The Agriculture, Food and Beverage Working Group is a communication platform between European companies and Chinese regulators/authorities. The working group aims to foster a better understanding and implementation of policies and regulations, in order to promote food safety and improve market access for European food and beverage companies operating throughout China. The working group is composed of a wide range of companies, including importers and exporters, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, catering service providers, specialised testing laboratories and consultancies. Currently, there are over 150 member companies in the group.

 

Following the consolidation of the European Chamber’s working groups in 2015, the Agriculture, Food and Beverage Working Group now has three sub-working groups – the Cheese Industry Desk, the Food for Special Medical Purpose Advisory Committee and the Paediatric Nutrition Desk. The Cheese Industry Desk was established in 2014 and has nine prominent European cheese producers and industry associations as its members. The Food for Special Medical Purpose Advisory Committee was established in 2016 and has four leading international manufacturers that specialise in special nutrition. The Paediatric Nutrition Desk was established in 2009 and currently has eight international companies as members and five domestic manufacturers as local partners. All three desks represent member interests and promote dialogue and communication among all relevant stakeholders.
