The China Machinery Industry Federation predicts that from 2011 to 2015, the total output value of China's food processing and packaging machinery
industry is expected to exceed 600 billion yuan, with an average annual growth rate of 16%.
With the increase in the volume of food import and export trade between China and ASEAN countries,
and the completion of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, Chinese food processing
and packaging machinery companies can enjoy zero-tariff policies when exporting to ASEAN,
which greatly reduces export costs. This shows that the export potential of China's food machinery is huge.
