(CIIE)CHINA-CIIE-PERU-ALPACA-FUR TOYS-CRAFTSMAN(CN)

(231107) -- SHANGHAI, Nov. 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Peruvian craftsman Mamani takes photos at the Bund in east China's Shanghai, Nov. 2, 2023. At the first China International Import Expo (CIIE), Ma Yuxia, a Chinese businesswoman, introduced the plush toy alpacas made by Mamani, a Peruvian craftsman, into the Chinese market.

Ma and her partners rented a booth of merely 9 square meters at the first CIIE to display and promote these toys and other traditional handicrafts from Peru. They also established their own brand, known as Warmpaca (meaning "warm alpaca"). The business was unexpectedly successful.

On the other side of the Pacific, Mamani has involved craftsmen from his village in the business. This year, Mamani and his wife Gloria have been visiting Shanghai on the occasion of the 6th CIIE. (Xinhua/Fang Zhe)
