AustCham Foundation member, Avocados Australia, made its debut at the seventh China International Import Expo (CIIE) last week, signing a AUD300 million trade memorandum with Shanghai Markets and further agreements with JD Super and the CFN Association. 

中国澳大利亚商会的基石会员——澳大利亚牛油果公司，于上周在第七届中国国际进口博览会（CIIE）上首次亮相，与上海市场成功签署了价值3亿澳元的牛油果贸易合作备忘录，并与京东超市及中国食品土畜进出口商会达成了进一步的合作协议。

In an interview with Yicai Global at the Shanghai Markets MOU signing, AustCham China CEO Tian Zhang highlighted the immense potential in Australia-China trade for CIIE participants.

在上海市场合作备忘录签署仪式现场，中国澳大利亚商会首席执行官张天粟接受了第一财经全球的采访，强调了进博会参与者为中澳贸易所带来的巨大潜力与机遇。

Tian noted that the special CIIE approval process to bring Australian avocados to this year’s expo, despite the fruit not yet having China market access, showed the Shanghai government’s strong support for including high-quality Australian products in this year’s expo.

张天粟表示，得益于今年进博会的特许审批政策，尽管澳大利亚牛油果目前尚未获得进入中国市场的准入许可，仍能够在进博会上亮相，充分彰显了上海政府对高品质澳大利亚产品在进博会上展出的强力支持和重视。

Tian also highlighted the rising demand for avocados among Chinese consumers and emphasised that CIIE is a perfect platform for Australian businesses to engage with the China market.

张天粟还强调了中国消费者对牛油果需求的持续攀升，并高度评价进博会是澳大利亚企业与中国市场深度互动的绝佳平台。 

Overall, the record-breaking participation of Australian businesses at this year’s CIIE underscores the growing opportunities for Australian exporters in China and paves the way for enhanced bilateral trade and stronger economic ties between the two countries.

总体而言，澳大利亚企业在今年进博会上的创纪录参与，不仅突显了澳大利亚出口企业在中国市场的巨大潜力与广阔前景，更为推动两国双边贸易的深化与经济联系的加强奠定了坚实的基础。
