Imagine biting into a juicy blueberry… but this little berry has a global story! During the 14th Five-Year Plan, the combined trade between the Chinese mainland and Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) partner countries topped $3.1 trillion. One secret behind that success? Chancay Port in Peru, a fresh food express route cutting weeks off shipping times.
At Chancay Port, blueberries (and other perishables) zoom straight to key markets, slashing logistics costs and ensuring fruit arrives at peak freshness. This speedy route is more than just a shortcut—it’s a new engine for economic growth. Youth entrepreneurs, keen students, and diaspora communities all benefit from faster delivery, competitively priced goods, and stronger ties across continents.
China is ramping up high-quality BRI cooperation by investing in smart infrastructure, sustainable logistics, and win-win partnerships. The goal: share prosperity and connect producers, traders, and consumers in a seamless network. As the 14th Five-Year Plan wraps up, CGTN’s comic series maps the journey of a blueberry in its fifth episode—unpacking how high-level opening-up drives mutual gains. 🌍💼
Next time you snack on fresh berries, remember the global teamwork behind every bite. From fields in Peru to markets worldwide, the fresh food express shows how cooperation and innovation can bring the world closer… one blueberry at a time! 🍓🚢🤝
