Enterprises from the Chenggong district have shone at the eighth China-South Asia Expo in Kunming.
The expo, which ran from July 23 until July 28, attracted over 2,000 exhibitors to the capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province.
This year's expo featured a pavilion for the coffee industry, which highlighted Yunnan's reputation as China's leading coffee producer, and among the participants attracting the most attention was Chalatte Coffee. The brand set up four live broadcast rooms at the expo, offering unique coffee varieties for attendees to sample.
"Our products were very well-received during the expo. We achieved average daily sales of over 200,000 yuan ($27,532) on Douyin and over 10,000 yuan ($1,337) offline, which is quite impressive," said Zhu Zhanghai, brand manager at Yunnan Chalatte Brand Management.
