A truck carrying 26 tons of blood oranges left southwest China’s Chongqing Municipality on Tuesday for Qinzhou port on the country’s southern coast. From there, they will be shipped to Singapore. The whole journey via the land-sea transport service will take around six days.
The New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor is a trade and logistics passage jointly built by the provincial-level regions of western China and ASEAN countries. Chongqing Municipality is the center of operations for the corridor.
“Blood oranges have a good market in Southeast Asian countries,” said Qin Zhaohong, head of the Chongqing Zhaohong Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., the exporter of the oranges. Qin said the company had signed a cooperation agreement involving the export of 3,000 tons of blood oranges with the New Land-Sea Corridor Operation Chongqing Co., Ltd.
