Piret Rink, who attended last year's event, said: "China definitely has a major influence on the world's trade market. We conducted in-depth discussions with several well-known companies and successfully identified ideal partners during last year's event with the result that our procurement efforts exceeded US$20 million. Cost control and improvement of product quality are vital for a firm's strategic development. Last year's R&W helped us to buy quality products at low prices.
