Food Safety and the Internet+ conference

6 November 2015

Trading between New Zealand and China has soared since the bilateral FTA was signed in 2008, resulting in the food and healthcare industries reaching an historical trading-high last year.

Event organisers suggest that there is still great demand from the China market for New Zealand products. Both exporters and importers are keen to better understand and respond to both compliance issues and good practice management challenges, so as to further enhance trade opportunities.

The conference is all about exploring those opportunities with key colleagues from China and from New Zealand.

This is the fourth annual event of its type, and this year the organisers are proud to have Crowe Horwath as their event partner.

Keynote speakers include:

• Representative of AQSIQ;

• Director of CCIC Group;

• Director of Traceability Centre of CCIC;

• Mr. Zhang Fan, Economic & Commercial Councillor of Chinese Embassy;

• Hon. Philip Burdon, Patron of NZCFSA;

• Mr. Phil Mulvey, COO of Crowe Horwath NZ;

• Dr Keith McLea, CEO of ESR;

• CEO of Beijing CP Commercial & Trading Co. Ltd. (Major e-commerce platform in China; sales exceeding 7bn RMB/yr.);

• Representative of MPI;
