Textile suppliers in Guangzhou, the provincial capital of south China's Guangdong Province, have been seizing the opportunities of the ongoing Canton Fair, the world's largest trade fair, to expand international market and boost overseas orders.
Held in three phases in Guangzhou from April 15 to May 5, the 139th Canton Fair, formally the China Import and Export Fair, brings together global buyers to explore a vast range of products at China's largest trade exhibition. At Guangzhou International Textile City in Haizhu District, which gathers nearly 3,000 competitive domestic suppliers of garment fabrics and accessories, has recently rolled out one-on-one business matchmaking event to promote cooperation between local enterprises and more than 40 international buyers from countries and regions such as the United States and France.
"We are specialized in kids garment fabrics. Today, its a great opportunity, I think, you guys have organized this one-on-one business matchmaking. It's a good, nice concept. I have been to this market several times, but I didn't get this opportunity. So I'm really thankful to the organizing committee for having me here and giving us this opportunity," said Ashen Lankatiraka, a buyer from Sri Lanka.
In recent years, Guangzhou has fully utilized its locational advantages as the host city of the Canton Fair, regularly conducting precise supply and demand matching activities, widely inviting global buyers to visit local enterprises and delve into professional markets, promoting more effective foreign trade cooperation.
"We have met the procurement needs of clients in an efficient, precise, and one-on-one manner. Meanwhile, it also allows us to better promote the products of our merchants to overseas markets," said Xie Jun, chief economist of the Science, Industry, Commerce and Information Bureau of Haizhu District.
