Amidst the continuous autumn rain and the gradually thinning crowd, the 30th Yangling Agricultural High-tech Expo successfully completed all its scheduled events and came to a perfect conclusion.

A grand event, a bountiful harvest. In just five short days, the 30th Yangling Agricultural High-tech Expo saw over 2,000 exhibitors from 49 countries and regions, attracting 1.0335 million visits from both domestic and international "fellow countrymen" (locals), and achieving a remarkable trade volume of 111.277 billion yuan. With outstanding results and a strong reputation, the Expo presented a landmark summit with great success.

As the lights dimmed, the excitement lingered. Looking back on this year’s Expo, many of its unique features and highlights are still worth savoring.

A Truly International Flavor

Entering the international pavilion of the Expo, visitors were greeted by a bustling crowd and the strong aroma of "foreign coffee." At the exhibition halls, products from Kazakhstan, the Netherlands, India, the Russian Federation, Iran, Tajikistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries attracted attention. Stalls were filled with a variety of exotic products: coffee, milk powder, chocolate, bread, honey, wine, sausages, wooden crafts, porcelain, carpets, jade, and other unique foods, agricultural products, and handicrafts. It resembled a vast "global agricultural supermarket," sparking a shopping "fever" among Chinese visitors. Foreign exhibitors, speaking fluent Mandarin, skillfully promoted their agricultural products, busy with eager customers.

The trade of agricultural products among the public was booming, and official forum activities were held with great enthusiasm. Both grassroots and official interactions promoted widespread and in-depth international exchanges.

This year’s Yangling Agricultural High-tech Expo featured several key international cooperation activities, highlighting the following characteristics:
