China is the world's largest consumer and importer of food and agricultural products. With the increase in production costs, China's food and agricultural product exports are moving from mainly exporting raw materials and OEM to a new stage of high-quality development in exporting processing technology, brands, and marketing models. "Ou Meng, Deputy Secretary General of the Food and Soil Chamber of Commerce, said that in the first quarter of this year, Guangdong Province alone exported $580 million in prefabricated vegetables, with canned food exports increasing 3.2 times year-on-year and soup exports increasing 52.1% year-on-year. As the export of food and agricultural products moves towards the digital era and the realization of ecological value, the demand for big data and related information in international trade and international markets by industry enterprises becomes more rigid. Building a "public service platform for international market business information" is conducive to improving the public service system of food and agricultural products.
It is reported that as a global trade data retrieval system, the "International Market Business Public Service Platform" covers 8.58 million importers and 4.5 million exporters in over 140 countries and regions worldwide, with 98 million customer phone numbers, 28 million product information, and monthly trade data updates. The organizer also plans to organize a team of industry experts to support personalized customization services, turning the platform into a comprehensive information service platform for the foreign trade industry, and promoting high-quality development of foreign trade through trade digitization.
