Participants in the 29th International Plovdiv Spring Fair will include anti-crisis measures in their displays.

The Spring Fair focuses on consumer goods and technologies and will officially open on May 12.

Many of the 500 companies participating in the Fair will present their new products designed to help them deal with the worldwide recession.

The companies come from a total of 21 countries while Indonesia is the official country-partner of the Spring Fair.

The Fair's CEO, Ivan Sokolov, said Thursday that this is the first exhibit in Plovdiv during the times of the global crisis, something that would definitely affect the displays. Sokolov pointed out that consumer demand in Bulgaria has decreased by 32% while Bulgaria's exports are down by 27%.

20 innovations will be demonstrated during the Spring Fair, 9 of them international, 4 European, and 7 Bulgarian ones.

The Indonesian Ambassador to Bulgaria said that his country accepted to become partner of the Spring Fair due to Bulgaria's strategic location on the Balkans and in Southeastern Europe, making the country a gateway for Indonesian goods and products.

31 Indonesian companies will present furniture, jewelry, clothes, bags, shoes, leader goods and other products and services.
