Jingxi City’s Processing Industry Fuels Local Economic Growth

JINGXI, China, Sept. 13, 2024 — Jingxi City in Guangxi has achieved a significant breakthrough in its processing industry with the first export of locally processed salt-baked cashews to Kazakhstan.

Jingxi City has actively implemented a development model that combines border trading with local processing, processing imported raw materials at the Border Economic Industrial Park in Jingxi City and selling the finished products to domestic and international markets. To foster the growth of the local processing industry, Jingxi City has leveraged its border trade advantages, continuously advancing the construction of the Longbang Port, enhancing the infrastructure of the border trading venue, and establishing a comprehensive “one platform and three markets” system. These initiatives have simplified and standardized the border trade process, effectively transforming Longbang Port from a passage economy to a port economy and creating a favorable environment for local processing enterprises.

Currently, Jingxi City boasts 23 local processing enterprises engaged in border trade, including 9 enterprises above designated scale. These enterprises primarily process products such as cold-chain aquatic products, nut products, and traditional Chinese medicine products across various processing fields.

According to data from the Publicity Department of Jingxi City, from January to July this year, the total value of imported goods processed locally at Longbang Port reached 2.187 billion yuan. Among these, the local processing output value of nine enterprises above designated scale reached 1.306 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 157.94%. The local processing industry has emerged as a significant driver of economic growth for Jingxi City. Jingxi City will further promote the development of the local processing industry, continue to increase support for enterprises, and consistently optimize the business environment to ensure that all project implementation elements are guaranteed.
