Malawian companies to participate in Chinese Trade Fair
MEPC market development officer, George Midiani said over twenty Malawian companies has shown interest to take part in the fair although more applicants are coming.
“Since we entered into diplomatic ties last December Malawi has been offered trade opportunities for a wide range of products by Peoples Republic of China,” said Midiani.
The African Commodities Trade Fair is scheduled to take place in the Peoples Republic of China from 8-11 September this year.
Midiani said Malawian companies and individuals will have a chance to market their African products in China through participation in the fair.
He said the Chinese government has offered Malawian exporting companies that will take part in the fair, a free exhibition space as well as footing the bills incurred including participation costs.
“As MEPC we are still appealing to interested Malawian companies to submit their samples for assessment so that they also take part in the fair,” said Midiani.
