Competence Centre for the Food and Agriculture Industry
The Competence Centre in China provides German companies with relevant information about the Chinese market and supports companies in entering the Chinese market with its state-sponsored comprehensive range of services.
The Chinese market is one of the largest markets in the world and thus holds great opportunities and enormous potential for German companies.
