China, Peoples Republic of: Market Development Reports. Wuhan: An Emerging City Market in Central China, 2007. GAIN Report Number CH7815

摘要

Sitting on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in the heart of China's interior, Wuhan is famous for its national transportation hub of waterways, railways, highways and domestic airlines in Central China. With a population of 8.7 million and a GDP growth rate of 14.8%, combined with a rapidly evolving consumer culture, Wuhan reveals considerable potential for U.S. food and agricultural products. The key obstacle to market development continues to be lack of familiarity with imported food among Wuhans increasingly affluent consumers. U.S. exporters considering Wuhan as a potential market should be careful to take existing fragmented logistics and distribution into account. ATO Shanghai organized a multilevel promotional event in Wuhans HRI and retail sectors this fall.
