When the 11th China Agricultural Trade Fair (CATF) opened, on Dec 1, in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province, it had 4,000 enterprises from all across the mainland, as well as Taiwan, and some foreign.

This year's CATF, which is a major trade fair organized by China's Agriculture Ministry with 10 sessions under its belt, is trying to be a showcase for China’s modern agricultural and socialist achievements and its new countryside work that integrates production, sales, cooperation, and exchanges with greater competitiveness to benefit farmers, coordinated development, modernization, industrialization, and urbanization.

The four-day event has five agricultural exhibit areas – a comprehensive one, a specialized one, an international one, a Hubei provincial zone, and distinctive displays -- on a 12–hectare area, with nine companies from the city of Datong, Shanxi, displaying several dozen organic products, including noodles, buckwheat, and agar-agar jelly.

Guo Yingguang, Shanxi's vice-governor, and Li Pingshe, head of the province's agriculture dep't, praised the work of the Datong delegation, which is led by Liu Guoqing, the city's deputy Party secretary.
