Innovative cooking utensil products are among the most attractive items for international and domestic buyers at the second phase of the ongoing 137th China Import and Export Fair, commonly known as the Canton Fair, focusing on "quality home life."
This second phase of the fair has dedicated sections for building and decorative materials, home decorations, and gifts, catering to the diverse demands of global buyers in search of high-quality, exquisite products.
Over 167,000 products are on exhibition during this second phase of five days, making it the most extensive collection among the fair's three phases.
"We hope to prioritize the safety of the materials used in every part of the pot, including internal and external coatings. To achieve this, we have made a series of innovations in materials and manufacturing," said Chen Guanhao, an exhibitor.
The number of offline exhibitors in this second phase of the fair reached 10,313, an increase of 273 compared to the previous phase. Many Chinese companies are leveraging the strengths of their products to explore new markets both domestically and internationally.
"We plan to develop more practical cooking utensils better suited for domestic customers. We are confident that our future focus will remain on the domestic market," said Xu Haoming, an exhibitor.
"Based on the feedback from overseas customers who visited our booth this year, they were highly impressed with Chinese products. They have strong confidence, a keen interest in trading with China, and long-term trade prospects. This is what gives our foreign trade enterprises renewed confidence," said Chen Zili, an exhibitor.
The 137th Canton Fair is divided into three phases: the first, running from April 15-19, focuses on advanced manufacturing; the second, from April 23-27, on quality home furnishings; and the third, from May 1-5, on products that promote a better quality of life.
The fair covers an area of 1.55 million square meters, with about 74,000 booths. They include nearly 73,000 for exports and about 1,600 for imports.
Established in 1957, the Canton Fair is held twice a year in Guangzhou. It is the longest-running of several comprehensive international trade events in China and has been hailed as the barometer of China's foreign trade.
