BEIJING, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) — Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) has imported live king crabs worth more than 100 million yuan (about 14.23 million U.S. dollars) since the beginning of 2025 as of Dec. 22, China Central Television reported, citing data from the local Jimunai port.
The Jimunai checkpoint, located in the Jimunai county of Altay Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, at the junction of the borders of China, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia, is the only border crossing in Xinjiang through which live king crabs are imported. The first import of such products took place in October 2024.
After customs clearance, some of the imported crabs will be immediately delivered to the market, while others will be transferred to a special temporary breeding pond at the checkpoint. The pond simulates the natural aquatic environment of the Arctic Ocean, and the water temperature is maintained between 0 and 1 degree Celsius to ensure the crabs maintain maximum viability and can be shipped to the domestic market at any time according to orders.
Currently, king crabs imported through the Jimunai Port are quickly delivered to major consumer markets in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, through an efficient cold chain logistics system. -0-
