A number of international visitors and cultural ambassadors visited Guizhou Jihai's exhibition booth. French cultural blogger Antoine Lambert sampled the roselle juice and said, "It's truly amazing!" He described the drink as having a slightly wild sourness on the first sip, followed by a refreshing, naturally sweet aftertaste, calling it an "Oriental magic liquid" from the mountainous regions of Southwest China. He also showed a strong interest in the cultivation environment and nutritional profile of roselle and said he would recommend it to his followers on social media in France.

The blueberry juice series also attracted significant attention from professional buyers due to its clean, sweet-tart flavor and rich berry aroma. During the exhibition, company representatives introduced flexible minimum order quantities, Europe-specific packaging design support, and cross-border logistics solutions tailored to the European market for visitors and potential distributors.

An Italian food distributor, Martinez, expressed strong interest in the blueberry juice products and placed an on-site order for the full sample set. He plans to launch pilot sales in France and Southern European markets after the exhibition concludes.
