Why Trade Missions Matter For Your Business: A Case For The Value Bridge
At ValueTag Global, The Trade Missions / Trade Tours features as one of the key service expressions under the International Trade and Business Advisory Services Division.
Trade tours are essentially trade fairs, but instead of affordable products, think high-impact deals.
Why China?
The relationship between China and Nigeria is accelerating, with bilateral trade reaching a staggering $15.483 billion in the first seven months of 2025 alone.
Nigeria is now China’s second-largest trading partner in Africa.
The Value Bridge is Value Tag Global’s commitment to positioning you as a “vital force” in this massive deal flow.
We move you beyond the risks of general sourcing and logistics by providing:
Strategic Timing
Immediate access to the 138th Canton Fair Phase 1 on its opening day.
Direct B2B Access
Bypass multiple middlemen and source directly from vetted "top players" in their respective industries.
De-Risked Logistics
End-to-end management of complex Chinese visa procurement, compliance, and ground travel.
The Strategic Advantage: Aligning with the Canton Fair
Success in China depends on timing. Our Trade Mission is strategically aligned with the Canton Fair which is China’s largest and most influential trade exhibition which holds twice a year:
- April 16th – May 4th
- October 15th – November 4th
This alignment ensures that participating businesses gain maximum exposure, access to global suppliers, and unmatched networking opportunities during peak trading seasons.
