We cordially invite you to a discussion on “e-Commerce in Food – Chance for the Industry, Challenge for Authorities”, which is organized by the German Embassy Beijing in cooperation with OAV - German Asia-Pacific Business Association.

Already the world’s biggest, the Chinese online basic supply business sector is developing quickly.
