Greenland Holdings has unveiled an exhibition and trading platform to connect traders and exhibitors that are interested in the import goods displayed at the First China International Import Expo.

The Greenland Global Commodity Trading Hub, located in the Hongqiao World Center, which is to the south of the National Convention and Exhibition Center, is comprised of a 110,000-square-meter exhibition hall, hosting 112 companies and organizations from 41 countries. 

Greenland signed an agreement during the CIIE with 12 countries to purchase US$1.5 billion worth of import products, and it seeks to continue to work with suppliers, retailers and supply chains across the country to increase the effect of the CIIE. 

The products currently on display at the Greenland trading hub include a wide range of categories such as food, electronics, cosmetics, and automobiles, with trade organizations including the Hispanic-China Chamber of Commerce, the Belgian Beer Institute, and the Canada Beef International Institute.

Another 20 overseas trade organizations are expected to join the trading hub in the next three months.

Greenland has 50 physical retail outlets nationwide and hopes to double that number within three years. 

Trade visitors can make a reservation through the trading hub’s official website by providing their contact information and purchasing intent. 

“We hope to connect with upstream and downstream players and create new import channels by building a permanent trading platform," said Zhang Yuliang, Chairman and President of Greenland Group. 

Greenland will also host trade events in key cities including Tianjin, Xi’an, Wuhan, and Zhengzhou to connect sellers and buyers in the near future.  

Greenland hopes to keep magnifying the CIIE's effects and contribute to serving the national strategy of introducing more imported products that benefit consumers’ livelihoods, Zhang said.
