The 6th China Specialty Food Conference (2021) Open for Registration_Local Updates_News and Media

　　The China Specialty Food Conference began in 2016, when it was first hosted by the former State Food and Drug Administration. It has been successfully held for five consecutive sessions, in Beijing (2016 and 2018), Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province (2017), Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province (2019) and Changsha City, Hunan Province (2020), respectively. It has developed into a large-scale industry event with more than 2,000 audience members, over 100 speakers, and nearly 20 sub-forums. It has received strong support and recognition from the government, experts and industry, becoming an important annual industry event.

　　With China’s continuous socio-economic development, and the gradual improvement of people's living standards, the public's pursuit of health is growing, providing a unique space for the development of the health industry. As an important health product, special food is a guarantee for people's high quality of life and is an important part of the health industry. While bringing economic benefits to society, special food also makes a positive and important contribution to improving public health and promoting the implementation of the Healthy China strategy.

　　In 2021, which marks the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the industry is grasping new opportunities and moving towards a new stage, striving to put the Healthy China strategy into practice. As this year also marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the CNHFA would like to take this opportunity to share front-end research, bring together industry forces, connect marketing systems, showcase industry achievements and discuss development prospects.
