A trade delegation from Yiwu, East China's Zhejiang province, of 122 enterprises, took part in the 131st China Import and Export Fair, or Canton Fair, which began online on April 15 and runs for 10 days.
The 10-day online fair, titled "Connection between Domestic and International Dual-Circulation", features a total of 16 categories of goods ranging from consumer goods to machinery from over 25,500 domestic and international enterprises.
It is the first time Zhejiang Zhuogu Clothing Co has attended the Canton Fair and sold goods via livestream.
Founded in 2009, Zhejiang Zhuogu Clothing Co specializes in seamless garment design, research and development, weaving and marketing.
During the Canton Fair, the company turned its main exhibition hall into a room for live broadcasts to introduce its latest products to global buyer. As many people are now working from home in light of the COVID-19 epidemic, the company has developed a series of training and yoga clothing for people to exercise at home.
Truelove Group, a carpet exporter based in Yiwu, started taking part in the annual Canton Fair in 1998. Thanks to the business promotion platform, more than 90 percent of blankets produced by the company are being exported to foreign countries, among which over 60 percent are sold to countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.
Yiwu Kemei Electric Appliance, Zhejiang Yongda Stainless Steel Products Co, and Yiwu Pengcheng Foreign Trade Co attended the matchmaking event for home appliance and machinery products made in Zhejiang province and talked to about 40 buyers from Germany, Finland, Indonesia, and Vietnam online.
