Chinese and Nepalese business people have signed agreements worth USD 28 million at a trade fair that ended Monday in the Tibet Autonomous Region, up 76 percent from 2009.
Â
The 16 agreements signed at the 14th China's Tibet-Nepal Economic and Trade Fair involve textiles, mechanical and electrical products, and agricultural and animal products, the regional commerce department said.
Â
Nepalese business people mainly import wool, cashmere, handicrafts and farm produce from Tibet, the department said.
Â
Rabindra Kumwar, a Nepalese businessman, said it was his first time to attend the fair.
Â
"I want to know more about the Chinese market through the fair," Kumwar said. "When I am back to Nepal, I will trade bronze and wooden sculptures that Chinese consumers are fond of."
Â
The trade fair, which started Thursday in Xigaze City, has been organized alternately in China and Nepal every two years.Â
