Pingxiang, China, February 25th. (Wei Zengle, Meng Jiayu, Chen vinegar) On February 25, China's first inbound fruit train was 24502 times from Vietnam to Pingxiang, Guangxi. The opening of the train will make it easier for ASEAN countries to enter the Chinese market.
The six refrigerated containers and 156 tons of dragon fruit carried by this train were quickly transferred to Beijing, Zhengzhou, Chongqing, Xi'an and other places after being inspected and quarantined by the General Administration of Customs at the Pingxiang Port Logistics Center of the State Railway.

It is reported that after the National Railway Pingxiang Port Logistics Center has implemented the inbound fruit direct trains, it is expected that two to three inbound fruit trains will be shipped every week. The types of fruits will be expanded to longan, litchi, and other tropical tropical fruits in Southeast Asia. Imported throughout the year The amount of fruit will reach 60,000 tons.
Guangxi Pingxiang Port is China's largest land fruit import and export port. Known as the "China-ASEAN Fruit Capital", it is the peak season for fruit imports and exports all year round. Currently, the fruits imported through Pingxiang Port account for nearly half of China's total imported fruits, and the imported tropical fruits in Southeast Asia account for nearly three-quarters of the total imported tropical fruits in Southeast Asia. In recent years, with the rapid growth of fruit trade, the problem of insufficient customs clearance capacity at Pingxiang Port has become increasingly prominent. In order to better serve the "Belt and Road" construction, China Railway Nanning Bureau Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Nanning Bureau Group Company") upgraded the existing Pingxiang Railway Port to build a country with a designated supervision site for entry fruits.

On February 24, the designated supervision site for Pingxiang (railway) port inbound fruits located in the National Railway Pingxiang Port Logistics Center has just passed the inspection and acceptance of the General Administration of Customs of China, and can officially handle the inbound fruit direct transportation business. At this point, the logistics center integrates customs, border inspection, and rail freight functions, which can realize one-stop handling of import and export business. Transit container cargo does not need to be changed or reloaded, which greatly shortens the overall logistics time and provides international transport of fruits for ASEAN countries by rail. Entering China's domestic market has opened up new channels to further close fruit trade cooperation between China and ASEAN countries.
The National Railway Pingxiang Port Logistics Center covers an area of about 225 acres, including the port entry service area, supervision operation area, quarantine processing area, and front interception operation (security access) area. Since the construction was approved on August 6, 2019, Nanning Bureau Group Corporation has strengthened organization and coordination, coordinated the resources of all parties, and advanced the project construction in a scientific and orderly manner. On February 12, 2020, it successfully organized a pilot train for entering the country. (Finish)
