Meat’s Global Surge Meets China’s Green Leap: FHC 2026 – The Epicenter of Tomorrow’s Trade

The 29th Shanghai Global Food Trade Show (FHC 2026) will kick off at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from November 10 to 12, 2026. As a pivotal global F&B trade hub, it spans 200,000 square meters, hosting over 3,000 premium exhibitors and welcoming 180,000+ professional buyers. Among its 15 core product segments, the meat section stands as the ultimate gateway for overseas enterprises to tap into China’s high-quality meat market, backed by full industrial chain coverage and precise supply-demand matching.

2026 China Meat Industry: 4 Core Growth Drivers

China’s meat industry is in a high-quality development phase, with its export portfolio expanding steadily. Key 2026 updates:

  • Frozen Pork Exports Jump 78.1% YoY: Projected 4,487 tons in January, driven by ASEAN and high-end markets; deep-processed products gain share.
  • Low-Carbon Premiums: Carbon-neutral meat commands 12%-18% price premiums, supported by enterprise carbon footprint tracking.

Domestic & International Trends: Key Opportunities

Domestic Shift: Quality Over Scale

Policy-driven green breeding fuels surging demand for deep-processed/prepared meat. Enterprises expand to ASEAN/Middle East via full chains, with exports shifting from raw frozen to customized products.

Global Dynamics: Gaps & Green Focus

USDA: 2026 global beef/pork exports down (chicken +3%); Mexico beef up 24%, EU pork down 7% (African swine fever). Low carbon and traceability are key premium differentiators.
