The American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, or AmCham Shanghai, will collaborate with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to once again mobilize the American Food and Agriculture exhibition delegation to participate in the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE), which will be held in Shanghai from Nov 5 to 10.

The American Food and Agriculture Pavilion will be located at 1.1A6-02 of the CIIE venue, covering an area of over 240 square meters. It will feature 14 exhibitors from various sectors, including US state governments, national-level agricultural associations, food exports, manufacturing, and packaging. The pavilion's goal is to promote increased exports of US agricultural products to China and enhance commercial relations between the two countries.

Last year, AmCham Shanghai partnered with the USDA to co-organize the first official US government pavilion for participation in the 6th CIIE.
