SHANGHAI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) — At the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE), Kazakhstan, known for its agro-industrial complex, is displaying a wide range of products, including sausages, chocolate, ice cream, fruit juice and dairy products, attracting numerous visitors, as well as buyers and industry professionals.

Sixty-five companies from Kazakhstan are participating in the current exhibition, which is taking place from November 5 to 10 in the eastern Chinese city of Shanghai, the CIIE Bureau reported.

Karat TOO Marketing Manager Asiya Otelbay said, "This year we're just entering the Chinese market and participating in this exhibition for the first time." Having received permission to sell in China, the company is currently successfully undergoing laboratory quality testing for its products ready for export, she added.

"We primarily supply first- and second-grade flour to China. We are currently making our first shipment of premium flour to Yiwu (Zhejiang Province, eastern China), which will be completed this month," said Asiya Otelbay.

She also stated: “We expect to enter into contracts and find trade distributors to distribute our products online, that is, in supermarkets and stores.”

At the stand of the company “Fruit Lab”, participating in CIIE, the apple puree attracted the attention of visitors with its original packaging design.

According to company volunteer Adil Abdikarim, in Almaty, a city always associated with apples, apple trees grow in mountain forests or specially designated areas. Because of this, the fruit is considered more natural and juicy than those grown elsewhere.

“We supply applesauce to China, completely natural, without any chemicals or additives,” he said.

According to him, due to the advantage in quality and taste, the annual volume of exports to China is about five tons.

"At the previous two similar exhibitions, we found a very large number of partners with whom we are currently actively negotiating and maintaining close ties. We hope to find the right buyers and intermediaries this year who will provide competitively priced delivery between Kazakhstan and Shanghai, as well as all other points of sale," said Adil Abdikarim.

Bizhan Meat Processing Plant LLC, represented in the "Made in Almaty" pavilion, participated in CIIE for the first time in 2018. "We had representatives from many trading houses and restaurants come to see us. Getting to know them is a great benefit for the company," noted the company's Deputy General Director, Bakytzhan Kadirberdiev.

Shin-Line LLC, which is participating in the CIIE for the third time, is presenting its various brands of ice cream, popsicles, and ice cream at this year's exhibition.

According to the company's China Sales Director, Oleg Akulinin, they began supplying products to the Chinese market in 2017 and now export approximately 100 tons of products to China annually. He stated that their company's ice cream is currently sold through distributors throughout China.

"We've had several clients come to us every day, exchange contacts, and we'll continue to negotiate," said O. Akulinin.

He stated, "We hope that Chinese consumers will recognize our ice cream at the exhibition and seek it out in stores. We also expect our sales to grow and expand. To achieve this, we will continue to participate in this exhibition."

Kazakhstan has participated in the CIIE for eight consecutive years since the exhibition's inception in 2018. Each year, the range of exhibits becomes more diverse, while the number of companies from Kazakhstan continues to increase.

According to a report posted on the official website of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, following the 7th CIIE, exhibiting companies from Kazakhstan signed contracts worth $120 million for the supply of meat and fat-and-oil products, dried camel milk, juices, and marmalades. -0-

SHANGHAI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) — Panasonic unveiled an intelligent washing machine that automatically recognizes fabric types, analyzes stains, optimizes washing parameters, and can be controlled by voice at the ongoing China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai.

"This machine embodies our vision of smart living. Many of our cutting-edge products are designed, manufactured, and first launched in China," said Tetsuro Homma, Executive Vice President of Panasonic Holdings Corporation and Managing Director of China and Northeast Asia, at the 8th China International Import Expo, which runs from November 5 to 10.

This year's exhibition brought together 290 Fortune Global 500 companies and other leading industry players showcasing their latest innovations. As the world's second-largest import market, China's strong openness and commitment to high-quality development are fueling global demand and bolstering the confidence of multinational corporations.

Tetsuro Homma noted that their products are developed with the needs of China's broad consumer base in mind.

“Leveraging China’s rapid advancement in AI, we have deployed DeepSeek and our local AI models to create devices that support smarter and healthier lifestyles,” he said.

As evidence of this bilateral partnership, Panasonic employs 50,000 people in China, 10,000 of whom are engineers. The company's 60 Chinese subsidiaries account for 30 percent of its global revenue.

On November 4, American materials science giant Dow opened a cooling research and development studio in Shanghai, aiming to meet the growing needs of emerging industries in the Chinese market, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and automation.

Dow, which is participating in CIIE for the eighth time, will showcase a number of new products at the 2025 Expo, including an immersion cooling fluid designed to ensure high performance and energy efficiency in data centers.

“As China strives for high-quality development, the country needs more innovative and high-performance materials, and that’s what we’re showcasing here,” said Brandy Lange, president of Dow Performance Materials.

Last month, China released proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for the country's socio-economic development, which outlines further measures to expand voluntary and unilateral opening-up.

Executives from foreign companies, including Danish pharmaceutical firm Novo Nordisk, told Xinhua that they are closely studying the proposals to develop the plan.

“The document places an emphasis on the prevention and control of chronic diseases, which will benefit the Chinese people and is in line with our commitment to protecting public health,” said Zhou Xiaping, senior vice president of Novo Nordisk and president of Novo Nordisk China.

"At previous CIIEs, many of our products were presented as research papers or exhibits. Now, the exhibition has become a platform for presenting new products in China," she said. Since entering the Chinese market 31 years ago, Novo Nordisk has introduced 22 innovative products and 11 innovative injectable devices for the treatment of diabetes, obesity, and rare diseases.

Over the past seven years, CIIE has cumulatively raised over US$500 billion in planned transactions and helped more than 1,100 foreign enterprises and investment promotion agencies conduct targeted matchmaking activities across China, connecting new products, technologies, and services with the growing needs of China's 1.4 billion consumers.

Wang Xuekun, director of the Hongqiao Research Center at the International Economic Forum, said the interaction between global enterprises and China embodies the principle of win-win cooperation.

"China's high-quality development opens up new opportunities for the world by stimulating market demand and attracting investment, allowing multinational corporations to reap significant profits while participating in the country's modernization," he said.

Over the past five years, China's foreign direct investment rate has remained around 9 percent, one of the highest in the world. -0-

BEIJING, November 9 (Xinhua) — China's producer price index (PPI) decline continued to slow in October 2025.

The PPI, a measure of wholesale producer price changes, fell 2.1 percent year-on-year in October, down from 2.3 percent in September, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported on Sunday. This slowing trend has been observed for three consecutive months.

National Statistical Service statistician Dong Lijuan explained this by regulating the production potential of key industries, intensifying efforts to form a modernized industrial system, and unlocking consumer potential.

In monthly terms, the PPI rose by 0.1 percent in October, marking the first increase since the beginning of 2025.

As Dong Lijuan noted, in October, the improved supply-demand balance led to price increases in some sectors, such as coal mining and beneficiation. Furthermore, the change in global prices affected pricing in some domestic sectors.

Thus, in October, rising global prices for non-ferrous metals led to prices in China's mining and processing industry rising compared to the previous month, while falling global oil prices led to lower prices in the domestic oil and gas sector, the expert said.

China's consumer price index, the main measure of inflation, rose 0.2 percent year-on-year in October, official data showed. -0-
