Photo Report: China Animal Husbandry Expo (CAHE)

The 12th edition of the China Animal Husbandry Expo (CAHE), held in Qingdao attracted over 100,000 visitors and over 200 international exhibitors.

Companies also took the opportunity to advertise outside, at the entrance of the showgrounds.

This edition was also the first time that CAHE had the official label ‘International’, which was reflected in the large number of exhibitors outside China (over 200 from the 1400 exhibitors).

Before the show opens, the booths are prepared.

And some of the lettering still has to put in place at the booths.

People gather at the entrance. CAHE is an annual show and very important for the Chinese agribusiness.

Some inflatable creatures cheer up the entrance of the convention halls.

And they also attracted some young visitors.
