On April 12, a cold chain truck loaded with 26 tons of blood oranges departed from Rongchang District, Chongqing City, and will be transported through the new land-sea channel and exported to Singapore, thousands of miles away, via Qinzhou, Guangxi. The whole journey will take about 6 days.
Blood orange is a kind of "world fruit", which is grown in Mediterranean countries and the United States, as well as in Chongqing, Sichuan and other places in China.
In the 1990s, Chongqing Rongchang imported Tarocco blood oranges from Italy, and then began to plant them on a large scale.
According to fruit dealers in Singapore, blood oranges are very popular locally.
Previously, they mostly imported blood oranges from the United States and Egypt. Later, they began to import blood oranges from Chongqing, China through the introduction of industry insiders.
In terms of transportation, in the past, the export of blood oranges would go through many times of box changing and loading and unloading, resulting in damage to the goods.
The person in charge of the New Land-Sea Channel Operation Chongqing Co., Ltd. introduced that this time, the "one box to the end" high-sea combined transportation method is adopted. Under the condition that the original transit time remains unchanged, the goods only need to be loaded and unloaded one by one, which reduces losses and saves loading. cost.
