Frequently referred to as China's Agricultural City, Yangling was the first in 
China to be declared a national agricultural high-tech industry demonstration 
zone. The 27th CAF will be held here between Oct. 22 and 26.

First held in 1994, the CAF provides a platform for the demonstration of the 
latest achievements in agricultural science and technology, and also a window 
for agricultural professionals from around the world to engage in exchange and 
cooperation.

With the theme 'Innovation Leads High-quality Development', the exhibition area 
of the fair will cover 160,000 square meters and will have 2,000 booths. The 
event will feature more than 40 special exhibitions including the Shanghai 
Cooperation Organization (SCO) Agricultural Exhibition, the Agricultural 
Hi-Tech Exhibition, and the International Seed Industry Exhibition. The China 
ambassadors of Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and other countries, and the heads of the 
United Nations World Food Program, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and 
other international organizations in China will attend the fair. The 
China-based representatives of companies from 29 countries, for example Germany 
and Switzerland, among others, will also be in attendance.

In response to COVID-19 prevention and control measures, the organizing 
committee developed China's first online digital agricultural exhibition with 
the CLOUD OF CAF platform, which enables the integration of offline and online 
exhibitions. With the CLOUD OF CAF app, people can watch this event online 
without having to leave their home or office, and can participate in a range of 
activities such as app-based contract negotiation and execution, and live 
streaming of conferences.

As a result of China's open and inclusive approach and its pursuit of win-win 
cooperation, agricultural exchange and cooperation between China and other 
countries is increasingly robust, thereby facilitating agricultural 
developments in the context of strengthening regional integration.

Since 2014, Yangling has been actively involved in the development of 
agricultural science and technology throughout the world with the delivery of 
several training programs to agricultural management organizations. For 
example, the city conducted eight workshops for SCO member states, covering a 
range of topics from modern farming techniques, water-conservation irrigation, 
and planting and breeding, attracting nearly 200 participants.

To date, Yangling has established cooperative relations in the field of modern 
agriculture with more than 60 countries, and has signed agreements to 
strengthen agricultural cooperation with government departments of more than 20 
countries, most recently with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of 
Kazakhstan.
