   CICGF, co-sponsored by Ministry of Commerce, PRC and Zhejiang Provincial People’s Government, is the largest and most professional consumer goods fair in China, which ranks only second to Canton Fair among all the exhibitions sponsored by Ministry of Commerce. It is held at Ningbo International Conference & Exhibition Center from June 8 to 12 every year.

    In the past six successful sessions, several thousand enterprises from more than 30 Chinese provinces and municipalities as well as from abroad exhibited, attracting thousands of buyers from all over the world.
