Organizers of the sixth China International Import Expo, which will take place from Nov 5 to 10 in Shanghai, released the first batch of procurement plans of its buyers on March 1. 

The move is expected to facilitate the matchmaking between exhibitors and purchasers as well as help them find business opportunities and establish new partnerships.

According to the plans, the National Health Commission as well as trade missions from Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Shenzhen hope to purchase over 100 kinds of products from the expo. 

For example, the National Health Commission is looking to purchase optical equipment, medical imaging equipment, implantable medical consumables, checkout equipment, anesthetic and respiratory equipment, surgical instrument, and first-aid and sterilizing equipment from the medical equipment and healthcare products exhibition area. 

Trade missions from the above-mentioned regions are planning to procure advanced technologies from the intelligent industry and information technology exhibition area, as well as agricultural products, beverages, meat, and aquatic products from the food and agricultural products exhibition area. 

In addition, trade missions will also be eyeing daily chemicals, garment accessories, and home appliances at the consumer goods exhibition area, auto parts at the automobile exhibition area, nutritional food at the medical equipment and healthcare products exhibition area, and services at the trade in services exhibition area. 

The CIIE Bureau will continue to collate such procurement plans and publish them in the near future.
