Tridge summary
Recently, the opening ceremony of the 2025 Hongqiao International Coffee Culture Festival and Global Coffee Industry Development Hongqiao Forum was held at the Hongqiao Import Commodity Exhibition and Trading Center (hereinafter referred to as Hongqiao Goods Hub). At the scene, a batch of coffee green beans from Uganda made their first appearance, attracting frequent attention from guests.
This batch of Ugandan coffee green beans was recently imported by Hainan Zhongyu International Cooperation Co., Ltd., totaling 42 tons. After customs clearance, the coffee beans were immediately transferred to a constant temperature and humidity warehouse to prevent moisture and ensure freshness. "After coffee beans enter the bonded logistics center, they can directly connect with purchasers without paying import tariffs and value-added tax. Enterprises can achieve 'zero delay' from bonded warehouse to live streaming room," explained Mo Haowen, deputy director of logistics monitoring at Shenliu Customs under Shanghai Customs.
"Relying on the customs bonded exhibition and trading supervision model, purchasers can directly view sample beans, reducing capital occupation costs and significantly improving capital turnover efficiency," said Li Ying, strategic development director of Hainan Zhongyu.
So far, Hongqiao Goods Hub has collaborated with relevant enterprises to vigorously import coffee green beans from 25 Belt and Road Initiative countries including Ethiopia, Kenya, Vietnam, Peru, and Jamaica, becoming a vivid example of "Silk Road E-commerce" radiation and leading area construction. Data shows that the coffee port has gathered suppliers from 60 global countries and over 100 coffee industry suppliers, driving trade volume of 3 billion yuan.
According to Shanghai Customs statistics, in the first four months of this year, Shanghai port imported coffee worth 26.7 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15.5%. Among this, imported coffee green beans from Africa were valued at 583 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 129.5%.
