108 cubic meters of Sihui navel oranges were exported to the Middle East for the first time.

Recently, four containers loaded with 108 tons of Zigui navel oranges were shipped to the Middle East, successfully arriving in Dubai on December 24. The shipment of navel oranges, valued at $150,000, represents the first order signed by the newly operational Hubei Agricultural Products Dubai Exhibition and Sales Center. The center was jointly built by the Hubei Rural Supply Chain Group and China Agricultural Innovation Port, and officially began operations on November 26. Located in the Deira district of Dubai, the center has an operational center and warehouse area exceeding 2,000 square meters, and is staffed by a team of over 20 people. It focuses on exhibiting and selling a range of agricultural products with Hubei regional characteristics, including Suizhou flower mushrooms, Zigui navel oranges, and Enshi selenium tea. Liu Zheng, the head of cross-border business at the Hubei Rural Supply Chain Group, explained, "By setting up a production warehouse in Yichang, we centrally purchase and pre-process Zigui navel oranges, then ship them in batches through logistics and the overseas warehouse established in Dubai to achieve localized distribution. The entire cold chain logistics process controls product loss to within 5% through temperature control technology."
