Recently, among the new list of "National Key Leading Enterprises in Agricultural Industrialization" announced by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, 9 member enterprises of the Guangxi Agricultural Industry Chamber of Commerce were listed. This honor, jointly recognized by eight ministries and commissions including the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the National Development and Reform Commission, is considered the "gold standard" for agricultural enterprises, representing authoritative recognition at the national level.

The growth trajectory of these 9 "leading" enterprises bears the distinct imprint of the CAEXPO. They have showcased advanced technologies and distinctive products at the CAEXPO exhibition halls, identifying market demand through connections with ASEAN merchants; they have also transformed mature management experience into tangible projects through exchange activities organized by CAEXPO. Today, they are both "pioneers" in the ASEAN market and "guides" for small and medium-sized enterprises within the Guangxi Agricultural Industry Chamber of Commerce, converting their overseas experience into replicable "strategies" to promote regional agricultural modernization development and cross-regional collaboration.

In recent years, with the assistance of the CAEXPO platform, the Guangxi Agricultural Industry Chamber of Commerce has intensively visited consulates general of ASEAN countries in Nanning.It has now established stable cooperation mechanisms with relevant ministries, chambers of commerce, associations, and international organizations in 8 ASEAN countries including Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos.This has enabled member enterprises to upgrade from fragmented "product exports" to systematic "industry going global," forming a synergistic effect where "1+1>2". With the empowerment of CAEXPO, the confidence of private enterprises in going global has become firmer, and the reach of cooperation has continuously extended. Leveraging this momentum, the Guangxi Agricultural Industry Chamber of Commerce has launched a series of exchange activities to "matchmake" for enterprises.

On July 5, 2024, a special "agricultural matchmaking event" was particularly lively. On that day, the China (Guangxi) - ASEAN Green Economy Exchange Activity, hosted by the Guangxi Agricultural Industry Chamber of Commerce, invited representatives from the Consulates General of Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Vietnam in Nanning to conduct on-site inspections of Guangxi's green agriculture and environmental protection industry development. They engaged in in-depth exchanges with enterprises on key issues such as market access policies and logistics and customs clearance details, providing answers and solutions for enterprises intending to explore the ASEAN market. Concurrently, the Guangxi Advanced Agricultural Products and Technologies Exhibition was held, featuring 12 Guangxi agricultural and food enterprises. This event served as a "golden key" for private enterprises "going global" and is also one of the concrete measures extending the CAEXPO platform effect from its 5-day duration to the entire year.

From precisely targeted exchange meetings one after another to cooperative projects taking root one by one, CAEXPO is expanding Guangxi agriculture's "circle of friends." This "golden bridge" connecting China and ASEAN is enabling Guangxi's private agricultural enterprises to shift from "going it alone" to "pooling resources for long-term voyages," accelerating their pace in regional cooperation. The practice of the Guangxi Agricultural Industry Chamber of Commerce proves that when the vitality of the private economy meets the boost of an open platform, it can yield substantial mutually beneficial outcomes amid the waves of regional cooperation.
