                There is no 
                doubt that China will be the world¨s largest market and the 
                engine for economic growth, global influence and integration 
                in the new century. 
                  
                Businesses 
                world-wide are actively seeking ways and means to engage China 
                in trade, investment and co-operation. 
                  
                The China 
                market is like no other.  It is 
                
                nascent 
                but rapidly maturing, 
                growing, modernizing and changing.
 Business in China is 
                intertwined with politics, culture and a diversity of business practices. 
                Further, 
                opportunities vary greatly from region to region and from 
                industry sector to industry sector.
 
                  
                The potential 
                for agrifood business in China is vast and unlimited.  However, entering, successfully navigating and capturing opportunities on offer 
                in the Chinese business maze is not easy.

                For those who want to take a sprint down the business super 
                highway to China, the initial first 3 steps should be:
 
                
                
                The key to success in China is doing your home work, being committed but 
                cautious, equipping yourself with the China expertise and 
				partnerships, and not running before you can walk.

                   When 
							you are convinced of the opportunities in China and 
							decide to enter the Chinese market, it is essential 
							that you acquire the key business skills on how to 
							DO and MAKE business happen successfully in China. 
 The majority of the China business training programs 
							offered world-wide are conducted by providers with 
							materials produced from theory, books and third 
							party information, and/or who have little or no 
							practical experience and understanding of the 
							intricacies of the topics that they teach.
 
 Take up a good training program on how to do AND 
							make business happen successfully in China conducted 
							by experienced China agrifood business experts.
 
 The great majority of the foreign business ventures 
							and co-operations in China failed not because of  
							unsoundness of the opportunity or venture, but 
							because the average organization or businessman does 
							not have the knowledge, expertise and skills to 
							capture the opportunity and make business happen.
 
 Being able to DO business in China is quite 
							different from being able to MAKE business happen.
