Canton Fair serves as key link for traders

Event seen as creating opportunities to connect India with global suppliers

The China Import and Export Fair, popularly known as Canton Fair, can serve as a trade bridge between China and India, according to Indian businesspeople and traders.

Offering an excellent opportunity to connect with global traders and suppliers, secure new clients and contacts, and explore business opportunities, Indian participants and trade representatives believe the Canton Fair is both a major platform to showcase their products and a major avenue for getting better market access to global platforms.

Every year hundreds of Indian businesspeople, companies, traders and entrepreneurs participate in the trade show, which is held in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. This year, around 50 Indian businesspeople and companies are taking part in the first full-fledged Canton Fair following the pandemic disruption.
