Since April 15, the 135th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) has been in full swing in Guangzhou. It is reported that at this year's Canton Fair, a delegation of 15 enterprises from Zigong brought new products and technologies to display in Guangzhou, vying for orders, seeking business opportunities, and expanding markets.

Reportedly, the 135th Canton Fair marks its largest spring edition to date, with an exhibition area of 1.55 million square meters. This year's event features around 28,600 companies participating in the export section, including more than 4,300 first-timers. In addition, 680 companies will participate in the import section. In a significant move, the fair has introduced new trade formats, by setting up a cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot area and overseas warehouse display area for the first time, covering an area of 3,000 square meters. The online platform is dedicated to promoting the 165 comprehensive pilot areas for cross-border e-commerce.

"The booths at the Canton Fair serve as bridges for businesses to access the global market and are also windows for Zigong's opening-up engagement." A leading official from the Zigong Municipal Bureau of Commerce explained that, over the years, Zigong has actively participated in the Canton Fair and achieved remarkable results. Since the outset of preparations for this Canton Fair edition, Zigong's various departments at all levels have taken the initiative to provide the needed services and assistance, actively organizing and guiding the booth application process. Simultaneously, the city has meticulously organized enterprises to participate in pre-fair meetings for the Canton Fair, promptly conveying regulations and key points related to exhibition setup, intellectual property rights, and other pertinent matters. On the opening day, Zigong's delegation, composed of local businesses and commerce departments at multiple levels, actively participated in various events. Products branded "Made in Zigong" and "Taste of Zigong" garnered favorable attention at the fair. The leading official expressed anticipation for Zigong-based businesses to leverage the Canton Fair's global stage to more effectively tap into markets, secure premium customers and orders, and ensure the stability and quality enhancement of Zigong's foreign trade.
