BEIJING, May 22 (Xinhua) — Frozen food was shipped from Russia to China via the Tongjiang Port recently for the first time, marking progress in the development of the local cold chain logistics sector, the Yangguang news portal of China Media Corp. reported Wednesday.
A ton of Russian ice cream worth 100,000 yuan was transported through the border point and, after customs clearance, was placed in a 20,000 square meter cold chain bonded warehouse.
Tongjiang City in Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China borders the Jewish Autonomous Region of Russia. With the completion of the Tongjiang-Nizhneleninskoye railway bridge across the Heilongjiang River /Amur/ in 2022, Tongjiang has become a new railway checkpoint on the border between China and Russia. Water, road and rail traffic has now opened through it.
The project to build a frozen food warehouse in Tongjiang City was approved in July last year. Its commissioning will further expand the range of agricultural products imported from Russia and optimize the cross-border cold chain logistics system. -0-
