The 3rd China (Xiamen) International Sourcing Fair will be held at Xiamen International Exhibition Center, in southeast China’s Fujian province, from November 21 to 23.

With preparations in full swing since July, the fair is expected to have over 1,000 international standard booths and will attract more than 300 purchasing agents from over 30 countries. It’s estimated the purchasing lists are worth 10 billion yuan.

The fair aims to create inroads for small- and medium-sized enterprises and to help them overcome challenges by offering them more favorable policies.

Compared with previous sourcing fairs, the scale of this year’s fair is much larger. It consists of an orders exhibition, meeting sessions for companies before the exhibition, online trading partners, and exhibitions at the booths, purchasing fairs and workshops, all of which will benefit buyers and sellers to enhance the rate of deals.
