Approaching the Spring Festival, the Pingxiang Friendship Pass Port in Guangxi, located on the border of China and Vietnam, is full of traffic, and heavy trucks from China and Vietnam have cleared customs in an orderly manner; In the major local freight yards, fruits from ASEAN will be sent to all parts of the country to help "foodies" achieve "fruit freedom"; In the border industrial park, a number of landed processing enterprises are in full swing and are busy producing ......This is a vivid microcosm of the "two-way rush" of economic and trade cooperation between Guangxi and Vietnam. From the "periphery" of the border areas in the past to the hot spots of development today, the border areas between China and Vietnam are showing great vitality.
In the Guangxi Pingxiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone, trucks full of goods enter and leave the park, where imported fruits such as durian and dragon fruit from Southeast Asia are inspected by customs and enter the Chinese market. Through the large screen of the intelligent command and dispatch platform of the bonded zone declaration center, the staff can monitor the customs clearance data and the entry and exit of vehicles in real time.

Originally, a truck may need to stay in the bonded area for 2 to 3 hours after customs clearance. After the port has been upgraded and transformed by informatization and intelligence, a truck can be successfully cleared in just ten minutes without triggering customs inspection. Li Sidong, deputy director of the operation department of Guangxi Pingxiang Comprehensive Bonded Zone Development and Investment Zone, said that fruits have high requirements for logistics and transportation, warehousing and customs clearance, and the port customs clearance process has been continuously optimized to ensure the rapid customs clearance of fruits in the import season.
In order to further expand the customs clearance capacity of the Friendship Pass Port, the construction of the China-Vietnam cross-border smart port (Friendship Pass-Friendship Pass, Puzhai-Xinqing) project started in September last year, providing stable expectations for the efficient customs clearance of agricultural products, electronic products and other goods. At the same time, it will also promote the 24-hour intelligent customs clearance at this border port to ensure the 24-hour arrival of inbound and outbound goods from Guangxi-Hanoi and the Northern Economic Zone of Vietnam.
Huang Guangjing, deputy director of the Pingxiang Municipal Bureau of Foreign Affairs and Commercial Port, said that in 2023, the import and export goods and inbound and outbound vehicles at the Friendship Pass Port will maintain rapid growth, and the total number of inbound and outbound vehicles will reach 42330,000 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 11235%；The import and export freight volume reached 42670,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 562%。
The opening up of the Dongzhong Port, the expansion and opening of the Friendship Pass and the Longbang Port have passed the national acceptance with high standards, and the opening and operation of the China-Vietnam Longbang-Chaling International Port has ......The overall customs clearance capacity of Guangxi's ports has been continuously improved, which has effectively promoted the quality and efficiency of foreign trade and provided strong support for deepening economic and trade cooperation with ASEAN.
As one of the most mainland fruit import and export ports in China, the Friendship Pass Port is "fragrant with melons and fruits" all year round. Based on the unique advantages of border ports, Pingxiang has also become the main distribution center of China-ASEAN fruits, attracting many merchants to engage in cross-border fruits.
Zhejiang merchant Lou Jiaoyue has been engaged in cross-border fruits for more than 30 years, mainly importing durian, mango, jackfruit and other Southeast Asian fruits, and also exporting Chinese department store goods to Thailand and other places. "We import hundreds of containers of these three fruits every year, and at peak times we have more than a dozen containers a day. Durian comes from Thailand and Vietnam, and imported mangoes are also exported to Russia. Lou Jiaoyue said.
At the China-ASEAN (Chongzuo) Fruit Trading Center, truckloads of Vietnamese dragon fruit entering the country through the port are connected and unloaded here. "Approaching the Spring Festival, there is a large demand for fruits in China, and about 100 containers of fruits enter and exit the yard every day recently. Tan Weiping, manager of the market operation department of Pingxiang International Development Group, said that since it was put into use in January last year to January 22 this year, the China-ASEAN (Chongzuo) fruit trading center has been completed in total70,000 trains, with a transaction volume of 2.3 billion yuan.
The prosperity of cross-border ** has also given birth to a series of new business formats such as cross-border logistics and cross-border e-commerce. In the hall of Yunduoduo cross-border logistics base, the operation status of each import and export business of Yunduoduo cross-border ** chain integrated service platform is displayed on the big screen.
We provide enterprises with one-stop import and export services in logistics, customs, finance, science and technology, etc., and have now built a procurement and logistics service network covering major cities in China and many ASEAN and RCEP member countries such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, etc. Wang Zhengbo, president of Guangxi Yunduoduo Technology, said.
The rise of "cross-border e-commerce + live broadcast" on the Sino-Vietnamese border provides a new path for enterprises to "go to sea" for domestic products. In the Pingxiang cross-border e-commerce live broadcast base, rows of shelves are filled with goods from all over the country, and more than 20 small language anchors who mainly speak Vietnamese are here to promote domestic products to the Southeast Asian market.
Chinese clothing, makeup, and small household appliances are popular in the Vietnamese market. Since its launch in March last year, the company's average daily online order volume has exceeded 1,000, and only one brand can sell tens of thousands of orders on the first day. Guangxi Lia e-commerce general manager Shu Chunyuan said that after Vietnamese netizens place orders, they can be delivered to overseas warehouses in northern Vietnam as soon as 1 day.
The continuous enrichment of the industrial forms along the border has promoted the transformation and upgrading of the China-Vietnam border areas from the "channel economy" to the "port economy". At the same time, with the acceleration of the construction of a series of key open platforms, the economic and trade cooperation between China and Vietnam and other ASEAN countries has also been promoted.
Located in Pingxiang Industrial Park, Guangxi Zhongguo Industry Co., Ltd. uses the advantages of raw materials in Southeast Asia to engage in quick-frozen fruit pulp, fruit and vegetable freeze-drying processing and other businesses, and has been put into operation since November last year, with an output value of 10 million yuan. The reporter of this newspaper recently saw in the company's production workshop that the company has built 5 production lines, and after the fruit has been fully automated cleaning, disinfection, pulp and other processes, bottles of fresh juice are quickly bottled, labeled, and frozen, and will be sent to the Yangtze River Delta and other regions.
Wang Shujuan, chairman of the company, said that the fruit can be quickly processed here after entering the country from the port, which can ensure the taste of the product while saving a lot of production costs. The value of the orders received by the company has reached 1500 million yuan, and also reached cooperation intentions with a number of well-known food and beverage companies and tea brands.
According to the data of the Department of Commerce of the Autonomous Region, in 2023, Guangxi will continue to implement the action of "100 enterprises entering the border", actively build a leading area for the high-quality development of landing processing in the mutual market, and continuously improve the scale and development quality of landing processing, with an annual import and export volume of 1247400 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 276%。
