Although U.S. beef has been restricted from the Chinese market, it has never disappeared entirely. Demand remains strong, and U.S. beef enters through diverse channels. The market potential, once restrictions are lifted, is very good. |

The strong and vibrant Qingdao economy continues to drive a number of food and agricultural product markets, that should result in potentially significant growth over the next decade. As local incomes expand, the mix of products is becoming more diverse, especially in the High Value Product categories. Local and central government efforts to develop Qingdao's economy, the co-hosting of the 2008 Olympics, and the ever-rising quality of life is providing excellent market opportunities for many food and agricultural products. Increased direct imports to the Port of Qingdao, an improved distribution system, rapidly expanding middle-class, and increasing demand for high quality foods will all continue to make Qingdao a market U.S. food and agricultural product exporters cannot ignore. |

In over two decades of stellar economic development, China has bolstered not only an ever-increasing middle class, but also an increased awareness of a seriously contaminated environment. Many local entrepreneurs have successfully grown and distributed "green" produce in South China while sales of organic food are quickly gaining ground in many mid- to high-end supermarket chains. However, worrying about whether the Chinese organic food would live up to what the label claims to be, many Chinese consumers hesitate to buy products that are generally three to five times more expensive than regular items. So far, there are very limited organic food categories in the South China market, which also indicates opportunities for US organic exporters. |
