Recently, a batch of dried mango imported from Thailand by a trading company in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, landed at Qinzhou Port and was transported to Chengdu by sea rail combined transport train after passing the customs inspection. As an important window of Qinzhou's opening up to the outside world, Qinzhou Port comes and goes by ship every day. Sea rail intermodal trains connect 12 provinces in the west, and there are 37 foreign trade container routes, realizing full coverage of major ASEAN ports.

The rapid progress of Yabao's battery grade lithium hydroxide project with an annual output of 25000 tons is a microcosm of Qinzhou's initiative to serve the development of foreign enterprises. In order to precisely serve the high-quality development of foreign-funded enterprises, Qinzhou Port Area issued and promoted the implementation of the Interim Measures for Promoting the Development of Foreign funded Equity Investment Enterprises in Qinzhou Port Area of China (Guangxi) Pilot Free Trade Zone, established a foreign equity investment leading group and established a joint meeting mechanism. At the same time, cooperate with the customs to sort out the List of Qinzhou Export RCEP Zero Tariff Advantage Commodities, and work with relevant research institutions to carry out research on the subject of "benchmarking the RCEP rules to promote the high-quality development of Qinzhou Port Area", so that enterprises can enjoy the policy dividend.

Highlighting advantages Foreign funded projects have been launched

Qinzhou, located at the core of the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone, is the intersection of the three main channels of the new land sea channel in the west. Opening up is the most distinctive feature of Qinzhou, and the pilot free trade zone is an important platform for the city's opening up.

"This year Qinzhou Port Area will make greater efforts to promote high-quality development of an open economy, focus on reform and innovation, open cooperation, build a pilot free trade zone at a high level, and introduce a number of implementation plans." Mo Fuwen, deputy director of Qinzhou Port Area Management Committee, said that by carrying out five innovative businesses in the financial innovation pilot project of China Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park and establishing and improving the "white list" of pilot enterprises, the total business volume had reached 19.86 billion yuan by the end of November this year; This area also implements the reform and innovation of the development of foreign-funded equity investment enterprises, and promotes the signing and settlement of the first QFLP fund project in Guangxi, "Guangxi Free Trade Zone Qiyuan Changheng Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership)" in Qinzhou Port Area. Three qualified overseas limited partner (QFLP) funds have been registered. At the same time, the Beibu Gulf (Guangxi) bulk commodity trading platform was set up, trial operation was started and the first transaction was completed, so as to push the business of Qinzhou Port Area's localized bulk commodity trading platform to achieve a breakthrough of zero.

The continuous improvement of the platform carrier has further opened a window for Qinzhou to connect with the rest of the world. In addition to the import and export trade in full swing, Qinzhou enterprises have also continued to accelerate the pace of "going global". "We organize enterprises to participate in the Spring and Autumn Canton Fair, the Foreign Trade Fair and the China International Import Expo to help enterprises expand the international market and seize foreign trade orders." Zuo Kongtian, Director of Qinzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce, introduced.

On the other side, enterprises from some countries and regions have chosen to settle in Qinzhou. With the development of bulk commodity trade in Qinzhou Port Area, such as timber, phosphorus chemical industry and titanium ore, enterprises such as Wood Mining Group and Guangxi Jinguang Trade have been attracted to settle down. These foreign investment projects are deeply integrated with Qinzhou's industrial chain, which will add new engines for economic development. "In the face of the complex and severe external environment, all relevant departments have continuously increased their efforts to overcome difficulties, and made great efforts to stabilize foreign investment." Zuo Kongtian said.
