The city of Baotou got Ministry of Agriculture approval recently as the site of next year's China Green Food Exposition, the 18th so far, a chance for the city to showcase national green foods and promote its business.

China Green Food Exposition is China's most professional and largest green food gathering. The city began its application process back in early 2015 by inviting Agriculture Ministry officials to come take a look at its facilities and to offer suggestions on its green agricultural development, and asked the leaders of 36 green good centers across the nation to share their thoughts.

Then, in August, the city government submitted its application for host of the 18th expo to the China Green Food Development Center and eventually won the bid for the grand event.
