There is a tiny crowd gathered around a buyer’s facilitation desk for international buyers on the second day of the maiden Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show in Greater Noida.
With a few business partners by his side, Samuel Boateng, the owner of an IT product company in Ghana, is busy formulating his next course of action.
The 35-year-old said the occasion presents a chance to forge new business relationships, which is precisely the goal of the event’s organisers, the government of Uttar Pradesh and the India Exposition Mart in Greater Noida.
Boateng says, “We have retailers back home from whom we buy, but I’m looking for a big supplier,” adding that he got good deals at the show.
The trade expo, which ends on Sunday, not only assists companies with sourcing products but also highlights other locally produced goods, geographically-indication-tagged products, and the state’s one district, one product (ODOP) initiative.
The trade expo is hosting more than 2,000 exhibitors from industries like agriculture, defence, e-commerce, glass, marble, leather, handloom and handicrafts, and textiles across 13 large rooms.
