The fifth China International Import Expo, which will take place from Nov 5 to 10 in Shanghai, released the second batch of procurement plans of purchasers on April 26.

The move is expected to facilitate the matchmaking between exhibitors and purchasers as well as help them find fresh business opportunities and establish new partnerships. It will also enhance the expo's role as an international procurement platform.

The newly-released procurement plans are mainly from central State-owned enterprises such as the National Health Commission, and trade missions from Liaoning, Hubei, Yunnan and Ningxia. These organizations are expecting to purchase 140 types of products.

For example, the central State-owned enterprises need auto parts including engines and bearings, as well as metal processing equipment, horticultural machinery, and integrated circuit chips.

Trade missions from the four provincial-level regions will be eyeing industrial robots, excavators, dairy products, agricultural products and consumer goods such as jewelry, sportswear, and skincare products.
