The Hebei commodity fair opened Wednesday in the New Yan Sha Shopping Mall, Beijing, to promote Hebei products in the Beijing market.
As one section of the 2010 Commodity Fairs held in Beijing from March to September, Hebei’s ten-day show followed Jilin province, in northeast China, which ended its fair on Sunday.
The 60 booths showcased more than 300 types of products from 80 enterprises of Hebei province, falling into seven categories: agriculture products, handicrafts, health-care products, clothing, food, liquor and kitchenware.
“The commodity fairs were held jointly by the Beijing Business Commission and the provincial Commerce Department, and the products selected are of high quality,” said Lu Yanqiang, an official with the Hebei Commerce Department.
“It helps a lot to expand the popularity of the products and the fair has already gained some influence in Beijing,” he added.
Seventeen provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have taken part in these grand fairs.
