According to customs statistics, my country's imports in 2024 will be 18.39 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.3%. Especially as December approaches New Year’s Day and Spring Festival, my country’s imports of consumer goods exceeded 160 billion yuan, a new high in the past 21 months.

On January 11, with a long whistle, an international cargo ship carrying more than 1,000 containers of Chilean cherries with a total weight of more than 20,000 tons slowly docked at Nansha Port in Guangzhou. This is the largest single batch of Chilean cherries imported from Nansha Port since the new cherry production season of 2024-2025.

 

Over 20,000 tons of cherries were imported into my country,The price will be more affordable    

It is understood that there are expected to be 12 direct Cheli Zi express ships docking at Nansha Port around the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake.More than 10,000 containers of cherries with a total weight of over 20,000 tons were imported from Nansha Port, accounting for about 30% of the national total. Nansha Port will also become the largest import port of cherries in China for three consecutive years.

The person in charge of the foreign w88 company said that nearly 60% of the cherries will be sold locally in Guangzhou, and the rest will be distributed to other cities across the country such as Dongguan, Shanghai, and Beijing.“As the arrival of cherries gradually increases, the prices become more affordable.”

    

   

Currently, more than 92% of Chilean cherry production is exported to China. A small cherry, riding on the east wind that promotes high-level opening up to the outside world, flies from the other side of the ocean to the homes of ordinary people. The price has gradually changed from expensive to "people-friendly", witnessing that the open Chinese market has become a great opportunity for the world.

my country’s import scale continues to expand,Residents’ desire to consume imported goods is gradually increasing 

In 2024, my country's import scale will continue to expand, which not only meets domestic production needs, but also enriches consumer choices.

• Last year, my country’s domestic industrial production increased steadily, driving the import value of electronic components, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and computer parts to increase by 10.1%, 21%, and 62.6% respectively.

• Iron ore, natural gas, coal and other bulk commodity imports increased by 4.9%, 9.9% and 14.4% respectively.

• In the same period, my country's import demand for many consumer goods for people's livelihood was relatively strong, such as clothing, fruit, wine and other import values increasing by 5.6%, 8.6% and 38.8% respectively.

Tu Xinquan, Dean of the China World w88 Organization Research Institute at the w88 casino, said that while exports are constantly expanding, my country’s import w88 is also growing steadily. As the world's largest manufacturing country, my country's demand for related raw materials, intermediate products and equipment is very strong, which directly drives the w88 and economic growth of related countries. At the same time, as one of the world's largest markets, Chinese residents' desire and ability to consume imported goods are also continuing to increase. In recent years, our country has also continuously reduced import tariffs on consumer goods, expanded market access to countries around the world, and shared China's economic development opportunities.
