From May 7th to 17th, 2017, under the leadership of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Commerce, Shaanxi Plant Extract Association and 31 Shaanxi key enterprises, a total of 34 people, visited Switzerland, Austria, and Italy to carry out economic and trade activities. As the secretary-general of the Association, Plamed founder Byron Xue signed strategic cooperation agreements with relevant business associations of the three countries on behalf of the Association.
Shaanxi is a province with a large scale of plant extracts in China. It is also the main production base. There are industry’s top R&D and production talents. Mount Qinling is rich in plant resources.
However, Shaanxi province’s plant extract companies have insufficient export experience and lack of awareness of overseas promotion. The international market development is far worse than Hunan and Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The province’s plant extracts are mainly exported through southern and coastal cities. If we do not have in-depth and extensive contact with the international market, and not further understand the real needs of international customers, the development of Shaanxi’s plant extracts may encounter difficulties. We should upgrade the industrial structure and improve product quality around the international market. It is urgent for the enterprises to go global and directly connect with foreign customers’ needs.
On the evening of May 9th, the “China Shaanxi-Swiss Geneva Economic and Trade Cooperation Promotion Conference” hosted by the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Commerce and Xi’an International Trade & Logistics Park, was held in Geneva, Switzerland. At the conference, Shaanxi plant extracts companies invited a number of European customers to witness the development process and future plans of Shaanxi plant extracts.

At the meeting, the plant extract enterprises and Austrian enterprises has an in-depth communication. At the same time, Byron Xue signed an EU market development strategic cooperation agreement with the Austrian-China Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of the Shaanxi Plant Extract Association.
On May 15, the China Shaanxi-Milan Economic and Trade Cooperation Promotion Conference was successfully held. Byron signed a strategic agreement with the Italian-Chinese Enterprise Cooperation Development Association on behalf of the Shaanxi Plant Extract Association.
