Danish Pig Farming Delegation to China

The Danish Agriculture & Food Council (DAFC) and the Danish Embassy in Beijing invite you to participate in an export delegation to China with a focus on sustainable pig farming. The delegation visit will take place in Chengdu (Sichuan Province). China is the world’s largest pig producer, and Sichuan is one of the most important provincial pig-producing and consuming regions. Sichuan is home to large integrated pig producers and processors; medium-scale farms that are rapidly modernizing and consolidating; feed and breeding companies; veterinary services and medicine; and downstream players in slaughter, cold chain etc. The sector is characterized by a strong policy push for modernization and biosecurity, growing demand for food safety and traceability, and accelerating adoption of precision farming and more environmental-friendly technologies. The large integrated producers (top ones at national and provincial level) control a big share of the market. They are often more ready to adopt advanced solutions along the pig farming value chain. In terms of production volume, Sichuan remained among China’s top three provinces for pig production in 2025. Danish companies are well positioned to offer both solutions and equipment to suit the needs of the Chinese pig farming industry, and the delegation will give the participating companies an opportunity to present their products and solutions directly to potential Chinese customers.

Price

The price for participation in the export delegation to China (Chengdu) is 18,700 DKK excl. flight, hotel, and VAT per company for one representative after deduction of 50% subsidy from The Trade Council. The price for an extra representative is 3,000 DKK per person.

NOTE: The Danish company is free to have its local representatives represent your company in full during the event. On the registration form you can, if relevant, therefore add the contact information of the local participating person/company. However, only Danish companies in Denmark with a Danish CVR number can register for participation, and the invoicing will always be issued in DKK to the Danish company address.

We reserve the right to offer you participation at a different price, if any of the above criteria change. Should this result in a higher price than quoted, you have the right to cancel your participation. Other expenses not mentioned above are at your own expense including visa, flights, dining & drink and hotel.

NOTE: The price is based on 7 participating companies, who are all eligible for subsidy, and 50 percent subsidy (already granted) from the Trade Council of Denmark. If your company is not eligible for subsidy due to de-minimis issues (having received more than 300,000 Euro in de-minimis subsidy within the past 3 years, including the present), you are obliged to pay the full price without the subsidy. The same conditions apply if you do not wish to receive subsidy.
