These products were abundant at this HGH India edition. We as the organizers were quite happy to learn that more than 90% of the exhibitors had achieved outstanding commercial outcomes. Trade buyers also thought that there has been a significant improvement in the design and quality of Indian items, as seen by several exhibitors’ displays.
