Starlight Machinery Is Exhibiting at the 9th China-Eurasia Expo 2026
Starlight Machinery will be at the 9th China-Eurasia Expo, held from 25 to 29 June 2026 at the Xinjiang International Convention and Exhibition Center in Urumqi, China. Find us at Hall 10, Booth K30.
The China-Eurasia Expo is one of the most strategically significant trade events connecting Chinese manufacturers with buyers, investors, and distributors across Central Asia and the Eurasian region. For rice mill operators and agricultural processing businesses in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and neighbouring markets, the Urumqi expo is the natural meeting point — accessible, regionally focused, and attended by the decision-makers who are actively evaluating machinery suppliers and planning processing investments.
This year, Starlight is bringing its latest rice milling machines to the exhibition floor and making its engineering team available for direct project discussions across all five days of the expo. If you have been evaluating rice milling machinery suppliers, planning a production line installation, or researching equipment options for your paddy supply and target market, this is the opportunity to have that conversation in person.
What the China-Eurasia Expo Means for Central Asian Rice Processing
Urumqi sits at the geographic centre of the Eurasian landmass — closer to Almaty, Tashkent, and Bishkek than to Beijing. As a trade event venue, it brings Chinese manufacturing capability and Central Asian buyer demand into the same room more efficiently than almost any other venue in the region.
For Central Asia's rice processing sector, this proximity matters. Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan are all significant producers and consumers of short-grain Japonica rice — a variety that requires a specific milling configuration different from the long-grain Indica processing common in Southeast Asia and Africa. Buyers in these markets need machinery suppliers who understand Japonica's whitening pressure requirements, its polishing characteristics, and the operating environment conditions— such as voltage stability, seasonal temperature variation, and infrastructure constraints—that characterise milling installations across the region.
Starlight has supplied and commissioned complete rice milling production lines for buyers in Central Asia, including the 30 TPD Japonica production line for a Central Asian investor that was ordered, manufactured, Factory Acceptance Tested, and dispatched in 14 days. The engineering team attending the expo has direct experience with the region's grain profile, power supply conditions, and installation requirements.
What You Can Do at Booth Hall 10, K30
Inspect the latest rice milling machines in person. The booth will display Starlight's current rice milling equipment — allowing buyers to assess build quality, mechanical construction, and component specification directly rather than from a catalogue or video call. For buyers who have not yet visited Starlight's Danyang factory, the expo provides the first physical reference point for evaluating the machines.
Discuss complete 30 TPD+ production line configurations. Our engineering team at the booth can walk you through the complete production line configuration process—from paddy intake and pre-cleaning through husking, paddy-brown separation, whitening, polishing, and grading—tailored to your specific throughput target, Japonica or Indica grain profile, and facility layout. For buyers planning a new commercial milling installation or expanding an existing operation, this is the technical starting point for a confirmed project.
Review customised solutions for your paddy variety and market. Central Asia's Japonica varieties — grown in the irrigated regions of Uzbekistan's Fergana Valley, Kazakhstan's Kyzylorda Oblast, and similar agricultural zones — have specific milling characteristics that influence the configuration during the whitening and polishing stages. Starlight's team can review how a line would be configured for your specific paddy origin, moisture profile, and output quality target.
Ask the technical questions directly. Factory visits and video calls are useful, but they are not the same as a face-to-face conversation with the engineers who design and build the machines. The expo is the opportunity to ask the questions that are harder to resolve remotely — installation timeline, commissioning process, electrical specification for your site, spare parts logistics for your market — and to get direct answers from the team that will handle your order.
Why Urumqi — The Strategic Logic of the China-Eurasia Expo
The China-Eurasia Expo has been held in Urumqi since its inaugural edition because the city occupies a unique geographic and commercial position. As the capital of Xinjiang Autonomous Region, Urumqi is the primary gateway between China's manufacturing base and the Central Asian markets accessible through the road, rail, and air connections that define the Silk Road Economic Belt.
For rice milling machinery buyers from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, attending an expo in Urumqi is significantly more logistically straightforward than travelling to a trade show in Shanghai, Beijing, or Guangzhou. Direct flights and overland connections make Urumqi the most accessible point of contact with Chinese manufacturing in the region, which is precisely why the China-Eurasia Expo consistently draws serious buyers and project developers rather than casual visitors.
For Starlight, exhibiting at this expo is a direct expression of the company's regional focus: Central Asia is an active and growing market for commercial rice milling investment, and the buyers planning those investments are in Urumqi in late June.
Who Should Come to the Booth
Rice mill operators in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan are evaluating equipment suppliers for a planned capacity upgrade or new installation — whether a combined mill at 15–30 TPD or a complete custom production line above 30 TPD.
Agricultural investors and project developers who have secured paddy supply or processing contracts and are now at the stage of specifying the milling equipment that will fulfil them.
Distributors and trading companies serving the agricultural machinery market across Central Asia are evaluating Starlight as a manufacturing partner for their client base.
Government and cooperative buyers are involved in agricultural development programmes that include rice processing infrastructure, as well as development-funded projects where a documented, ISO 9001-certified manufacturer is a procurement requirement.
Buyers who attended a previous China-Eurasia Expo and want to follow up on equipment discussions from prior years, or who have been in communication with Starlight remotely, and want to meet the team before confirming an order.
If you have been comparing rice milling machinery suppliers and have not yet visited Starlight's factory in Danyang — this is your first opportunity to meet the team in person. The expo booth visit is not a sales presentation. It is a technical conversation with the engineers who will configure, build, and support your equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rice milling equipment will Starlight display at the China-Eurasia Expo 2026?
Starlight will be displaying its current rice milling machines at Hall 10, K30 — including combined rice mills suitable for operations at 15–30 TPD and representative components from its complete production line range. The engineering team at the booth can discuss the full product range, including the 6LM-15 Integrated Rice Mill, ZNJ-25 Combined Rice Mill, 30-Unit Combination Rice Mill, and Custom Production Lines from 30–200 TPD, and can provide configuration proposals for buyers whose requirements span the complete range.
Can I arrange a specific meeting with Starlight's engineering team at the expo?
Yes. Pre-arranged meetings are encouraged for buyers with specific project requirements — a confirmed meeting time ensures the right technical team members are at the booth and that relevant documentation is prepared for your project. Contact Starlight before 25 June via email at admin@starlightmachinery.com or WhatsApp at +44 7907 988913 to schedule a time. Walk-in visits are also welcome throughout the five-day expo without prior arrangement.
How does the China-Eurasia Expo compare to a factory visit to Starlight's Danyang facility?
The expo provides a face-to-face meeting with Starlight's engineering team, hands-on access to display equipment, and the ability to ask technical questions directly — which is more than a remote video call but less than a full factory visit. At the Danyang factory, buyers can observe machines at various stages of production, inspect the manufacturing process, and — for production line orders — observe a Factory Acceptance Test with live paddy running through the configured line. For buyers who want to confirm a production line order, the recommended approach is to use the expo meeting to advance the technical discussion, then schedule a factory visit to Danyang to observe the FAT before finalising the order. Starlight structures factory visit agendas around the buyer's specific technical requirements. See Customer Stories for accounts from Central Asian buyers who visited the factory before confirming production line orders.
Is this the first time Starlight has exhibited at the China-Eurasia Expo?
[Note: Confirm whether Starlight has exhibited at previous editions of the China-Eurasia Expo and update this answer accordingly. If this is a first-time appearance, frame it as: "The 2026 expo marks Starlight's first exhibition at the China-Eurasia Expo — reflecting the company's growing focus on Central Asian markets and the increasing volume of production line enquiries from buyers in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan."]
