Jak odnieść sukces? Wprowadzenie polskich produktów mleczarskich na chiński rynek
Chiny są czwartym co do wielkości producentem mleka na świecie i drugim w Azji. Biorąc pod uwagę przychód w wysokości 90 mld USD (572 mld RMB) w 2020 r. Chiny są drugim rynkiem mleczarskim na świecie, zaraz po USA, oraz największym światowym importerem nabiału. Najpopularniejsze kategorie produktów mlecznych na tym rynku to: mleko, mleko dla niemowląt i jogurty. Nowa Zelandia, Australia, Stany Zjednoczone, Niemcy i Francja należą obecnie do głównych dostawców produktów mleczarskich na rynek chiński.

Biorąc pod uwagę powyższe, EU SME Centre w Pekinie i Krajowy Ośrodek Wsparcia Rolnictwa (KOWR) organizują webinarium, aby podzielić się z polskimi firmami sektora MŚP działającymi w branży mleczarskiej spostrzeżeniami i rekomendacjami jak zwiększyć eksport polskiego nabiału do Chin. Przedstawione zostaną aspekty regulacyjne, bariery techniczne, ogólne perspektywy rynkowe oraz szanse i wyzwania stojące przed polskimi eksporterami nabiału.

Dołącz do szkolenia, aby:

  • zapoznać się z obowiązującymi przepisami i barierami technicznymi w Chinach: dowiedzieć się więcej o systemie CIFER, wymaganiach dotyczących zgodności, etykietowania i ochronie praw własności,
  • poznać ważne fakty i liczby dotyczące chińskiego rynku mleczarskiego, w tym podaż krajową, trendy konsumpcyjne, kategorie importowanych produktów mlecznych itp.,
  • poznać możliwości i wyzwania, o których powinni wiedzieć polscy eksporterzy nabiału i zdobyć wiedzę dzięki wskazówkom i rekomendacjom naszych ekspertów.
