The 138th Canton Fair opened in Guangzhou and will run in three phases from Oct 15 to Nov 4.

As a key platform of China's foreign trade, the Canton Fair provides Shaoxing companies an opportunity to connect with existing clients and new buyers, showcase new products, and secure orders.

A record number of Shaoxing companies participated this year, with 650 local enterprises presenting nearly 10,000 featured products at a total of 1,039 booths — 20 more booths than the 137th Canton Fair.

In the first phase, 102 Shaoxing enterprises exhibited products in home appliances, auto parts, and lighting, demonstrating the strong competitiveness of Shaoxing smart manufacturing.

The third phase, beginning Oct 31, marks a key opportunity for Shaoxing companies to focus their efforts and pursue breakthroughs in foreign trade. During this period, Shaoxing will secure 704 booths, with 142 arranged in three exhibition areas highlighting textile raw materials, and sports and leisure products.

To enhance its presence at the Canton Fair, Shaoxing's commerce authorities will help local enterprises join key programs including product launches and an innovation design competition, highlighting the city's innovative manufacturing and trade vitality.
