BEIJING, May 21 (Xinhua) — A train loaded with 1,610 tons of feed wheat flour arrived from Almaty to Wuhan, capital of central China’s Hubei Province, on Tuesday.
This batch of flour will be delivered to local feed factories. Let us recall that the special train delivered agricultural products from Central Asia to Hubei Province for the first time, writes the Changjiang Ribao newspaper /Yangtze Daily/.
To meet Hubei Province’s demand for feed raw materials, in recent years, regular China-Europe/Central Asia railway services have opened routes linking the province with cities in Kazakhstan, including Uralsk and Kokshetau.
Currently, textiles, electronic products, automobiles and other goods are shipped from Hubei to Central Asia. At the same time, a warehouse for goods from Kazakhstan’s Turkestan region has been established in Wuhan.
Two more freight trains carrying agricultural products are expected to leave Kazakhstan for Wuhan by the end of this month. The volume of such products imported from Central Asia to Hubei will exceed 500,000 tons per year.
According to statistics, Wuhan’s Wujiashan Station has handled a total of 293 China-Europe/Central Asia freight trains since the beginning of this year. -0-
