The first ship to export fresh coconuts from the south to China departs

NDO - On October 25, at Song Than International Transit Station (Di An city, Binh Duong province), Railway Transport and Trade Joint Stock Company (Ratraco) in collaboration with FADO iExport Joint Stock Company organized the departure ceremony of the first train transporting fresh coconuts for export to Guangzhou (China).

Fresh coconut products are officially exported to China.

Implementing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), Vietnam has now officially exported many agricultural products to the Chinese market; including fresh coconuts that have just been approved by China for official import from Vietnam. Previously, fresh coconuts from Vietnam were exported to more than 15 countries around the world. This is a fruit that is harvested all year round and when transporting fresh coconuts for export, it is necessary to use standard refrigerated containers, keeping the temperature stable throughout the journey.

Delegates performed the departure ceremony of the first ship transporting fresh coconuts for export to China.

The first batch of fresh coconuts exported from Song Than International Terminal to Guangzhou (China) included 3 containers weighing 67.5 tons originating from Tien Giang province with a value of about 220,000 Yuan. It is expected that this batch of fresh coconuts will be transported to its destination within 7 days. Transporting the first batch of fresh coconuts exported to China by rail is a new mode of transport, with the advantages of stable transport time, quick customs procedures for import and export to China, and lower logistics costs compared to road transport.

3 containers weighing 67.5 tons of fresh coconuts were exported by rail from Song Than International Transit Station to China.

This is also the solution that FADO iExport Joint Stock Company and Railway Transport and Trade Joint Stock Company wish to coordinate in transporting fresh coconuts to reduce congestion and road congestion at the Vietnam-China border gate, thereby helping to ensure the quality of agricultural products exported to Chinese consumers. At the ceremony, representatives of Railway Transport and Trade Joint Stock Company and FADO iExport Joint Stock Company said that choosing to transport fresh coconuts for export by rail helps ensure the quality of fresh, delicious products when they reach Chinese consumers. At the same time, it demonstrates professionalism and commitment in providing the best products to the international market; both reducing logistics costs for businesses of both countries and contributing to increasing the output of transporting Vietnam's agricultural export products by rail.

Song Than International Transit Station is located in Di An city (Binh Duong province), in the center of the Southern Key Economic Zone and is very convenient for transporting import and export goods between Vietnam and China, especially exported fruits. Currently, the Ministry of Transport has been implementing projects to upgrade and renovate Song Than International Transit Station; it is expected that in the period of 2025-2030, after completing these projects, the station's capacity will reach 3.5 million tons/year and become the largest freight station in the system of railway stations in Vietnam. After the infrastructure serving logistics activities is completed and meets all requirements, Vietnam Railways Corporation plans to exploit Song Than International Transit Station to organize inter-route trains running directly from the station to China, transiting to third countries and vice versa...
