Agricultural products continue to expand their "circle of friends" as they go global.

In the packaging workshop of an international trading company in Qin'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, workers expertly select, sort, and pack the refreshingly sweet Qin'an melons—ready to be shipped to overseas markets. Meanwhile, in the Gonggan citrus orchards of Sihui City, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province, farmers’ phones keep buzzing with euro-denominated order confirmations. By 2025, as global trade barriers remain high, China’s agricultural processing enterprises are leveraging technological innovation as their spearhead and cultural empowerment as their shield—boldly forging ahead into new, untapped markets amid challenging headwinds. According to recent data, China’s agricultural trade volume for the first half of this year reached $147.84 billion, a 6.5% decline compared to the same period last year. Notably, however, exports climbed by 1.8%, totaling $49.34 billion. These figures underscore the resilience of China’s foreign trade sector. Amid mounting external pressures, businesses have demonstrated remarkable adaptability by innovating their strategies, strengthening distribution channels, and actively expanding into international markets—driving export growth toward higher-quality, more competitive products.
