At the heart of Chinese animal production
Part of Jiangsu Province and located along the Yangtze River Valley, in ancient times Nanjing was prominent as the Southern capital of China. Today it stands at the heart of a provincial animal production industry valued at almost ¥117 billion per year. Jiangsu Province itself has bred a large number of leading enterprises in this industry and it is an important base for many international companies that have established a local presence to serve the China market.
The modern facilities of the International Expo Center in Nanjing and the city’s international and national transport links make this a great location where global suppliers and Chinese business leaders can meet comfortably. VIV China’s organisers have acted to extend the trade fair’s all-China reach by strengthening ties of co-operation with major agricultural and animal husbandry agencies in key regions of the country --- in Anhui, Henan, Hebei, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi and Guangdong as well as in Jiangsu.
