Yiwu (Zhejiang): The World’s Top Hub for Small Commodities Procurement
For foreign trade buyers looking for a one-stop destination for small commodities, Yiwu in Zhejiang Province is the ultimate choice. Known as the “World Capital of Small Commodities”, Yiwu’s International Trade City (ITC) is the largest small commodities market globally—supplying over 60% of the world’s daily-use small items to 230+ countries and regions. Whether you need toys, home decor, jewelry, or stationery, Yiwu offers unbeatable variety, low costs, and easy procurement.
First, Yiwu’s product range is incredibly wide. The ITC covers 5.5 million square meters and is divided into 5 zones, each focusing on different commodities. Zone 1 is for toys and stationery—you’ll find everything from plastic building blocks for kids to eco-friendly notebooks. Zone 2 specializes in jewelry and accessories, with trendy necklaces, earrings, and hair clips at factory prices. Home decor lovers can head to Zone 3, which has candles, photo frames, and storage boxes. Even niche items like festival decorations (Christmas lights, Halloween masks) or small electronic gadgets (phone chargers, portable speakers) are easy to find here. With over 200,000 types of commodities, Yiwu lets buyers source all their needs in one place.
Second, Yiwu offers great price advantages. Most products here come directly from local factories or nearby suppliers, cutting out middlemen. For example, a basic plastic toy that might cost

Procuring in Yiwu is also simple and convenient. The ITC has clear signs in English, and many shop owners speak basic English—some even have translation apps to help with communication. Many local procurement agents can assist: they help find suppliers, check product quality, negotiate prices, and handle paperwork. Shipping is easy too—Yiwu has a dedicated international logistics center. Goods can be sent by sea (to major ports like Shanghai or Ningbo), air (to global airports), or even by train via the Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe freight line, which reaches Europe in 15-20 days.
For new buyers, visiting the Yiwu International Small Commodities Fair (held every October) is a great way to start. The fair brings together 2,500+ suppliers and 10,000+ buyers from around the world, letting you see products in person and build business relationships.
In short, Yiwu’s huge variety, low prices, and easy procurement process make it the best hub for small commodities. It’s not just a market—it’s a place where your business can save time, money, and effort.
