China Fish 2013

Back to New China International Exhibition Center for 3 years, China Fish 2013 hailed by exhibitors and visitors as a success. Mr. Li Jiang, president of China Fish, commented: “At the beginning, I was worried about the figure of the visitors because of the economic depression. And I am assured when getting the final number, although the figure of the European visitors decreased 18.6%, while the customers form Korea and other countries increased by 19.1%, so the total number of the visitors keeps the same level as that of last year.

But since another hall was added this year, the proportion of the exhibitors to the buyers lost balance, the exhibitors in new Hall E3 complained a lot to us. So we decide in the next following 3 years, we will keep the 2 halls for the exhibitor’s interests. ”

Exhibitor

For China Fish 2013, 505 Chinese exhibitors and 40 international exhibitors make attendance at the show, and the exhibiting area expanded to 33,000 sqm. Mr. Li said: “Actually, I do want to expand the exhibiting area, because each year the number of the buyers does not increase a lot. Especially recent years, the economic situation is really bad. But there were too many exhibitors on the waiting list, so I have to add another half hall for them. ”

The number of the international exhibitors is 40 from Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Italy, U.S.A, Japan, Vietnam, U.K, Russia, France, Poland, Turkey, Thailand, Australia, Germany, among which 10 companies participated in the show for the first time. For instance, Kizakura co., Ltd from Japan, Worth Company from USA, Robinson Europe S.A from Poland, Griffon from Russia, American Tackle Company from America, ITALCANNA from Italy, STOPPIONIS.N.C-STONFO from Italy, Smart Choice from Taiwan, Hana Fishing Tackle Co from Korea and Lures Factory Co., LTD from Thailand. Those overseas exhibitors give very positive feedback about the show.

I think the show keep our expectation very well, even though there are less people compared with the biggest years. I think it also due to the recession, not the fault of the China Fish itself.

China Fish 2014

China Fish 2014 is fixed on February 10-12, 2014, still taking place at the New China International Exhibition Center. On the last day of China Fish 2013, all booths of China Fish 2014 have already been booked, and there are still some companies on the waiting list. Mr. Li Jiang said: “for the exhibitors’ interests, we decide not to add another hall, two halls only. But, since the two halls can not hold all companies that have already submitted the booking request, China Fish team will negotiate with those big companies who request for big booth to lessen their exhibiting space. Therefore, more exhibitors can get in. ”
