The era of virtual meetings is still going strong. In this article you will be able to find another interesting online (and offline) event that helps to connect the global market and seize business opportunities by breaking the time and space barriers
In the last couple of years, China’s vending industry has developed rapidly, with an average annual growth rate of over 50%, and the part of the industry that has a big role in this report is the export of the machines. Customs Statistics show that in 2019 alone China shipped around 282,000 vending machines abroad, bringing in 103.17 million US dollars or, represented in percentages, 17% more than in the previous years.
Preview of the event
Since VMF is the biggest event in Asia, it represents the ideal platform to help connect global businesses during the time of the pandemic. After the positive experience the organizers had with the Online Matchmaking Service (which benefited buyers from 12 countries in 2020), the decision has been made to make it possible all over again this year! It is supported in this by 80+ Expert Advisors from influential trade bodies such as EVA, AVA, ANEDA, ABVM, IVMOA, VASA, JVMA, etc.
In 2020, VMF had a record number of 703 Exhibitors, more than double the year before. Some of the many that participated were Rhea Vendors (Italy), Silkron (Malaysia), CPI (US), TCN, JETINNO, Easy Touch, Kimma, Chipoo, Soyea, GREE, ProVending, Zhilai, Zebra, Yile, and so forth. The analysis showed that 89.12% of buyers were very satisfied with the show, and 61% of buyers spent at least two days visiting the show.

The following is an excerpt from the ICO market report of April 2021:
In April 2021, the ICO composite indicator rose by 1.4% to 122.03 US cents/lb as prices for all group indicators increased. Over the last six months, coffee prices have recorded a steady increase in monthly averages despite a few daily slumps. Relatively firm prices seem to encourage sales as world coffee exports amounted to 11.9 million 60-kg bags in March 2021, 2.4% higher than in March 2020. Shipments in the first half of coffee year 2020/21 increased by 3.5% to 65.4 million bags compared to 63.2 million bags recorded over the same period in coffee year 2019/20. However, cumulative exports from April 2020 to March 2021 are provisionally estimated at 129.5 million bags, a 1% decrease compared with the 130.8 million bags recorded from April 2019 to March 2020. World consumption for coffee year 2020/21 is projected at 166.3 million bags, an increase of 1.3% on its level of 164.2 million bags in coffee year 2019/20. The ICO has revised its production estimate for the current coffee year downwards, owing to Brazil’s smaller 2021/22 Arabica crop. Despite this, world consumption is forecast to remain at 2% below total production of 169.6 million bags in coffee year 2020/21.
