Canton Fair Helps Boost Economic Growth for Less-developed
Regions

includes a strong social responsibility component. To assist
less-developed regions in spreading economic opportunity to their
populations, the Fair helped them introduce some of their signature
products to global buyers. 668 companies that cover 15 product
categories have benefited from free access and service fee
reductions, with 179 of them, from 22 trade delegations, joining
the Traditional Chinese Specialty section to promote their
products, such as food, men's and women's clothing, and medical and
healthcare products.
Xu Bing, Deputy Director General

exhibition area has boosted economic development in these areas.
"Exhibitors have met customers through the Canton Fair, gaining
knowledge and understanding of markets so that they can develop
competitive products to further explore target international
markets."
