Guangzhou: officially recognised industries
This page lists every entry that names Guangzhou in two official Chinese lists. It helps you see which products the area is formally recognised for before you brief an agent.
SME industrial clusters (MIIT)
From the four annual lists of characteristic industrial clusters of small and medium-sized enterprises published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 2022 to 2025.

Only the first list (2022) was re-checked in 2025. Later lists have no re-check result yet. English place and industry names are our own translations. The Chinese name is the official text.

Foreign-trade bases (MOFCOM public notices)
From seven public notices on national foreign trade transformation and upgrading bases issued by the Ministry of Commerce between 2011 and 2023.
These are public-notice lists of different kinds — proposed recognitions and annual assessment results. The same base can appear on more than one list, so the rows are not a count of bases, and later changes were not checked.

What these lists do and do not tell you
- They show that a named area has been recognised for an industry by a ministry. They are not directories of factories or suppliers.
- Many factories and wholesale markets are outside any listed cluster or base. An absent product does not mean it is not made there.
- Recognition is not a statement about the quality or reliability of any single company.
