Hosting FSHOW in Shanghai holds immense strategic value, leveraging the city's position as a global economic and trade hub. Shanghai's superior infrastructure, well - established logistics network, and international connectivity make it the ideal gateway for bringing together global players in the fertilizer industry. It serves as a melting pot where domestic and overseas enterprises, buyers, and experts can easily converge, fostering seamless communication and collaboration.

China's fertilizer market presents a vast and dynamic landscape that further underscores the importance of FSHOW. The country's fertilizer demand is enormous, with annual consumption exceeding 50 million metric tons, making it one of the world's largest fertilizer markets. This high demand is closely tied to its extensive agricultural sector, as China boasts a (arable land area) of approximately 1.5 billion mu (about 100 million hectares), providing a solid foundation for large - scale agricultural production. In addition, the demand for specialty fertilizers in China is growing rapidly, with annual consumption increasing at a double - digit rate in recent years, driven by the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

The significance of FSHOW extends far beyond being a mere exhibition. It acts as a catalyst for the development of the global agrochemical industry. By facilitating one - stop cooperation across the entire industry chain, from mineral raw materials to specialty fertilizer products and supporting services like registration, testing, and logistics, it streamlines trade processes and promotes upstream - downstream integration. This comprehensive approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also drives innovation and technological exchange within the sector.

FSHOW boasts a array of compelling highlights that set it apart. One of its key strengths is the precise business matching it offers. Gathering core buyers from home and abroad, with manufacturers and traders making up over 60% of visitors, it ensures efficient connections between upstream suppliers and downstream purchasers, significantly boosting procurement cooperation efficiency.

In terms of scale, FSHOW stands out as a top - tier event. It features four concurrent exhibitions covering fertilizer, crop protection, agrochemical equipment, and agricultural technology, spanning an area of over 160,000 m² and attracting more than 2,200 exhibitors. As the leading professional fertilizer exhibition globally, FSHOW is chosen by over 650 domestic and overseas fertilizer enterprises, occupying 50,000 m², and surpassing similar agricultural comprehensive exhibitions in scale.

Moreover, the premium events held alongside FSHOW add tremendous value. The China International Fertilizer Development and Trade Conference, along with over 40 policy makers and top experts interpreting industry trends, positions the exhibition as a vane for industry development. The four parallel forums focusing on biostimulants, specialty fertilizers, fertilizer additives and synergists, and overseas fertilizer brand matchmaking sessions further establish it as a highland for technological innovation in the industry.

As attested by industry leaders, such as Zheng Nan from Xinxin Chemical Industry Group, who notes that more and more overseas clients actively propose meetings at the exhibition, viewing it as a crucial opportunity to meet existing clients and acquire new ones. Shan Junwei from Qingdao Seawin Biotech Group Co., Ltd. emphasizes that over the past two decades, numerous fertilizer enterprises have gone international through this platform, driving the rapid development of China's agrochemical industry and enhancing its internationalization level. It is clear that FSHOW is not just a Chinese exhibition but an international one, helping enterprises establish important partnerships and explore global markets.
