The forum also included the inaugural ceremony of the ASEAN Flavor and Fragrance Trading Platform, the inaugural ceremony of the Flavor and Fragrance Industry Research Institute, the launch ceremony for the filming of the documentary "Scent of China," the signing ceremony of standardization agreements between the Flavor and Fragrance Branch and the China Inspection and Quarantine Group and the China Maritime Commercial Exchange, the signing ceremony of halal food standardization agreements between the Flavor and Fragrance Branch and the Brunei Guangxi Chamber of Commerce, the release ceremony of the "Flavor and Fragrance Industry Development Guide," the release ceremony of several flavor and fragrance standards, and the announcement of the "Initiative to Promote the High-Quality Development of Flavors and Fragrances in China."

The forum noted that flavors and fragrances have been a major commodity in international trade since ancient times and a crucial vehicle for the exchange of human civilizations. They offer a wide variety of products and a wide range of applications. As the province with the most distinctive natural flavors and fragrances industry in the country, Guangxi will take this forum as an opportunity to further promote technological innovation in the flavors and fragrances industry, push industrial development to the forefront, and strive to realize the "tens of millions of acres of area and tens of billions of yuan in output value" of flavors and fragrances as soon as possible.
