<10 persons)
4.8 million food catering and canteens
22 million practitioners (90% are individual
households)
Value of Chinese food production: $536 billion
China is the 3nd largest food exporter to the US
Go figure…

22. Chinese consumers consider food safety as
the top social concern above high food price and
corruption
China public opinion is 74% more concerned
about the food industry than it was 2years ago
Chinese consumers are willing to pay a price
premium for food with safety certificates and
traceable features
Go figure…

23.  GFSI acts on a global
level…
 but we should customize our
global strategy at local level
Setting up local groups to:
 Communicate the GFSI vision,
objectives and approach
 Gather and share back
information on Food Safety
development in a country
 Support the implementation of
GFSI works locally.
