Xiamen in East China's Fujian province is set to host the first China (Xiamen) International Grain, Oil Product, Equipment and Technology Expo from September 20 to 22, local media reported on April 18.

The event marks the first time that Xiamen, China's largest grain consumer, has organized an expo such as this.

It will feature eight different pavilions showcasing domestic and imported grain and oil products, Taiwan products, high quality rices, food materials, grain machines, achievements in targeted poverty alleviation, and creative bakery products.

A series of supplementary activities are also expected to be held during the expo, including a creative baking competition and a summit discussing Chinese grain.

According to the expo's organizing committee, all grain production areas and more than 50 major grain and oil businesses in China have signed up for the event.

The expo will create a distribution platform with participating companies to help them sell their products in Xiamen and across China, said a spokesman for the expo's organizing committee.
