The article highlights the success of the first export of 1,270 tons of Russian cold-pressed linseed oil from Ningxia, China, to the Yinchuan Comprehensive Free Trade Zone. This achievement signifies the completion of the business model for flax seed processing in the zone, potentially saving operating costs and providing new momentum for the development of Ningxia's grain and oil processing industry. The region, a major producer and consumer of linseed oil, faces challenges with domestic flax seed production and relies on imports. The Yinchuan Comprehensive Free Trade Zone, supported by the Belt and Road initiative, is facilitating the import of flax seeds and improving trade channels, contributing to the sustainable and healthy development of flax seed processing enterprises in the area.
