Liangzhilong Wuhan Food Ingredients Exhibition

The 13th China Food Ingredients E‑Commerce Festival (CFTF), hosted by Liangzhilong, was successfully held at the Wuhan International Expo Center from March 28 to 31, spanning four days. This edition of the Liangzhilong Food Ingredients Exhibition exceeded 300,000 square meters in exhibition space, featuring 14 major thematic zones. It attracted more than 5,500 exhibiting companies from around the globe, showcased over 100,000 product SKUs, drew more than 350,000 professional visitors, and recorded on-site transaction volumes surpassing RMB 10 billion.

On the day preceding the opening ceremony, the inaugural Liangzhilong Supply Chain Ecosystem Conference was convened, focusing on the full‑chain development of the food ingredients industry and strategies for ecological collaboration. During the event, the “China Food Ingredients Single‑Product Champion Strategy Club” was officially established, with 19 leading enterprises—including Guolian Aquatic Products, Hengxing Group, and Gaishi Foods—joining as its first members. Additionally, Liangzhilong, in collaboration with platforms such as Shuhai, Chuanwei, and Dongpin Online, launched the preparatory committee for the “Catering Chain Joint Procurement Alliance,” while partnering with cold‑chain logistics firms like ZTO, Puling, and Wanwei to establish the “Front‑End Warehouse Delivery Alliance,” all aimed at enhancing supply chain operational and delivery efficiency.

This year’s exhibition introduced several distinctive new zones, including the A6 International Pavilion and the C5 Culinary Masters Pavilion. Within the A6 International Pavilion, the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Foodstuffs, Native Animals & Livestock organized nearly 20 high‑quality foreign‑trade enterprises to set up a dedicated “Premium Foreign‑Trade Products” showcase, highlighting over one hundred premium export items such as aquatic products, plant proteins, ready‑to‑eat foods, compound seasonings, frozen vegetables, edible fungi, and canned fruits and vegetables. Meanwhile, the C5 Culinary Masters Pavilion forged deep connections with top culinary masters nationwide, fostering close partnerships between master chefs and ingredient manufacturers, thereby promoting the spirit of craftsmanship and preserving time‑honored cooking techniques.

In parallel with the exhibition, more than 120 industry‑specific events were staged, including over 20 food‑ingredients industry forums, 22 category‑specific conferences, more than 40 live‑streamed food‑ingredients festivals, over 30 exhibitor roadshows, 10 culinary competitions, and 4 buyer‑seller procurement matchmaking sessions. Notably, the first China Breakfast Ingredients E‑Commerce Festival was held ahead of schedule in October 2024, spotlighting innovations within the Wuhan re gan mian and broader breakfast‑industry value chains, with participation from leading brands such as Changqing Maxiangyuan, Sanzhen Minsheng Sweet Shop, Cai Mingwei, and Wufangzhai.

Supported by organizations including the Chinese Cuisine Association, the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Foodstuffs, Native Animals & Livestock, and the Hubei Provincial Chu Merchants Federation, and organized by Wuhan Liangzhilong Food Ingredients Co., Ltd., this year’s event has firmly established itself as a benchmark gathering in China’s food‑ingredients supply chain sector.
