| ANNUAL
AGRICULTURAL TRADE FAIR |
 |
 |
 |
| 2006 Hainan
Agricultural Trade Fair (1-3 December 2006) opening ceremony;
the exhibition is held annually |
To the Chinese,
the world alike, red symbolize good luck, prosperity and good
omen; this flower is called Fire Bird (火鸟) |
This
annual event drew variety of visitors: tourists, producers,
suppliers, ordinary local folks and others |
 |
 |
 |
| Hainan
is an ideal place to produce tropical agricultural products
due to its geographical location. With the help of modern agro
technology and methodology the quality should be able to match
international standard; this Fair is a good platform and an
opportunity for the local producers to build up their
marketing network and to expose their produces to the outside
world at large. Photo: dragon fruit plants (left), jack fruits
