Dagong Finance and Economics, Chongqing, July 16th (Reporter Han Yi)

The first "Chongqing New Europe" coffee international special train left the central station of Tuanjie Village on the 16th and is expected to arrive in Duisburg, Germany, 14 days later, and then sold to about 20 European countries. In the future, Chongqing will make full use of its geographical advantages, make use of the "Yuxin Europe" Asia-Europe international channel, and take coffee as the main carrier to build the world's third largest coffee futures trading center.

The special train starts from Chongqing, leaves the Alashan pass in Xinjiang, and goes through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and Poland to Duisburg, Germany. It takes about 14 days. Hougu Coffee is a leading enterprise in China's coffee industry, with a coffee planting base of 200000 mu and a production line of 13000 tons of instant coffee. After carrying the "Yuxin Europe" special train, Hougu Coffee takes about 14 days to arrive in Duisburg, Germany from Chongqing, which takes about 2/3 less time than in the past.

"in the future, through the 'Chongqing-New Europe' railway, Hougu Coffee will mainly export raw beans, roasted beans, instant coffee and grinding powder to Europe to meet the needs of different European merchants. It is expected that three to four coffee trains will be shipped to Europe every month, and the value of goods on each train will not be less than 60 million yuan. " Xiong Xiangren, chairman of Dehong Hougu Coffee, said.

It is understood that the planned cooperation between Hougu Coffee and "Yuxin Europe" was started by Chongqing Neng Investment Group, Yuxin Europe Company and Hougu Coffee in May this year. The opening of the first "Chongqing New Europe" Post-Valley Coffee International Special Train is one of the concrete developments after the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement among the three parties, and it is also one of the specific measures to promote the country's "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy.

For Chongqing, the processing and transportation of coffee is also a new economic growth point. According to the person in charge of Chongqing Neng Investment Group, the coffee industry has great potential for development in China, and Yunnan is the largest coffee growing area in China. Yunnan's participation is indispensable to build a coffee channel or coffee spot (futures) trading center in Chongqing. Chongqing will strive to achieve centralized integration of coffee resources such as Yunnan and ASEAN, and eventually achieve economic growth.
