The China Import and Export Fair (hereinafter the "Canton Fair") is an important platform for international trade cooperation, hailed as "China's No. 1 Exhibition" and the "barometer" and "weathervane" of China's foreign trade. The 138th Canton Fair is held in Guangzhou from October 15 to November 4, divided into three phases: "Advanced Manufacturing," "Quality Home," and "Better Life." The Anhui delegation actively organized 998 enterprises to exhibit, with a total of 2,129 booths — both figures reaching record highs.

A number of high-tech, green and low‑carbon quality products from our province made concentrated appearances, showcasing Anhui's foreign trade vitality and style. Among them, 87 companies exhibited for the first time, accounting for 8.7% of the total; about 650 exhibiting companies had their own brands; 531 high‑quality exhibiting companies — representing 53% of the total — held honors such as high‑tech enterprise, single‑product champion in manufacturing, "little giant" specialized and sophisticated enterprises, or green manufacturing enterprises, exceeding the national average by nearly 20 percentage points.

Relying on Anhui’s distinctive advantages, the provincial delegation helped iFlytek and the JAC (Jianghuai) Frontier Technology Collaborative Innovation Center secure special booths in the service-robotics zone, and worked to obtain a special booth in the newly established smart‑medical zone for Zhongke Radio Sensing AI Technology Co., Ltd. Through displays of embodied robots, robot dogs, remote medical monitoring devices and other products, the exhibits concentratedly reflected Anhui’s latest achievements in intelligent development and technological innovation as new quality productive forces. The delegation also recommended more than 100 companies to participate in the fair’s series of new-product launches and related events.

According to Canton Fair pre-registration data, 207,000 buyers from 217 export markets preregistered, an increase of 14.1% from the previous session; among them, more than 400 leading buyer companies are expected. A relevant official from the provincial Department of Commerce said they will conscientiously carry out exhibition organization and participation work to help enterprises fully use the Canton Fair platform to expand markets and increase orders.
