Dragon Dance and battle against the 'financial storm'

摘要

Under the auspices of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and the China Fruit Marketing Association the Shenzhen Fruit, Vegetable and Technology Show 2008 (SFT) took place for the fifth time in the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Shenzhen, province of Guangdong. Fu Xiuquan, Vice President of the China Fruit Marketing Association, called upon the participants to cooperate in a more efficient way in order to reduce the impact to the fruit industry by weathering"the world financial storm." China, he told exporters, importers and traders on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition, is number One in the world in fruit production with 486 million t. "With that volume - and it's increasing day by day - we cannot only meet easily the domestic demand but we also can offer international markets a very wide choice of products and thus bring about a considerable increase of earnings."
