Crossing Mountains and Seas to "Hunan" Expo Africa | Expo | Mountains and Seas
Africa, with an area of approximately 30 million square kilometers, is the second largest continent in the world. Here, there are unique natural landscapes and cultural customs scattered throughout.
China and Africa have crossed mountains and seas to become a closer community of destiny, which has always been a major concern of President Xi Jinping. In September 2018, President Xi Jinping proposed at the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to build a closer China-Africa community with a shared future, setting a new milestone for China-Africa friendly cooperation.

The China Africa Economic and Trade Expo is an important initiative of the "Eight Major Actions" of China Africa cooperation, and an important platform for China to carry out economic and trade cooperation and exchange dialogue with African countries. It is held every two years.
Driven by the China Africa Economic and Trade Expo, products such as South African oranges, Namibian oysters, and Ethiopian coffee have come to the dining tables of Chinese people, which has also brought a broad market for African related industries.

Xiao Ka Zhu Coffee Co., Ltd. founder Jing Jianhua has been directly communicating with African coffee farmers to introduce high-quality African products to the Chinese market. Through platforms such as the China Africa Economic and Trade Expo, he is also more likely to have face-to-face communication and exchange with coffee growers, local coffee associations, and organizations. Through direct harvesting in China and Africa, his cost of coffee beans has been reduced by 15% to 20%.
