The 2026 China-Africa Trade Fair will be held at the Yiwu International Expo Center from November 6 to 8, creating a market-oriented and regularized platform for China-Africa trade cooperation without the need to travel abroad, according to the event organizer.
Yiwu is China's largest distribution hub for Africa-bound small commodities, gathering a massive base of African resident buyers, cross-border trading companies and international logistics firms, with a mature, low-cost and efficient Africa trade chain. The fair will direct-invite wholesalers, retailers, agents and leading cross-border procurement teams from West, South and East African countries for precise "exhibits-plus-buyers" matching.
The export zone covers daily necessities, hardware, electronics, cultural office supplies, gifts, toys, textiles, mechanical and electrical products, and photovoltaic storage, while the import zone showcases African agricultural products, minerals, handicrafts, coffee and cultural-creative goods. A concurrent 2026 China Yiwu Cultural Articles Autumn Fair and the China-Africa Economic, Trade and Culture Forum further amplify the sourcing and branding effect.
