A Shanwei-themed event under the "Guangdong Goods Go Global" campaign took place at the China International Import Expo (CIIE) from November 5 to 6. Seventeen Shanwei-based companies showcased hundreds of products, ranging from jewelry and specialty agricultural goods to intelligent manufacturing equipment. The event aimed to strengthen Shanwei's industrial ties with the Yangtze River Delta and encourage companies in both regions to work together along their industrial and supply chains.
Intelligent manufacturing products on display included aerial and inspection drones, robot dogs, AI motherboards and remote-controlled bait boats. The bait boats are exported to more than 100 countries and regions, and the manufacturer's annual output value exceeds 20 million yuan. Other exhibits included consumer electronics such as calculators, electric toothbrushes and oral irrigators.
Local specialties and traditional delicacies attracted strong interest. On offer were Bomei shrimp cakes, Zhelang mazai (a traditional sweet pastry), lard candies, beef and fish balls, lychee vinegar, roasted salted duck eggs and ginger tea. Visitors sampled the products and asked about prices. Tea gift sets whose packaging drew on nine national-level intangible cultural heritage items struck many visitors as good souvenirs. Some buyers also asked about supplies for restaurants, while others discussed corporate group purchases and gift orders.
In the jewelry zone, businesses from Ketang Town and Meilong Town in Haifeng County displayed colored gemstones, crystal ornaments, gold and silver jewelry, custom-made inlaid pieces and accessories inspired by local culture. Buyers asked about materials, craftsmanship and delivery times, and several from Shanghai bought pieces on the spot.
Many buyers said they were impressed by the range and quality of the products and hoped to visit factories in Shanwei after the expo.
