E-belt E-road network - on-site promotion of China Import and Export Commodity Fair

The China import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair, was founded in the spring of 1957 and is held in Guangzhou every spring and autumn. The Canton Fair is jointly hosted by the Ministry of Commerce and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, and hosted by the China Foreign Trade Center. It is currently the longest and largest comprehensive international trade event in China, with the most complete range of goods, the largest and widest source of buyers, the best transaction results, and the best reputation. It is known as China's first exhibition and a barometer and vane of China's foreign trade. The Canton Fair is a window, epitome, and symbol of China's opening up to the outside world, and an important platform for international trade cooperation. Since its establishment, the Canton Fair has gone through ups and downs without interruption, and has successfully held 132 sessions. It has established trade relations with 229 countries and regions around the world, with a total export transaction of about 1.5 trillion US dollars and a total of about 10 million overseas buyers attending the fair and online exhibitions, effectively promoting trade exchanges and friendly exchanges between China and countries around the world.
It is reported that there are more domestic customers attending this year's Canton Fair, while the number of foreign merchants attending has decreased compared to before the epidemic. The customers are mainly old customers with a strong willingness to negotiate, especially in emerging markets such as the Middle East, Africa, and South America, wher the average frequency of inquiries and inquiries from merchants has increased by more than 10%. However, customers from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea are not as good as before the epidemic. In addition, most enterprises generally predict that the autumn Canton Fair period will be the "outbreak period" for transaction signing, and a large number of old customers who have not attended the meeting will decide to purchase at the 134th autumn Canton Fair. There are two reasons: firstly, when the procurement invitation is issued at this conference, the domestic epidemic has not yet stabilized, and enterprises have concerns; Secondly, the direct flights between Europe and America in China have not yet returned to the pre pandemic period, resulting in inconvenient transportation. From the transaction negotiation situation, the company reported that the main customers are from Africa and the Middle East, with fewer customers from Europe and America. Customers pay more attention to price than quality requirements, and price competition among domestic peers is more intense. Most companies tend to win by quantity.

During the exhibition, a new round of exhibition promotion work is underway to enhance the influence of the E-belt E-road network, ensure that customers accurately seek membership enterprises, and provide comprehensive and multi-level services to member enterprises. Our colleagues were dispatched to the exhibition site to promote the E-belt E-road website (www.chinaebr. com). We had in-depth communication with company leaders every time we went, understood the business situation and demands of foreign trade enterprises, distributed pens, promotional materials, and introduced the product categories of the E-belt E-road network to relevant participating enterprises, and recommended enterprises to settle in. Invite them to actively register and use the website.
