So we need to truly understand that and make sure our marketing and our quality is at the highest level to satisfy the Chinese consumer. So we are here today to learn more about that, and how we can improve and satisfy their demand even more."

"We have different bars, we have green tea, and we also have some rice, and cookies. We have different kinds of products from Pakistan.
