The 24th China Xinjiang International Agricultural Expo (CXIAF) opened on August 7 at the Xinjiang International Convention and Exhibition Center in Urumqi, running through August 8. The expo holds UFI international certification and China's 5A-level agricultural certification, making it the largest professional agricultural exhibition in northwest China.
The exhibition covers 120,000 square meters with over 2,500 companies participating, a 1,000-mu field variety demonstration area showcasing 2,600+ premium varieties, and expects over 100,000 professional visitors. The expo focuses on Xinjiang-specific needs including saline-alkali soil improvement, integrated water-fertilizer drip irrigation, smart greenhouses, agricultural IoT, and agricultural robotics.
Notably, buyers from multiple Central Asian countries will attend, creating a Belt and Road agricultural trade platform. Changji Prefecture accounts for one-third of Xinjiang's seed production volume. Xinjiang has developed into a hub connecting China and Central Asia for agricultural technology export and trade cooperation.
