Mr. Mai Hoang Long, Deputy General Director of Ratraco, said that in order to quickly meet the consumption needs of Chinese partners, this is the first shipment of coconuts exported to Guangzhou by rail at Song Than station. This shipment includes 3 containers weighing 67.5 tons (value of goods about 220,000 yuan) and is expected to be transported to Guangzhou in 7 days. Mr. Phan Quoc Anh, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Railways Corporation, said that in the current trend of international integration, the corporation is promoting international import and export activities by rail from provinces and cities. With 10 free trade agreements in effect, opportunities are expanding for Vietnamese export goods to the international market. In particular, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is expected to be one of the factors promoting exports, creating a stable export market for Vietnam.
Delegates cut the ribbon to inaugurate the train.
Regarding coconut products, Vietnam has over 200,000 hectares, products that meet the organic standards of the US and Europe are our country's strengths... Transporting coconuts by rail to Guangzhou (China) is a new mode of transportation, with the advantages of stable transportation time, quick customs procedures for export and import to China, and lower logistics costs than by road. At the same time, it minimizes congestion and road congestion at the Vietnam - China border gate, thereby helping to ensure the quality of agricultural products exported to Chinese consumers. In the coming time, the Corporation will continue to promote international transportation activities at Song Than station and look forward to the support and contribution of local departments and branches.
