Mining and Ningxia cooperate to open up new channels for Ningxia's agricultural products to go overseas

China News Service, Yinchuan, November 13 (Reporter Li Peishan) From the shores of the East China Sea to the foot of the Helan Mountains, Minning and Ningbo cooperation have gone through thirty years. Recently, a joint meeting of the Minning Customs Cooperation and Co-construction Mechanism was held in Fuzhou. The cooperation between Fuzhou, Xiamen and Yinchuan customs has been transformed from temporary docking to a regular mechanism. In September this year, the General Administration of Customs issued the "Minning Customs Cooperation and Co-construction Mechanism"; in early November, this mechanism was included in the cooperation blueprint of the two provinces and regions along with the "15th Five-Year Plan for Minning Cooperation (2026-2030)". Fujian’s seaports and airports have thus become the nearest outlet for Ningxia’s agricultural products.

Located in the hairy crab breeding base in Xingqing District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia, local hairy crabs have entered markets in Malaysia and other places.

As soon as the mechanism was implemented, there was feedback from the fields. On October 13, a batch of Ningxia fresh wolfberries arrived in Hong Kong via Xiamen by air. It only took 30 hours from picking to serving on the table. Fresh wolfberry has thin and delicate skin and has been exported as dried wolfberry for a long time. Yinchuan Customs has classified fresh wolfberry fruit into the fruit supervision code and implemented local customs declaration, "one declaration, one release, one box direct delivery", which has streamlined a key link in supervision and customs clearance.

The pace of exporting local products to overseas markets is accelerating. On October 27, the first batch of Ningxia’s “Yellow River hairy crabs” entered the Malaysian market. A green channel was opened in the export process, with scheduled inspection, priority inspection, and release upon passing the inspection. The customs declaration form for this batch of crabs only took 6 minutes from declaration, visa to release.

Collaboration doesn't stop at level play. In early November, customs experts from the three places held discussions in Yinchuan on tax reduction and exemption, place of origin, and tax risk prevention and control. Digital applications such as "Tariff Intelligent Patrol" and "Benefit Reminder Assistant" were copied and promoted to Yinchuan, and "Bonded Palm Treasure" was simultaneously launched.

According to the deployment of the joint meeting, the customs offices of the three places will implement 11 joint construction tasks and 33 specific measures focusing on five aspects: improving the quality and strength of characteristic industries, coordinated development of export-oriented economies, cross-regional interconnection, and linkage of industrial parks. Recommendations for overseas registration of dairy products, land-based marine fish farming, south-to-north fruit cultivation, and comprehensive protection zone linkage are all listed.

For growers and farmers in Ningxia, this road is not over yet. In accordance with the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for Minning Cooperation (2026-2030)", the customs of the three places will next promote the implementation of operation models such as "air-to-air transfer" and "airside through". By the next harvest season, agricultural goods may be shipped faster from the foot of Helan Mountain.
