From October 27 to 29, China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition was held at Zhengzhou in Henan province. Zhang Taolin, Chinese Vice Agriculture Minister and Chairman of China Agricultural Mechanization Association (CAMA), attended the opening ceremony and visited the exhibition.

 For a better exhibition, three associations made careful arrangements, including holding workshops on the development of agricultural machinery industry, technical lectures, information-sharing meetings, and release conferences of new products and technologies. These arrangements have provided information concerning policies and technologies for enterprises expanding markets and users purchasing products, which also underscored the role of the national exhibition as the platform intended for consumers to know about the supply and demand, and explore markets.

 The exhibition showed progress of agricultural machinery development, served a bridge between the government, enterprises and agricultural machinery users, offered opportunities for users to learn and communicate, and strengthened cooperation. The exhibition this year saw more than 1 600 enterprises from home and abroad and various kinds of machinery equipment used in agricultural production and construction. Both the area of exhibition, amounting to 170 000 square meters, and the number of visitors reached a new high. It is also the first time to set up an international exhibition section, making the event more globalized.
