After the business fair, the guests were also invited to participate in the "Uruguay on the Tip of the Tongue" cocktail party, where they enjoyed authentic Uruguayan traditional cuisine, such as meat products, red wine, dairy products, olive oil, caviar and other natural and delicious foods that are famous for their high quality, safety and health, and the live cooking demonstrations and traditional cultural performances of Uruguayan chefs made the participants feel the unique culture and style

The agricultural industry has become an important driving force for uruguay's economy, accounting for 3/4

Uruguay is experiencing the most prosperous and longest-lasting period of development in history, and China is its main trading partner

Agricultural trade is an important category operated by China and Ukraine, and the proportion of food is relatively large

Reporter: Could you please ask The Uruguayan Ambassador to China, Mr.

Lugris: Uruguay has a superior natural environment, in addition to which Uruguay is constantly developing high-tech for agricultural production, so the production efficiency is very high

Reporter: 2018 marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Uruguay and China, and the friendship between the two countries is deep, so what measures has Uruguay taken to increase the enthusiasm of farmers and animal husbandry products traders?

Calambra: Since the beginning of the 21st century, Ukraine and China have ushered in a stage of rapid development in relations between the two countries and reached the best in history, as can be seen

China is Uruguay's largest export target country, so we have adopted many incentive policies to encourage agricultural and animal husbandry trade practitioners, and now we will pay more attention to how to stimulate service trade exports

Lugris: Recently, Uruguay is in new negotiations with the Chinese government to get more Uruguayan products into the Chinese market, and this negotiation is nearing its end
.
After the successful negotiations, Uruguay's high-end honey, apples, frozen meat, and even horse meat will be able to enter the Chinese market
.

Reporter: While improving the quality of food safety will inevitably increase the cost of goods, how does Uruguay balance the relationship between food safety and market price advantages?

Calambra: First of all, we think that the competitiveness of a product is not only in terms of
price.
We will use advanced scientific and technological means to carry out more efficient production, and ensure the competitiveness
of products as much as possible under the premise of ensuring product quality.
Uruguayan law requires all beef to be traceable, so each of our cows has an electronic identity
.
In Uruguay, beef products that enter supermarkets can be used by consumers through the information on their packaging to obtain from which pasture the cow lives on, what it has eaten, what medications it has received.
.
.
Therefore, food safety is guaranteed, and the cost will increase, but this is a competitiveness
of the product in itself.
With the rise of China's middle class, consumer demand for high-quality products will become increasing, so we believe that Uruguayan products will also become more and more popular
with Chinese consumers.
