Preparations for the 140th China Import and Export Fair, commonly known as the Canton Fair, are progressing smoothly.
The trade event is scheduled to be held in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province from October 15 to November 4.
The fair will have an exhibition area of 1.55 million square meters and feature 75,700 booths in 54 specialized zones. It will be staged in three distinct phases, each focusing on different product categories themed on "advanced manufacturing", "quality home life" and "better life."
"Preparations for the fair are going smoothly and booth applications for the export exhibition have been completed. Service robots, smart healthcare solutions, consumer drones, wearable devices, and prefabricated housing, and other cutting-edge products representing new quality productive forces will make their debut," said Ding Shuang, deputy head of the Canton Fair's business office.
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.
