China aims to foster international cooperation in the greener economy.
Agroforestry Group (AFG), one of the world’s leading private forestry and agriculture management companies, has joined the Guangzhou Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises (GZAEFI). GZAEFI’s acceptance of Agroforestry Group now places it alongside companies such as McDonald’s, Procter & Gamble and Shell on the Fortune Global 500. For Agroforestry Group, this is an important strategic step that will enhance its local development in China as well as foster international cooperation in the greener economy.
“The demand from Chinese customers for high quality, scarce, and sustainable forestry and agricultural assets is experiencing explosive growth,” emphasized Li Zhen, Agroforestry Group’s China Partner and General Manager. “Joining the Guangzhou Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises will accelerate our access to the dynamic economic hub of the Guangdong – Hong Kong – Macao Greater Bay Area, and deepen brand synergy and market development with top global multinational institutions.”
Guangzhou Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises was established in November 1987 with the approval of the municipal government. Among the association’s members are several Fortune Global 500 companies and multinationals from a variety of industries, including financial services, manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods, food and beverage, and electronics.
Going forward, Agroforestry Group (AFG) will take further steps to deepen its network domestically across China. Its membership in the GZAEFI is just the beginning as it explores additional business opportunities in China by collaborating with local partners and other multinational corporations.
