Thailand transports fruit to China via China-Laos railway for the first time in less than 5 days

Recently, according to Thai media reports, the durians and coconuts exported by Thai agricultural product exporters to China were shipped to China for the first time through the China-Laos Railway. If the transportation process goes smoothly, the train will arrive in China within 5 days.

There are three containers of agricultural products in this freight train, durians in two carriages and coconuts in one carriage. The total weight of durians is 40 tons and the total weight of coconuts is 20 tons. The train departed from Matap Station in Rayong Province, Thailand, and passed through Nong Khai Station in Thailand and Thanaleng Station in Laos before arriving in China.

The relevant staff of Thailand Nongkhai Customs said that this is the first time that Thailand Kao Charoen Railway Transportation Company used the China-Laos Railway to transport agricultural products from Thailand to China. The goods arrived at the Boding checkpoint in Laos before unloading and transshipment. It has not yet been completed, and all parties are actively promoting it to build it as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the transportation of goods.

Songji, the project manager of the railway transportation company, said that due to the severe new crown pneumonia epidemic, there are still some problems in Thailand's fruit exports to China, but fortunately, the company is fortunate to receive preferential treatment and assistance from all relevant institutions, so that the train can depart smoothly. If all the processes for this shipment to China are smooth and the relevant steps are completed, the fruit season in early May will help farmers export fruit to China easily and quickly.

It is understood that Kao Charoen Railway Transportation Company has partners in Laos, and related companies established in Laos also cooperate with Chinese companies, all of which are large state-owned enterprises in China. After all parties have cooperated and coordinated, if everything goes well, it will take 4 to 5 days to start from Rayong Province in the eastern part of Thailand to Kunming, China. Compared to before, this is currently the fastest shipping route.

Lao traders: I hope that the China-Laos Railway will open trains for exporting agricultural products such as corn and watermelons to China as soon as possible!

At present, goods from eight provinces in northern Laos have to be sent to China through the Boding port in Luang Namtha. Railway transportation can make Lao products delivered to China faster and more conveniently. It departs from Vientiane Station in Laos that night, and the next morning. You can reach Kunming, Yunnan, China. Now, 400-600 vehicles of agricultural products are shipped to China every day.

In an interview with CRI on March 11, the head of LS Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd., which is mainly responsible for the transportation of goods, pointed out that at present, there are only 3 categories of Lao products that can be transported by rail: iron ore, cassava flour, dried cassava, and most Agricultural products are still transported by car. In addition to these three types of products that can be transported by railway, I hope that corn, watermelon, etc. can also be transported by railway, which is fast and time-saving, because these agricultural products are relatively perishable, and these products must pass the new coronavirus testing procedures of China and Laos. Make sure the product is healthy and safe.
