It was reported on February 2 that the total import and export volume of Guiyang Foreign Trade Development Group Co., Ltd., located in Guiyang Comprehensive Bonded Zone, exceeded 300 million yuan in January this year. The overall performance in the first quarter is expected to increase significantly year-on-year, with special agricultural products, non-ferrous metals and other sectors performing particularly well.
As a leading state-owned foreign trade enterprise in Guiyang, Guiyang Foreign Trade Development Group relies on the functional policy advantages and logistics convenience of Guiyang Comprehensive Free Trade Zone to accelerate the release of supply chain efficiency.
Its business footprint has spread to more than 10 countries and regions around the world, including Brazil, South Africa, and Southeast Asia, and its product categories cover agricultural products, energy and chemicals, minerals, nonferrous metals, electronic products and other fields.
Since its settlement, the company has achieved a cumulative international trade volume of 3.444 billion yuan and established solid cooperative relationships with more than 10 banks and many leading local industrial enterprises.
The company has always regarded promoting Guizhou’s good products as its core goal.
In recent years, we have continued to deepen the strategy of “going overseas for your precious products”, focusing on distinctive advantageous industries such as sauce wine, tea, chili products, and prickly pear juice. Relying on the comprehensive advantages of the comprehensive bonded area, we have provided enterprises with full-chain integrated services from international certification, bonded warehousing, brand marketing to online operations.
Not only support companies to go global, but also help them take root overseas.
Currently, the company is accelerating the layout of overseas warehouses in Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Thailand and other places, building a two-tier network of “domestic bonded warehouses + overseas warehouses”, and actively opening “Guizhou Zone” on mainstream cross-border e-commerce platforms.
Among them, “precious products” such as prickly pear juice and chili products are very popular and are going overseas through the exclusive “Guizhou Pavilion” on Australia’s mainstream Chinese e-commerce platform “E-best”.
The company cooperates with the Guiyang Customs Technology Center to provide enterprises with “sea navigation” from Halal certification to US FDA regulatory consultation, accurately solving the pain point of “not being able to export”.
As the vice-president unit of the Guiyang Coffee Association, the company is also actively developing coffee bean import and bonded processing businesses in response to the industry call of “Guiyang to build a coffee city”.
In the first quarter of this year, the first batch of about 60 tons of Arabica coffee beans imported from Ethiopia will arrive in Hong Kong.
This move aims to reshape the supply chain and change the past situation where Guiyang coffee raw materials were mostly transited through Shanghai and Kunshan.
It is estimated that direct import can save downstream companies about 5 yuan per kilogram.
The company also plans to build a green coffee bean deep processing center and exhibition center in Guiyang Comprehensive Free Trade Zone, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter of this year.
In the first quarter of this year, Guiyang Comprehensive Free Trade Zone issued a series of favorable policies, which gave the company more confidence. It is expected that the annual import and export volume will reach 4 billion yuan.
The company will also focus on deepening cooperation with RCEP member countries and the markets of countries co-building the “One Belt, One Road”, guiding local enterprises to transform and upgrade from “processing and manufacturing” to “brands going overseas” and “services going overseas”, and continue to climb up the global value chain.
