For traders, all roads lead to Chengdu
The sixth Chengdu International Urban Modern Agricultural Expo, the best of its kind in western China, takes place from April 25 to 28. Chengdu is growing rapidly under China’s “Belt and Road” initiative, establishing economic and trade relations with 228 countries and regions.
The city has 16 foreign consular missions and 281 Fortune 500 enterprises, and is steadily becoming the first choice for industries, capital and talent in mid-west China.
Compared with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other firsttier cities, Chengdu boasts greater radiating power and potential, as well as lower marketing costs by means of exhibitions and fairs.
In the past five years, a large number of agricultural organisations, business associations and enterprise representatives from a dozen countries and regions have been attracted to each exposition for transactions and exchanges.
This year’s expo will occupy 55,000 square metres and host 1,500 exhibitors. An estimated 50,000 professional purchasers will be invited, including wholesalers, agents, distributors, chambers of commerce, supermarkets, hotels, industrial parks, government agencies, farmers running large plantations and breeding sites, scientific research institutions, universities and colleges and military outfits.
As a professional operation, the Chengdu expo provides a variety of exhibition services, including project cooperation promotion, product purchase resource matching, points of contact with agricultural parks and factories about visitations, consultation opportunities regarding governmental policies, points of contact with industry and business associations, and individual interviews and key media reports.
