NANNING, Dec 1- Amidst the hustle of dockworkers and the rhythmic hum of machinery, an assortment of frozen seafood was loaded onto cargo ships bound for Southeast Asia.
According to the producer of these seafood products, Beihai Quality Aquatic Products Co Ltd, based in the city of Beihai in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, the company has seen increasing sales to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since last year.
Shi Haiting, a company official, attributes the expansion of the company’s export opportunities in ASEAN countries, particularly Malaysia and Thailand, to the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
Beihai, Guangxi’s largest aquatic product processing and export base and a major industrial city, enjoys strong demand from ASEAN member countries for its mechanical and electrical products, high-tech items, and aquatic goods.
Serving as a gateway to ASEAN, Guangxi is swiftly ramping up its engagement with ASEAN nations across various sectors.
