The first "Yuxin Europe" international special train loaded with Yunnan Hougu coffee recently left Tuanjie Village in Chongqing and arrived in Duisburg, Germany 14 days later, saving 2/3 of the time compared with traditional trade shipping and greatly reducing the cost for enterprises. In the next step, Chongqing will make full use of its geographical advantages to integrate the Maritime Silk Road, the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and the land silk economic belt, with Chongqing as the central hub and coffee as the main carrier. we will strive to concentrate no less than 1 million tons of coffee from Asian countries to Chongqing within three years, sell it to Europe through the "Chongqing New Europe" railway, and seize the opportunity to build up the third largest coffee futures trading center in the world. We will strive to promote the implementation of the national "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy.

"Yunnan Yue Europe" + "Yuxin Europe" will become the broadest channel of inland radiation range.

The "Yuxin Europe" Hougu Coffee International Special Train is the result of the tripartite marriage of Chongqing Neng Tou, Yuxin Europe Company and Hougu Coffee at the Yu Trade Fair in May this year. With regard to the common understanding: the combined transport of "Yunnan, Vietnam, Chongqing and Europe" will become the broadest inland radiation range and involve the largest number of countries to truly realize the "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy. Feng Yue, chairman of Chongqing Neng Investment, said: the group is vigorously promoting "transformation and upgrading, reform and innovation". In the process of transformation and upgrading, the group found the great potential for the development of the coffee industry in China, and actively carried out strategic cooperation with Hougu Coffee. Give full play to the advantages of the group and the advantages of Hougu Coffee, a leading enterprise in China's coffee industry, and strive to make Chongqing a meeting point of internal and external links between Chinese coffee and world coffee. We should give full play to the special advantage of "coffee can participate in the world economic cycle" and make good use of Chongqing as the most important international hub of the Maritime Silk Road, the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and the land silk economic belt. Yunnan coffee, ASEAN coffee and other resources will be concentrated and integrated into Chongqing.

Chongqing Port extends from European countries to the west and radiates the whole Asia-Pacific region eastward through the Yangtze River Delta, while coffee is the second major trading commodity after oil, with coffee as the carrier. Chongqing will become a major channel to truly realize the national "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy with the richest content and the most radiating countries.

Yunnan is the largest coffee growing area in China, and Kunming is the best coffee storage place in the world. Yunnan can not do without the participation of Yunnan to build a coffee channel or a coffee spot (futures) trading center in Chongqing.

Xiong Xiangren, chairman of Hougu Coffee, said: "Chongqing and Kunming are the geometric centers of Asia. Hougu Coffee will strive to promote the construction of two core ports. One is to make full use of Chongqing's advantages to build Chongqing into a coffee port for river-sea intermodal transportation." build a coffee distribution center and strive to realize the trading of coffee spot (futures). The second is to make full use of Yunnan's geographical advantages, through the Yunnan-Vietnam railway, to build Kunming into an important coffee port for Yunnan-Vietnam-Chongqing-Europe intermodal transport, and to truly realize the spot (futures) trading of coffee through the interconnection between Chongqing and Kunming. For Chongqing and Kunming, it will be the performance of the country's' Belt and Road Initiative 'strategy with the broadest range of radiation influence. "

Chongqing may build the third largest coffee futures trading center in the world.

In the eyes of many, it is almost impossible to turn Chongqing into "the third largest coffee futures trading center in the world".

It is strange that, as the larger coffee distribution center in the world, there is no coffee in New York in the United States, there is no coffee in London, and there is no coffee in Hamburg, Germany. Chongqing, like New York, London and Hamburg, has obvious geographical advantages, developed finance and abundant talents. "there is no coffee Phoenix in Chongqing, but there are coffee sycamore trees in Chongqing!"

With the normalization of the two-way operation of the "Chongqing New Europe" international train, the international trade channel of "Chongqing New Europe" has become a national strategy and an important foundation and support for Chongqing to implement the national "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy. In order to respond and actively participate in the implementation of the national "Belt and Road Initiative" strategy, Chongqing Neng Investment, Chongqing Xinou Logistics Company and Hougu Coffee signed a strategic cooperation agreement: Hougu Coffee (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. will be established. Starting from the opening of the first "Yuxin Europe" Hougu Coffee International Special Train on July 16, 2015, it is planned to transport 30, 000-50, 000 tons of Hougu coffee in 2015 and 100000-150000 tons in 2016. It reached 250000-300000 tons in 2017, concentrating no less than 1 million tons of coffee from Asian countries to Chongqing and westward to Europe within three years. And set up the world's third largest coffee futures trading center in Chongqing.

It is understood that China actually has good coffee. The existing coffee planting area in China is about 1.88 million mu, of which Yunnan coffee planting area is 1.87 million mu, accounting for 99%. As the geographical conditions of Yunnan are similar to those of Colombia and Jamaica, and the varieties of coffee are similar, the quality of coffee produced in Yunnan is similar to that of Colombian coffee and Blue Mountain coffee.

Yunnan Hougu Coffee is the leading enterprise in China's coffee industry and the only "well-known trademark in China" in the whole coffee industry chain. it has more than 200,000 mu of coffee planting base and has built a 13000-ton instant coffee production line. the new 20000-ton coffee production line will be completed by the end of 2015, when it will become the largest single instant coffee manufacturer in the world. It is estimated that by 2017, the sales revenue of Hougu coffee will exceed 10 billion yuan. Within three years, partners will reach more than 60 countries and regions in the world.
