Buyers, exhibitors preview Canton fair
Dignitaries gathered in New York for a conference to promote the China Import and Export Fair (also known as the Canton Fair), the 112th session of which will take place in October in Guangzhou. The Canton Fair itself draws 200,000 buyers from around the world. "It's a one-stop shop - you don't have to travel to all of the countries to meet these buyers," Matthews said. Dubbed "China's No 1 Fair", the state-sponsored exhibition began in 1957.
Outcomes:
The most recent fair, in May, drew some 210,800 foreign buyers from 213 countries and regions with annual business revenue of up to $360.3 billion. The upcoming fair will run from Oct 15 through Nov 4 on Pazhou Island in southeastern Guangzhou.
