According to the Going-out Strategy of Yiwu government on Yiwu Fair,the Dubai Exhibition of 2009 China Yiwu International Commodities Fair will be held in Dubai. This exhibition is co-hosted by Global Sources and Yiwu China Commodity City Exhibition Co.,Ltd,with the aim to expand the overseas influences of Yiwu and Yiwu Fair. The introduction meeting was held in Yiwu Kingdom Hotel recently,and about 100 representatives of local enterprises communicated with the co-hosts.
It is learned that the Gifts & Home Products Exhibition in Dubai will open at the same time when Yiwu Fair has its show in that country. With “Purchasing China-made Products in Yiwu” as the theme,this debut will intensively display Yiwu enterprises and their products. This show will cover an exhibition area of 3,600 square meters with 200 international standard booths,and the 3 specialties are home products,arts and crafts,and fashionable ornaments. It is a good opportunity for local suppliers to dig into the markets in the Middle East and neighboring regions.
From 2006,China Commodity City Group started guiding enterprises to go into the international markets. Yiwu China Commodity City Exhibition Co.,Ltd,attached to the Group,has organized over 120 companies to participate in 21 global exhibitions in 13 countries and regions like Asia,North America,the Middle East,and Europe in the past two years. These actions have positively improved Yiwu’s fame.
Due to the global financial crisis,the decreasing consumption desire and capacity in the US and Europe causes many local businesses to expand the new markets. In this case,the traditional way of waiting for customers has to give way to initiative. This exhibition in Dubai is a mark of Yiwu from passivity to initiative. According to the Group in the introduction meeting,they will set up special funds to help enterprises exhibit in foreign markets and to lighten the pressure of exhibitors.
Global Sources,one of the co-hosts of this exhibition,is an international trade service organization listed in the US,with many multinational businesses and a bulky buyers’database,like 14 industry portal websites,16 trade media and 6 major serial exhibitions. Huang Tanwei,the Exhibition Department general manager of the Global Sources,said that among the $ 30 billion of imports of Dubai each year,75% of them are transshipped to Europe. For Yiwu dealers and enterprises,to attend the Dubai Exhibition of 2009 Yiwu Fair is a chance to open the Middle East markets and seize business opportunities.
