Central and Eastern European Dairy Products: Ningbo Consumers' New Favorites
By Dong Na
The 2nd China-CEEC Expo will soon be held in Ningbo. In recent years, a large amount of high-quality imported products from Central and Eastern Europe have flooded into the Chinese market, captivating the hearts of consumers. Now, Ningbo shoppers can buy even more Central and Eastern European agro-goods close to home.
At the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, the Central and Eastern European products pavilion are stocked with countless types of imported products: food, beverages, cosmetics, household goods, personal care products, and more. Among them, the most popular are undisputedly dairy products.
"CEE dairy products are not only of good quality, but also affordable. In the past few years, items such as Polish UTH milk have gradually penetrated the Ningbo market and are well-loved by consumers. The dairy sales volume of Q1 2021 has reached 50% of 2020's total import volume.It's going up very fast," said a manager of an importer based in the Ningbo Free Trade Zone.
Statistics from January to March this year indicate that the cumulative volume and value of imported CEE dairy products at Ningbo Port grew rapidly, reaching 4,183 tons and 22.7 million yuan respectively, an increase of 73.76% and 48.88% year-on-year.
This year, Ningbo Customs has implemented a series of new policies to facilitate the entry of more high-quality CEE dairy products. These measures include speeding up the inspection of imports, shortening the customs clearance time, reducing fees for Chinese importers, and improving the track-and-trace system to guarantee the highest level of food safety for Chinese consumers.
The Customs has actively developed online and offline platforms for importers to access information, organized workshops for companies of all sizes, and provided clear interpretations of policies, regulations, and national standards on CEE dairy goods, paving the way for such imports to grow even more in the future.
