URUMQI, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) — An international air route for cargo transportation of fruits and vegetables was launched on Saturday from Urumqi, capital of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The first cargo plane on the flight was carrying more than 18 tons of Xinjiang-produced products, including melons, tomato products, raisins and dried apples.
Previously, fruits and vegetables from Xinjiang were mainly transported to Middle Eastern countries by sea, land and rail, which was characterized by long transportation times and difficulties in maintaining freshness, said Zhu Shiqiang, chairman of the Xinjiang Fruit Industry Group.
With the official launch of the new shipping route, fruits and vegetables from Xinjiang can now be directly delivered to Dubai in about six hours, he said.
Currently, Xinjiang's agricultural products have been exported to more than 10 countries and regions around the world, including Thailand, Kazakhstan and Russia. In the future, there are also plans to open new air cargo routes to deliver fruits and vegetables to countries and regions such as Southeast Asia, Japan, the Republic of Korea and Europe. -0-
