Hainan is not only a tourist resort with beautiful scenery but also an 
important "vegetable basket" and "fruit plate" in China, with tropical 
agricultural products enjoying a worldwide reputation. In December this year, 
Hainan will be the host of the China (Hainan) International Winter Trade Fair 
for Tropical Agricultural Products, an annual event in the agriculture 
industry. 

The Winter Fair has a splendid history of 21 years since it was held for the 
first time in 1998. The Winter Fair has become an important carrier linking up 
agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and it also serves as an important window 
for Hainan to carry out cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). 

The 21st Hainan Winter Fair in 2018, which brought together 138 enterprises and 
400 exhibits from 34 countries and regions, attracted over 6,000 domestic and 
overseas exhibitors and 530,000 on-site visitors, contributing to orders 
amounting to RMB 77.237 billion. 

The 22nd Winter Fair will be held in Haikou, Hainan from December 12 to 16, 
2019. This year, the Winter Fair will have 34 exhibition halls (areas) with a 
total area of about 80,000 square meters. In order to further promote the 
economic and trade cooperation with the countries along the Belt and Road, an 
exhibition area for the countries along the Belt and Road will be set up in the 
Guest Meeting Hall to showcase the high-quality agricultural products, 
agricultural fresh products and processed products in the BRI countries. 

According to 2019 Winter Fair Organizing Committee, the organizer of the Hainan 
Winter Fair, a series of activities such as "one-on-one" professional fair 
between buyers and dealers will be held during the Winter Fair to provide 
opportunities for international buyers and buyer groups involved in the BRI, as 
well as major supermarkets and wholesale purchasers in China, to enter into 
contracts and implement purchase orders. At the Winter Fair this year, the 
international exhibition group will mainly focus on international agricultural 
products and processed products, as well as high-end imported food and beverage 
and fresh products.
