About Canton Market
What is Canton Market? +
Canton Market (cantonmarket.org) is an independent online guide to Guangzhou’s wholesale markets and the Guangzhou International Commercial Port. We publish market directories, hands-on sourcing guides, month-by-month tracking of the Commercial Port megaproject, and free sourcing tools — built for overseas buyers, in English.
Why is it called "Canton Market"? +
‘Canton’ is the historic English name for Guangzhou, still widely used in international trade — as in the Canton Fair. Canton Market carries that trading tradition into the modern wholesale city: one place to learn the markets, cost your order, and follow the new Commercial Port.
Is Canton Market affiliated with the Canton Fair? +
No. Canton Market is a privately run, third-party platform with no affiliation to the Canton Fair organizers, the Guangzhou International Commercial Port Group, or any market operator.
