The Open Days have been successful bringing key actors of the agrifood and beverage sectors together in China. The main goal of these events is to achieve the promotion of high-quality products from Spain, to increase the awareness of Spanish products in Guangdong province and to facilitate the relations between companies and distributors, thus providing business opportunities for them.

Shenzhen, located in Guangdong province, the largest consumer market in China, is a link between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and a transport hub for coastal southern China. Shenzhen is considered one of the biggest consumption markets for international agro-food products. In 2017, it was the 2nd most important port of entry for bottled wines in China, ranked the first port in terms of value and the third for wines, snacks, meat and dairy products in total. The city has an annual growth rate of 8.8%, higher than the national (6.6%) and provincial rate (8%).

The previous editions of the Open Days got together more than 400 professionals (importers, distributors, foodservice professionals, sommeliers and media specialists) and more than 100 final consumers. Other related activities like Spanish ham and cheese tasting took place.
