Introduction functioning auction on seminar in Shanghai

On 1 and 2 July 2017, Aucxis was invited by the Chinese Association of Auctioneers (CAA) and the Advanced Produce Centre Development (APC) to introduce the functioning of a Western European fruit and vegetable auction. This seminar on the fruit and vegetable industry took place at APC. On the second day, demonstrations were given by APC and the auction room and Moby Clock were shown in detail.

Some sixty interested persons from various provinces in China attended with great interest the two‑day session. As the auction system was welcomed with such an interest, there is an enormous opportunity for Aucxis in China. For this reason, Aucxis closely follows the developments in China.

China is the world’s largest fruit and vegetable consumer and producer. In 2016, total consumption was 851,110,000 tonnes.
