On May 20, the pick-up ceremony of the first special train for the transportation and trade of Central Asian agricultural products of Hubei Port Hanou International was held at Wuhan Central Station of China Railway Lianji. According to the needs of customer trade and transportation, Hubei Port Hanou International will directly supply Almaty's "golden grain source" to feed processing and other enterprises in Hubei Province with the comprehensive service model of "overseas procurement + block train transportation", injecting strong momentum into the Hubei agricultural product industry chain.

The train departed from Almaty, Kazakhstan, on May 12 and entered the country via Khorgos, loaded with 51 40-foot containers and about 1,610 tons of forage wheat flour. After the arrival of this train, two more special trains carrying the same cargo will depart from Kazakhstan this month.

In recent years, Hanou International has successively opened Central Asian grain return trains from Uralsk, Kokshetau and other cities in Kazakhstan to Hubei to fully meet the needs of Hubei market. The logistics center of Turkestan Oblast in Kazakhstan was established in Hanou International Logistics Park, which provides a solid logistics channel and warehousing guarantee for economic and trade cooperation between Hubei and Kazakhstan. While smoothing the logistics channel between Hubei and Central Asia, Hanou International actively implements the market development activities of Hubei Port Group's "300 Actions and Deepening the Circle and Extending the Chain Marketing", continuously innovates the operation model, builds the first special train for the transportation and trade of Central Asian agricultural products, and builds a full-chain channel of "procurement, transportation, trade, production and marketing", which will further improve the turnover efficiency of Central Asian agricultural products and reduce the comprehensive cost of import enterprises.

The shipment to Wuhan Customs optimized the supervision process, simplified the approval process, greatly shortened the customs clearance time of goods, improved the level of trade facilitation, and realized the first "rapid customs clearance" of international agricultural products special train in Central China. Wuhan Customs provides "green channel" support, Dongxihu Industrial Office coordinates logistics and industrial resources, and Hanou International coordinates the operation of trains, forming an efficient cooperation mechanism of "regulatory innovation + industrial linkage", laying the foundation for the subsequent normalized operation of Central Asian agricultural import trains, which will attract more transnational trade to be distributed in Hubei, and provide strong support for accelerating the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycles promoting each other.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
