中国城市消费的转型升级：拉丁美洲农业部门的机遇

Tatiana Gélvez Rubio / Manuela Barrera Cubides / Cindy Rozo Romero

Although there is a substantial body of literature on Sino-Latin American relations, very little is known about Sino-Colombian ties. This alone justifies our interest in promoting knowledge regarding this specific process. As such, the Venezuelan Association for Chinese Studies (AVECH) 委内瑞拉中国研究会. is pleased to present a new volume from Colección Estudios of the Biblioteca AVECH 委内瑞拉中国研究会图书馆 entitled: Transformaciones del consumidor urbano en China: Oportunidades para el sector agrícola en América Latina [Transformations of the Urban Consumer in China: Opportunities for the Agricultural Sector in Latin America] 中国城市消费的转型升级：拉丁美洲农业部门的机遇authored by Tatiana Gélvez Rubio, Manuela Barrera Cubides, and Cindy Rozo Romero. Across four sections, the researchers examine urban growth and food consumption habits in China, its trade relations with Latin America and the Caribbean, Sino-Colombian relations—with special emphasis on commercial exchanges—and, finally, analyze the potential of Latin America and Colombia in the Chinese market.

China will remain a key market for global consumption, and understanding its cultural and economic dynamics is essential for success. Therefore, we are witnessing an extraordinary effort of intellectual practice by Colombian female scholars that, in addition to being well written, reflects a meticulous methodological handling of sources. This gives this work tremendous value, in both form and substance, for understanding a subject that cannot be foreign to us in these times.
