Hui'an Stone Carvings are to appear on the European market this September. As reported from Hui'an county office that the local government is organizing the local stone enterprises to develop the European market and the first delegate will start at the end of May. This is the first step taken by Hui'an stone industry who has taken Japan and the south-east Asia as the main markets for long to explore new business for their stone products.
It is reported that most of the stone carving enterprises of Hui'an are mainly located in the town of Chongwu .The local stone association in Chongwu has more than 100 member enterprises. Their export amount reached 3 billion yuan last year. Since the European continent has a population of more than 20 million ,the market for the tombstone and the fence is big . However,Hui'an stone industry has great advantage on these products considering the quality and the price when comparing with India who is the main supplier of the stone products to Europe now.
The purpose of this trip is to find out the difference between the local products and those on the European market and try to bridge the gap to meet the European demand.The delegate will take Italian International Stone Fair as a chance to compete on the international stone market.
