Beijing, April 29 /Xinhua/ — In the first quarter of 2026, through the Manzhouli Autonomous Region of Inner Mongolia /Northern China/, located on the border of the PRC and the Russian Federation, 95 thousand tons of fruits and vegetables were exported from China for a total amount of 710 million yuan /about 104 million USD/, which turned out to be 3.8 percent and 0.4 percent more, respectively, compared to the same period last year, according to a statement published on Tuesday on the official website of the Manzhouli city government.
According to data from the Manzhouli customs, among the exported fruits and vegetables were pomegranates from Yunnan province, tomatoes from Shandong province, apples from Shanxi province, grapes from Liaoning province, and citrus fruits from Hubei province. In particular, the share of premium-segment fruits increased, which stimulated the growth of fruit and vegetable exports in value terms through the above-mentioned border crossing point.
Relying on the advantages of its location and logistics hub, the border city of Manzhouli is becoming one of the main collective distribution centers for the export of fruits and vegetables from China. Shipments of fruits and vegetables supplied from various regions of China are quickly gathered here, and then they are sent from here to the countries participating in the “Belt and Road” initiative using logistics with a cold chain.
The local customs office, taking into account the short shelf life of fruits and vegetables, has opened a green channel for the export of perishable goods and implemented a mechanism of preliminary registration for customs clearance, as well as intensified efforts to increase the efficiency of customs control through measures such as “cloud issuance” of inspection and quarantine certificates, and intellectual verification and document stamping using self-service equipment.
The trading company “Czinshenbo” from Inner Mongolia, China, has been engaged in the export of fruits and vegetables for several years. “Measures adopted by the customs service, such as advance declaration and preliminary registration for customs clearance, have significantly reduced losses of fruit and vegetable products and accelerated its turnover,” the company reported, adding that in the first quarter of the current year, their export of vegetables amounted to about 1,000 tons, increasing by almost 40% compared to the same period last year.
