QINGDAO, China, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The 16th World Processed Deciduous Fruit Conference (CANCON16), the largest and most influential international event for the canned fruit industry, recently concluded with discussions on the future challenges and innovations shaping the sector. The conference drew industry leaders, processors, and growers from major producing nations like the USA, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, and various European countries. Qingdao Countree Food Co., Ltd. played a central role, serving as the first official host for the Beijing sessions and the lead organiser of the Caoxian programme.
Countree Food’s role at CANCON16 reflects its long-standing strength as a global supplier and its active contribution to the industry. The company is a trusted partner to more than 20 Fortune 500 companies, supplying retailers and food service leaders such as Sysco, Kroger, Heinz, and Edeka. Its commitment to meeting rigorous standards extends from cultivation to the final product; in collaboration with fruit experts, the company is introducing premium new yellow peach varieties to ensure quality control from seed to table.
In parallel, the company has expanded its operations with new production facilities, including in Inner Mongolia, achieving a fivefold increase in its estimated production capacity. This expansion builds upon its established capabilities, enhancing its ability to meet rising global demand and ensuring greater reliability in serving international markets.
“We are driven by the aim of being outstanding in quality and complete in categories,” said 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 top brands expect from us.”
Looking ahead, Countree Food will showcase its enhanced capabilities at upcoming international trade fairs like ANUGA and PLMA Chicago. The company will feature its award-winning product innovations, which have been previously recognised by SIAL Innovation Selection and PLMA’s NEW PRODUCT EXPOs.
