The power of functional foods is the key to Fi Asia-China's success

Ni and Hi were developed by the show organizer, UBM in order to respond
to the food industry's growing interest in the application of health and
natural ingredients to improve product quality and consumer health. China's
ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is based on the
philosophy of health and wellness through natural ingredients, made it the
perfect location for visitors to explore the world's most established source
of functional ingredients.

There are over 8,000 registered TCM ingredients in China, and many are
being tested by major international corporations like Unilever and research
organizations such as Wageningen University for use as functional food
ingredients. China is already the leading supplier of herbal extracts like
artemisinin, solanesol, St. John's wort and gingko extract, and is set to
become a major source of "superfruits" like Goji and seabuckthorn berries
which are gaining worldwide attention.

Hi/Fi Asia-China provided the ideal platform for companies searching for
high quality suppliers of these ingredients. Event Director, Vincent Brain
says "The Chinese consumer is becoming more sophisticated. As buyers start to
look beyond price, there is an increased demand for products that have
demonstrable health benefits. Companies such as Nestle and Coca Cola have
established R&D bases in China to develop products for both the domestic and
the international market. These shows are designed to bring suppliers of
functional and natural ingredients - both Chinese and international - to the
attention of major industry players."

Industry experts shine a light on key trends in China

The International Union of Food Science and Technology (IUFoST) developed
a high-level conference program highlighting the ingredients industry's
business critical issues in China. Functional ingredients and their role in
combating obesity was high on the agenda, as was the New Foods Innovations &
Food Safety, one of the most high profile issues effecting the food
ingredients industry. A captive audience was present to hear how the crucial
issues of food safety in China is impacting the global supply chain for
ingredients.

Featuring the most influential industry experts in China, the conference
addressed today's most crucial issues on "Regulatory Approval of New
Varieties of Food Additives in China" and "The Application of Food Additives
in Liquid and Baking Food", organized by Shanghai Food Additive Trade
Association. All conferences and showcases attracted 825 attendees, and have
been organized and concluded successfully.

The promise of cost effective, safe ingredients is a major factor in the
industry's enthusiasm for Fi Asia-China. However, equally enticing was the
opportunity to explore the incredible potential of the Chinese market. As Mr.
Brain explains, "Whilst the present economic climate has hit consumer
confidence, the Chinese food industry is still expected to grow an additional
109% by 2013. China's new middle class remains a resilient market for
international companies looking to protect their revenues as core markets
mature."

ingredient industry and provide a showcase for growing global markets.
