URUMQI, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) — From sweet melons to juicy kiwis, Chinese produce is fast becoming a favorite choice for the fruit basket of residents of other Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) member countries.
In the first seven months of 2025, Horgos, a major internal trade port between northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and SCO member states, exported 329,000 tonnes of fruits, vegetables and nuts to other SCO member states, up 37.1 percent year-on-year, according to local customs data.
Every day, long lines of refrigerated trucks pass through the Khorgos checkpoint along the China-Kazakhstan “green corridor” for agricultural goods. This fast-track procedure allows products to clear customs within 24 hours.
Yu Chengzhong, chairman of Khorgos-based Jin Yi Group, said his firm has signed contracts to supply 50,000 tons of fruit to Central Asian countries and Russia this year.
“We now send more than 50 trucks of fruits and vegetables overseas every day, amounting to over 1,000 tons,” Yu Chengzhong said, noting that from January to July this year, the company exported 150,000 tons of fruits and vegetables, resulting in a trade turnover of over 1.8 billion yuan (about 253.4 million US dollars).
“Growing high-quality fruits and seeing them sold overseas makes me feel really proud,” said local producer Xu Zhichun. “Recently, we have been picking and packing fruits every day to send batches to Kazakhstan,” she said.
Xu Zhichun also added that the volume of export orders jumped by 70 percent in August as it is the peak harvest season for local delicacy fruits.
Growing purchasing power and interest in diversified products are driving increased imports of Chinese fruits by other SCO member states. As transportation links and cold chain logistics improve in Central Asia, increasing supply efficiency, demand for Chinese fruits is expected to remain high. –0–
