Central and Eastern Europe are exporting an increasing volume of agricultural products to China amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the first half of this year, agricultural trade between China and Central and Eastern Europe reached $730 million, representing year-on-year growth of 8.2 percent.

Although some agricultural cooperation and expositions had to be postponed or cancelled due to the pandemic, online trade cooperation continued to heat up, which strongly promoted the development of bilateral trade.
