World Seafood Shanghai 2020

The aim of facilitating expo participation, is to promote seafood from Norway towards Chinese buyers; importers, distributors, food service, and retail. On occasion of World Seafood Shanghai, NSC also has the pleasure of inviting Norwegian seafood exporters to join our seminar- and retail program on 25 August. ​
​
World Seafood Shanghai has become China's second largest seafood exhibition, after China Fisheries. The expo has developed very positive in recent years and today is an international and relevant arena. Typical exhibitors are the major importers and processing companies that focus on domestic sales in China. There is also a growing presence from foreign exporters.​
​
At the fair you will be able to meet seafood buyers from the eastern part of China who today typically trade from importers, but who seek to buy directly from foreign exporters. The expo is suited for all exporters of Norwegian seafood focusing on the China domestic market. Buyers from the large Chinese processing companies will only be present to a limited extent.​

The Seafood Council will also create an exporter catalogue to ensure digital presence for exporters not able to participate on our stand during the expo. The exporter catalogue will be available both on our digital platform and in print. All Norwegian exporters to China can register their contact- and product details here. Exporter catalogue registration deadline is August 01 2020.

• Participating companies are required to pay the rent cost for their own stand area and each company will be invoiced after the expo. NSC will cover construction costs and decoration.
