In the north-east of China opened the wholesale market for direct fruit and vegetable exports to Russia. Area of 70 thousand. Sq. m not the first and not the last project of the Chinese, designed to increase fruit and vegetable supply. Against the background of food sanctions Chinese farmers can significantly strengthen its position in the Russian market. But the safety of Chinese products could be in doubt because of the bad environmental situation in the country.
The Chinese company opens Baorong area of direct export to Russia of vegetables and fruits in the county Dongning, reports words of the chairman of the Association of Applied Economics, Heilongjiang Province Zhang Chuntszyao «Interfax».

In fact, Baorong – a wholesale market area of 70 thousand. Sq. m, equipped with a warehouse area of 30 thousand. sq. m, refined Chinese economist. Customs clearance at the site will be reduced by eliminating the need to re-check the goods in stock supervisory thanks to constant video surveillance.
Investment in the project amounted to more than 60 million yuan ($ 9.7 million).
According to Zhang Chuntszyao, at the end of 2014 is planned to introduce a similar platform for the supply of agricultural products to Russia, which is building corporation “Dili».
It is reported Heilongjiang Province, the results of 2012 became a major Dongning Chinese border point in terms of trade with Russia.

August 8 of Customs of China and Russia have also published information on the implementation of the mutual recognition of customs inspection in two transmission, “Dongning” – “Poltavka” and “Suifenhe” – “The Edge», reported Chinese edition of “People’s Daily”. This means direct admission of certain goods in the territory of another country, if this product has been tested inside of Customs, said in an interview “Zhongxin” Deputy Director of Customs Harbin Fu Kuansyan. “After the introduction of the system of mutual recognition of customs inspection significantly reduced the time of customs clearance, reduce the cost of imports and exports, at the same time reduced the use of work resources on both sides,” – he said.
In the current regime of the simplified customs control carried out in respect of fruit and vegetables from China and lumber from Russia. These logistics centers with a new simplified system of customs control can be a great help to secure the Chinese fruit and vegetable producers in the Russian food market amid sanctions against the West.
China has traditionally been a major supplier of fruit and vegetable products Russia, said “the Newspaper” analyst of “Finam Management” Maxim Klyagin. “In times of drought in 2010 is the expansion of imports from China was able to neutralize its negative effect, – he says. – The organization of large infrastructure hub that facilitates the concentration of supply in the border coupled with a simplified legal regime, a prerequisite for a broad expansion of imports in Russia ».
Food sanctions Russia made it impossible to supply fruit and vegetables, for example, from the European Union. Therefore, according to experts, Russia faces a major challenge – to have time to provide consumers of imported products in the low season closer to spring, what can help farmers in China. Alternative to Chinese products are fruits and vegetables from the Middle East, Israel, Turkey and Latin America.
area “Baozhun” is not the first project for the supply of vegetables and fruits, and China previously exported large amounts of fruit and vegetable production in Russia by other projects. Logistics cluster of urban county Ninan, “the first intercontinental port” Heilongjiang Province, two years of work has been put in Russia 400 thousand.

«Tomatoes, red, as in Israel, cucumbers color as green agate, bell pepper as jadeite – all these vegetables grown successfully in households Ninanya “, and then transported in containers to Russia, the newspaper writes.
The growing trade relations between Russia and China and the increasing amount of supply of fruit and vegetable products from the north-eastern provinces of the country are particularly interesting in the context of environmental problems in China. A report published in January 2014, “the document №1» among the priorities of the Government of the PRC in 2014 were listed agriculture and the environment. The document acknowledged that the industrial pollution of water and soil has led to a series of environmental disasters in rural areas. In particular, at the end of last year, it was stated that more than 3.3 million hectares of arable land in China is not suitable for crop production due to industrial pollution and pesticides.
Of particular concern to the authorities is bordering Russia north-eastern provinces of China, where the accumulating years of environmental issues has led to a reduction of fresh water supplies.
Party leaders urged to take unprecedented measures to accelerate the improvement of the environmental situation and increase arable land.
