Henan's Featured Agricultural Products Popular Worldwide

河南特色农产品走俏海外

Recently, a local tea company in Xinyang city of Henan province received a black tea order worth 1 million yuan from Malaysia. The customer asked for prompt delivery. Benefiting from the green channel set up by Zhengzhou Customs for agricultural products, the company completed customs clearance on the same day and delivered their goods smoothly.

日前，信阳盛世佳茗茶业有限公司从马来西亚获得一笔价值100万元的红茶订单，客户要求尽快发货。得益于郑州海关开设的农产品通关绿色通道，当天就办完手续，茶叶顺利上船出海。

"We have seen a fast increase in our export business. In the first 5 months, our export value registered nearly 30 million yuan, doubled that of the same period of last year. We are planning to expand into new markets." The company's president told Henan Daily on June 18.

“今年以来我们的出口业务增长很快，前5个月出口额近3000万元，是去年同期的2倍，为公司发展注入了新动力。现在大家干事创业的劲头都很足，正在谋划开拓新市场。”6月18日，盛世佳茗公司董事长孙超说。

This company is only among various tea exporters in Henan. So far, Xinyang city has seen its green tea, black tea, brick or compressed tea and matcha (powdered green tea) exported to 19 countries and regions, such as Uzbekistan, Spain and the US, said Xinyang Customs. During the January-May period, 128 million yuan of tea was exported via Xinyang Customs with a year-on-year increase of almost 50 percent. The ever-accelerating export business also boosts the quality and quantity of the local tea industry.

该公司只是河南茶叶出口大军里的一员。信阳海关相关负责人介绍，目前，信阳茶叶出口品种已扩充至绿茶、红茶、砖茶、抹茶4个系列，出口市场拓展到乌兹别克斯坦、西班牙、美国等19个国家和地区。今年前5个月，该关共监管信阳茶叶出口货值1.28亿元，同比增长近50%。不断提速的出口业务也带动当地茶产业持续扩量提质。

Despite many unfavorable factors in foreign trade, Henan has seen strong growth momentum in the export of agricultural products this year. In the first 5 months, the export value of agricultural products of Henan expanded 70.3 percent year-on-year to 7.56 billion yuan. Xinyang's tea, Nanyang's mugwort, Zhongmu's garlic, Xixia's shiitake mushroom and various canned foods, vegetables, meat, etc., were the main exports.

今年以来，在外贸发展面临诸多不利因素影响下，河南农产品出口却逆势而上，增速强劲。据郑州海关统计，今年前5个月，全省农产品出口额达75.6亿元，同比增长70.3%。其中，“信阳茶叶”“南阳艾草”“中牟大蒜”“西峡香菇”以及各类罐头、蔬菜、肉类等特色农产品是主要出口品类。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/孙静 编译/赵汉青 何蒙贺 审校/张军平）
