If you’re an importer looking for new product or an exporter looking for new buyers, the place to be is an international trade fair.
Some trade fairs are massive and they cover hundreds of different products. Some are more specific and boutique, only showing off certain commodities. Here’s a list of just a few:
- The Canton Fair – last week we posted on our blog about this fair. The Canton Fair is one of the largest Fairs, with the largest scale. Located in Guangzhou, China, this fair is so huge it’s broken into three different phases and shows off a variety of products from lighting equipment to toys and medicines. Opening dates are April/May.
