Yiwu (Xinhua) – The three-day 2026 China-Africa Trade Commodity Exhibition is being held concurrently with the 2026 China Yiwu Stationery Fair (Autumn) at the Yiwu International Expo Center.
The exhibition is held in Hall E1 under the theme “China-Africa Partnership for Win-Win Trade and Economic Cooperation”. It covers an exhibition area of 10,000 square meters with 400 standard booths, and is divided into three sections: the African Country Pavilion (African national image exhibition area), the Import Zone (handicrafts, food, etc.), and the Export Zone (household and daily necessities, stationery and cultural creative products, arts and crafts gifts, beauty products, etc.).
This China-Africa Trade Commodity Exhibition features a diverse lineup of exhibitors, bringing together 186 companies from 15 countries. Among them, the Import Zone hosts 37 companies in 65 booths and includes African Country Pavilions showcasing the national images of Ethiopia, Rwanda, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and other African countries. Products from 14 African countries — including Zambia, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Mali, Mauritius, Togo, Nigeria, Benin, Sudan and others — are on display, featuring specialty items such as coffee, wine, tea, handicrafts, accessories, skincare products, and shea butter. The Export Zone hosts 149 companies in 335 booths, with dedicated zones for household and daily necessities, arts and crafts gifts, stationery and cultural creative products, and beauty products.
This China-Africa Trade Commodity Exhibition is closely aligned with consumer demand in the African market, focusing on essential product categories and highlighting small commodities that are best-selling, in high demand, and frequently repurchased in Africa. Rooted in Yiwu’s local foreign trade ecosystem and supported by a well-established system of warehousing, logistics, customs clearance, and cross-border settlement, it provides exhibitors with a full-process foreign trade channel — from product display and on-site order-taking to final shipment.
A matchmaking area for the 2026 China-Africa Trade Commodity Exhibition has been set up, with exhibitors pre-categorized by industry to help them connect with the right buyers. Buyers bring their orders and set up booths, while exhibitors arrive with samples and catalogs. This helps small and medium-sized foreign trade enterprises connect with African buyers and tap into Africa’s blue-ocean market, achieving efficient “precise products + precise buyers” matchmaking and promoting high-quality, regular China-Africa trade and economic development.
