Peru 秘鲁

The first shipment of fresh Peruvian bananas arrived in China via the Chancay–Shanghai shipping route.

CCTV.com report (Xinwen Lianbo): Since the start of this year, China has promoted balanced development of imports and exports and stepped up efforts to expand imports. As a global “super buyer,” China’s enormous market and continued opening-up are bringing broad market opportunities to countries around the world. Not long ago, the first shipment of fresh Peruvian bananas arrived in China via the “Chancay–Shanghai” shipping route, which has cut by one-third the maritime shipping time from South America to China. At the central air-cargo hub in Ezhou, Hubei, a freighter that had flown from Ethiopia’s capital arrived fully loaded. The Addis Ababa–Ezhou cargo route now operates seven flights a week. In the first nine months of this year, the number of flights on the route increased by nearly 60% compared with the same period last year.
