The Kaduna Nigeria International Trade Fair is one of the largest international trade exhibitions in Nigeria, gathering producers and manufacturers to showcase their latest products for sale and business promotion. 

The Kaduna International Trade Fair is regarded as the major annual event in the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce and Industry's calendar. 

The fair initially began as a biannual domestic event focusing on the agricultural sector in 1974. The event continued until 1979, when the fair became an internationally planned annual event. 

The first Kaduna International Trade Fair was held in February 1979 at Murtala Mohammed Square and featured 205 exhibitors. 

The event continued to develop significantly, providing an avenue for promoting all aspects of the economic sectors through international and national partnerships. 

It also fosters the development of industries and industrial inputs, creating a conducive environment for joint venture projects across all economic sectors between Nigeria and other nations. 

It is a unique event that occurs annually in Kaduna state because it plays a crucial role in the nation's overall economic, social, and industrial development. 

The fair attracts producers and manufacturers of goods and services from across the globe to exhibit their products, thereby promoting business. 

Kaduna Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (KADCCIMA) is currently seeking the support of trade groups and foreign investors ahead of the 2021 edition of the international trade fair in Kaduna. The fair also showcases all aspects of the economic sectors through cooperation between national and international sectors. 

The KADCCIMA president disclosed that there has been a large turnout both internationally and locally, indicating significant interest in participating in the fair.

He stated that over 70 international and local exhibitors are expected at this year's event. Some of the countries he mentioned, such as Pakistan, India, Cameroon, China, the Niger Republic, Egypt, Bangladesh, and Iran, have so far expressed interest in participating in the fair. 

He also said that the fair is expected to be declared open by President Muhammadu Buhari around February 2021, with the Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, as the chief host.

The president of the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Dr. Muheeba F. Dankaba, also disclosed that among the lined-up events to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the International Trade Fair is a quiz competition that will be held between senior secondary school students from the 19 northern states, and also a business roundtable.
