CCTV News: These days, Maoming, Guangdong has ushered in the peak season for lychee harvesting. Local agricultural and trade enterprises are actively connecting with international market standards and exploring overseas markets. The customs department has helped lychees to go overseas through technical assistance and optimization of customs clearance.
In a farmer's business in Maoming, Guangdong, nearly 10 tons of standardized packaging of early-mature lychee "Fai Zixiao" is ready to go. After passing the customs quarantine, it will be shipped to Australia in the southern hemisphere.
In order to make the "one-day color change" lychees go further, the local customs helped orchards and processing plants quickly obtain export registration qualifications, and opened a "green channel", which increased the efficiency of lychees' customs clearance time by more than 20%.
He Di, deputy director of Maoming Customs, introduced that if you help qualified orchards to carry out registration and obtain an export pass as quickly as possible, the newly registered lychee orchards in 2025 are about 1,500 acres.
In recent years, with advanced fresh preservation technology and excellent taste, Guangdong Maoming lychees have become popular in overseas markets, and exports have increased year by year. According to statistics, in 2024, Maoming Customs supervised the export of lychees of 71.054 million yuan, and more than 20 countries and regions were exported, setting a record high, and the export volume of deep-processed products surged by 378.9%.
