HONG KONG, April 20 /CHICAGOPRESSRELEASE.COM/ — Global Sources’ ( GSOL)

April 23.

The Fair offers international buyers more than 110 booths of India
suppliers displaying their latest handicrafts, kitchenware, glassware and
metalware, home decor, home textiles, jute and paper products.
Reflecting the increasing demand for products from India, the spring 2010
show has 10 percent more booths than Global Sources’ debut India Sourcing
Fair: Home Products held in Hong Kong in April 2009.
“The show’s expansion this year provides suppliers from India with greater
sales opportunity and exposure,” said Tommy Wong, President of Global Sources
Exhibitions. “Thousands of buyers are drawn to this Fair, as it is a
world-class exhibition for unique products from quality India suppliers — all
in the convenience of Hong Kong.
“India’s exports in February surged by 34.8 percent year-on-year to $16.1
billion. That follows growth of 11.5 percent in January this year and 9.3
percent last December. With demand for India’s exports around the world
rebounding, this is clearly the time for India suppliers to exhibit at the
Fair and meet face-to-face with buyers.”
India suppliers and export federation embrace opportunities Fair offers
Exhibitors are responding well to the Hong Kong show. Mohammed Adil
Shamsi, Managing Director of Giftmark Industries, said: “The India Sourcing
Fair is a great chance for us to secure more orders. That is a vital sales
channel for us to benefit from the rebound in global demand.”
The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) supports Global
Sources’ India Sourcing Fair. The FIEO is the apex body of all Indian
export-promotion organizations, and the Indian government’s partner in
promoting the country’s international business.
O. P. Garg, FIEO committee member, will address buyers at the show’s
“Made-in-India: A market snapshot” seminar. The seminar provides insight
valuable in helping buyers source more effectively from suppliers in India. It
is scheduled for April 20 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in room 201B of
AsiaWorld-Expo.
Made in India show set for June launch in Dubai
The Hong Kong event also sets the stage for the new Made in India — India
Sourcing Fair scheduled for June 8-10 in Dubai. This event is expected to be
the first-ever exhibition of quality Indian products in the United Arab
Emirates. India exporters have already booked 250 booths at the Dubai show.
Wong said: “We are taking Indian suppliers to the world’s top sourcing
centers, particularly Hong Kong and Dubai, to give them access to leading
international buyers. As the economic recovery strengthens, it is important
for Indian suppliers to reconnect with current buyers and seek new markets.”
