Farm trade with Mongolia

As 10 refrigerated trucks loaded with produce crossed the China-Mongolia border Thursday, the two countries inaugurated their first “green channel” for cross-border agricultural trade.

From now on, trucks with authorized stickers running between the border cities of Erenhot, North China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and Zamyn-Uud in Mongolia, will be given priority in customs clearance, according to Zhang Hongwei, chief of the customs office in Erenhot.

China and Mongolia will also share data on cargo manifests and declarations, and jointly supervise bilateral shipments, Zhang said.

Trade volume through the crossing between Erenhot and Zamyn-Uud accounts for more than 70 percent of cross-border trade between China and Mongolia.
