(Anhui) The 16th International Edible Oil Industry Expo

The 15th International Edible Oil Industry Expo (IEOE) 2025 was successfully held from April 11 to 13 at the Nanjing International Exhibition Center. With the theme “Developing New‑Type Productive Forces to Drive High‑Quality, Rapid Growth of the Grain and Oil Industry,” the event was independently organized by Yonghong International Exhibition Co., Ltd., a well‑known enterprise in China’s exhibition sector.

Exhibition Space and Exhibitor Scale Remain Strong. This edition featured a planned exhibition area of 24,000 square meters and attracted more than 450 exhibitors, including no fewer than 150 rice‑processing companies and 100 oil‑processing firms. The grain and oil machinery and equipment pavilion covered over 10,000 square meters. The show drew participation from a hundred industry leaders, such as COFCO Group, Wilmar International, Jiusan Group, Luhua Group, Xi Wang Group, and Samsung Group, alongside foreign‑invested enterprises from Russia, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Turkey, and other countries. The organizing committee also extended special invitations to major grain distributors from Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang, Liaoning, and Jilin provinces.

Diverse Highlights and Award‑Winning Products on Display. At the expo, Hubei Modern Agriculture Group showcased its “Chu Huaxiang” brand product line. Its flagship rice oil and camellia oil stood out among numerous exhibits thanks to their distinctive flavors and high nutritional value, earning the “Gold Award for Premium Healthy Edible Oil Products.” Rich in gamma‑oryzanol, phytosterols, and other bioactive compounds, the rice oil, along with the camellia oil—high in monounsaturated fatty acids—fully demonstrated the health‑promoting attributes of Hubei’s signature oils. Additionally, innovative offerings such as Suizhou fragrant rice and camellia‑based skincare products highlighted the company’s cutting‑edge achievements in the refined processing of grains and oils.

A Rich Array of Concurrent Events. During the exhibition, a series of events were held, including the 8th International Conference on the Development of Distribution and Agency Networks in the Grain and Food Industries, the 2nd International Symposium on Modern Grain and Oil Machinery Technologies and Cooperation, and the IGPE‑IEOE Organizing Committee’s Official Marketing Recommendation Platform’s Procurement and Ordering Fair. All forums and conferences brought together leaders from government, business, academia, and research institutions, creating favorable conditions for the successful conclusion of this year’s expo. During his visit, expert Wang Ruiyuan of the China Association for Science and Technology noted that enterprises, through a development model integrating “base + technology + brand,” have achieved breakthroughs in the quality of specialty grain and oil products, setting a new benchmark for the healthy edible oil industry.

Strong Response from Exhibitors and the Industry. This year’s expo fully demonstrated the unique operational approaches characteristic of the new era of exhibitions, breaking away from traditional exhibition models to establish a comprehensive marketing service platform for the grain and oil industry. Most exhibitors exceeded their initial expectations, with lively business negotiations unfolding on site. Attendees agreed that, after fifteen years of evolution, the China Edible Oil Expo has become a widely supported industry gathering, universally recognized as the premier event in the global oil and fat sector.

Digital Transformation and Innovative Services. This edition integrated cooperation with authoritative media outlets, facilitated Sino‑foreign partnerships, and seamlessly incorporated digital, networked, and intelligent technologies into both the exhibition and related conference activities, jointly propelling the grain and oil industry toward an even broader “digital future.” Through the Trade Division’s rigorous selection of premium grain and oil products, the establishment of an official recommendation and marketing agency platform, and the leveraging of its vast base of high‑quality consumers, the event maximized market penetration both online and offline.
