QINGDAO, China, Oct. 10, 2025 — The 16th World Processed Deciduous Fruit Conference (CANCON16), recognised as the largest and most influential international gathering for the canned fruit industry, recently concluded. It featured discussions on future challenges and innovations influencing the sector. The conference brought together industry leaders, processors, and growers from key producing nations, including the USA, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and various European countries. Qingdao Countree Food Co., Ltd. played a pivotal role, serving as the first official host for the Beijing sessions and the principal organiser of the Caoxian programme.
Countree Food’s involvement at CANCON16 highlights its enduring strength as a global supplier and its active contribution to the industry. The company is a trusted collaborator for over 20 Fortune 500 companies, providing products to retailers and food service leaders such as Sysco, Kroger, Heinz, and Edeka. Its dedication to upholding stringent standards spans from cultivation to the final product; in partnership with fruit specialists, the company is introducing premium new yellow peach varieties to ensure rigorous quality control from ‘seed to table’.
Simultaneously, the company has broadened its operations with new production facilities, including locations in Inner Mongolia, leading to a fivefold increase in its estimated production capacity. This expansion leverages its established capabilities, enhancing its ability to meet escalating global demand and ensuring greater consistency in serving international markets.
“We are driven by the objective of achieving outstanding quality and offering comprehensive categories,” stated Chris San, Executive Chairman of CANCON16 and Vice President of CCFIA. “This expansion ensures we can deliver the scale, quality, and reliability that the world’s leading brands expect from us.”
Looking forward, Countree Food plans to showcase its enhanced capabilities at forthcoming international trade fairs like ANUGA and PLMA Chicago. The company will present its award-winning product innovations, which have previously been recognised by SIAL Innovation Selection and PLMA’s NEW PRODUCT EXPOs.
