DALIAN, June 22 (Xinhua) — A batch of 38 tons of fresh plums was loaded onto trucks at a production site of Longxin Fruit Co., Ltd. in Yingkou, northeast China’s Liaoning Province, and shipped to Kazakhstan. The cargo will travel by land via Tacheng Port in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. This is Yingkou’s first batch of plums exported to Kazakhstan.
Yingkou, with its distinct four seasons and abundant sunshine, has excellent conditions for growing plums and other specialty fruits. “Plums have good shelf life and transportability, which greatly reduces the cost of exporting by land. This year, we plan to enter the Central Asian markets, but initially we had little knowledge of the quarantine standards and market access requirements in the countries involved,” said Han Yingchun, CEO of Longxin.
According to Han Yingchun, after learning of the company’s difficulties, customs and other departments immediately organized regular training and consultations, helping the company and fruit growers improve the management of the fruit growing process to ensure that the export products meet the necessary requirements.
In order to promote the export of local special fruits including plum, Dalian Customs has continuously maintained the smooth operation of the “green channel” for inspection of export fruits at the place of origin, providing preferential measures. At the same time, the customs monitors the harvesting schedules of orchards and packing schedules of factories in real time, ensuring the principle of “application-inspection-export permit” for export fruits, achieving “zero waiting time” in customs clearance.
According to statistics, from January to May this year, Bayuquan District Customs, administratively subordinate to Dalian Customs, carried out origin inspection of 2,994.89 tons of special fruits exported to Central Asian countries, with a total value of 24.7341 million yuan (about 3.4 million US dollars). -0-
