THE huaihua International Land Port handled 4,382 TEU aboard 88 freight trains in April, according to the New Land-Sea Corridor Operation (Hunan) Co, reports New Hunan Daily.
In the first four months of this year, the port operated a total of 354 freight trains carrying 17,700 TEU, marking a 32 per cent year-on-year increase.
Since the beginning of this year, the Huaihua International Land Port has transported 300,000 tonnes worth about CNY2.6 billion (US$361.7 million) with an inbound-to-outbound cargo ratio of 1:1.6.
The port has operated five cold chain freight train trips (of 246 TEU, completing 41 per cent of this year's target) and 130 rail-sea intermodal train trips.
In 2025, six new routes were added, bringing the total to 161, a 3.87 per cent increase. The transport network has been expanded to 158 ports and stations across 52 countries and regions. The port has handled 17 categories of goods, covering 399 specific product types.
The rapid development of the Huaihua International Land Port has been driven by the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
The agreement has significantly boosted trade between Huaihua and ASEAN as well as other RCEP member countries. From January to April this year, the port operated 140 ASEAN-bound freight train trips (with 6,976 TEU), including 115 China-Laos ones (up nine per cent year on year) and 13 China-Vietnam ones (a sixfold increase). Additionally, 96 domestic freight train trips were processed.
During this period, the China-Laos and China-Vietnam freight train services moved 90,000 tonnes of goods worth CNY500 million.
Imports from ASEAN such as Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam included tapioca starch, longan, bananas, steel products, hot-rolled steel wire rods, and plastic mulch film, while exports primarily consisted of general merchandise, ammonium sulfate, and ammonium bicarbonate.
As Hunan's only ASEAN freight hub, the Huaihua International Land Port benefits from a direct route to the Beibu Gulf Port, further enhancing logistics efficiency and accelerating cargo throughput.
