Areté, an Italian consulting firm has been contracted by DG AGRI of the European Commission to complete a study on EU agri-food exports via e-commerce to China. The ultimate aim of this study is to help boost EU agri-food exports through e-commerce to China. 

We are now in the main phase of the study and are kindly requesting your assistance in the data collection process. In particular, two separate surveys have been launched with the aim of collecting the experiences and perspective of both business operators and promotion agencies / chambers of commerce:

1. A survey of chambers of commerce, trade promotion agencies and competent authorities, available at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EcommerceCNchambersagencies.

2. A survey of EU agri-food operators and sector organisations, available at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EcommerceCNbusiness The survey is available in multiple languages and is relevant to both to sectors/operators which export to China via e-commerce and those which do not. Replies to the survey will be used for the purpose of this study only and will not be made available to the public, except in an aggregated form that will ensure anonymity.

Replies are expected by May 4. Thank you in advance for your contribution to the study.
