From June 28 to July 13, 2025, the 49th SABASABA International Trade Fair (Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair, DITF), Tanzania’s largest and most influential annual international trade event, was held in Dar es Salaam. As Tanzania’s largest national comprehensive exhibition, it ranks among the most vital trade expos across East Africa.

As an important Chinese-invested enterprise in Tanzania, Mainland Group participated in the expo as an exhibitor for the first time and set up dual booths within the China Pavilion and International Pavilion to fully showcase its locally built edible oil processing project as well as fruitful outcomes of China-Africa industrial cooperation.

Mainland Group’s Tanzania team carefully prepared the exhibition booth. The exquisite scale model of the Dodoma edible-oil plant and high-quality sunflower oil products immediately became the focus of the entire show. Ms. Chen Mingjian, Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania, Chinese and foreign participating leaders, and Tanzanian government officials paid special attention to the booth, sparking immense enthusiasm among on-site visitors.

This marked a crucial step for Mainland Group to deepen its presence locally, expand across regional markets and move toward international markets.
