BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR FLIGHT
Going to the Canton Fair Alone Is
How Importers Waste Their Trip.
You fly to Guangzhou. A round-trip ticket from Lagos or Accra costs $1,000 to $1,300. You book a hotel near the Pazhou Complex for $100 a night. After ten nights, transport, food, and a visa, you have spent $3,000 to $5,000 before you buy a single product.
Now you are inside the Canton Fair.
The venue covers 1.55 million square metres across more than 60 exhibition halls. There are over 32,000 exhibitors, and most of them only appear in one of the three five-day phases.
If you arrive during the wrong phase, the suppliers you need may have already packed up. They will not return until Spring 2027.
Even when you arrive during the right phase, you are walking into an exhibition centre the size of a small city.
No guide. No interpreter. No introduction to anyone.
You collect business cards from different booths, but some may quote you the visiting-buyer price instead of the real factory price.
Some suppliers may look like manufacturers, but they are actually trading companies adding another 15 to 30 percent to the price. Without local knowledge, it can be difficult to tell the difference.
After the fair, you return home with samples and supplier contacts. Then the shipping questions begin. Then the quality concerns begin. And sometimes, the supplier who was responsive during the fair stops replying.
NIGERIA SENDS MORE BUYERS TO THE CANTON FAIR
THAN ANY OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRY.
Out of 54 African nations, Nigeria ranks #1 for Canton Fair buyer attendance confirmed by the China Foreign Trade Centre.
In the last decade, over 204,000 African buyers have walked the halls in Guangzhou. Your competitors are already sourcing direct from Chinese factories.
05
204,000+
African buyers have attended the Canton Fair during the last ten years.
06
#1 in Africa
Nigeria sends more buyers to the Canton Fair than any other African country.
The Canton Fair opens twice a year. Miss it, and
you wait.
The 140th Canton Fair runs from October 15 to November 4, 2026, across three separate phases. Each phase features different product categories, so your travel dates must match the suppliers you want to meet.
Most factories exhibit in only one 5-day phase. Arrive on the wrong dates and the right suppliers will not be there leaving you to wait until Spring 2027.
That is why planning early matters. We make sure you choose the right phase, the right dates, and the right strategy before booking your trip.

The Answers People Ask
On Call #1.
01
What exactly is the Canton Fair?
The Canton Fair is the world’s largest and oldest trade fair. It has been held in Guangzhou since 1957. The last session brought together more than 32,000 factories, 4.65 million products, and 314,000 buyers from 220 countries. It is where businesses from around the world buy directly from China twice a year.
02
When is it, and which phase is mine?
The 140th Canton Fair runs from October 15 to November 4, 2026. Phase 1 runs from October 15 to 19 and covers electronics, machinery, building materials, vehicles, and solar. Phase 2 runs from October 23 to 27 and covers furniture, home products, décor, and sanitary ware. Phase 3 runs from October 31 to November 4 and covers textiles, clothing, shoes, food, and cosmetics. We match your trip and travel dates to the products you want to source.
03
Is this a scam? How do I know you are real?
We are a registered company with a real office and team in China. We have supported more than 100 client registrations. Our company documents, trip photos, and testimonials are available on this page. You pay 50% to begin and the remaining 50% after the agreed process milestone has been completed. Our registration number is [INSERT REGISTRATION NUMBER] .
04
Can I go to the Canton Fair myself?
You can. However, first time travellers often struggle with visa documents, incorrect travel dates, language barriers, and navigating a fair the size of a small city. Going during the wrong phase can also mean your target suppliers are not there. We help remove these problems before and during your trip.
05
What happens if my visa is not approved?
We prepare your invitation letter and guide your full application using the same process behind our 100 plus registrations. We cannot control or guarantee a government decision, but we make sure your application is clean, complete, and consistent. These are the areas where many solo applications fail.
06
What if I do not speak Chinese?
You receive Mandarin interpretation support during your trip. Your interpreter helps you communicate with suppliers, visit factories, understand important details, and speak with smaller factory booths where some of the strongest prices may be available.
07
Will suppliers ship my goods after I return home?
We help introduce you to verified suppliers and provide shipping and logistics support after the fair. This includes guidance on supplier coordination, freight, cargo planning, consolidation, and the steps required to move your products from China.
08
I have never travelled abroad before. Will I be alone?
Many of our clients are first time international travellers. Airport pickup, hotel accommodation, daily transport, program guidance, and group support are arranged for you. You travel as part of a guided group and receive support from our China based team throughout the program.
