Changsha January 21, RedNet – On January 21, 2016, the Belt and Road Press Conference Of China-Laos Outcomes Of Rice Cooperation and Launching Ceremony Of Laotian Rice In China was held in Changsha Jinxia Bonded Area, symbolizing the formal entrance of Laotian rice into Chinese market. Phet Phomphiphak, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry of Laos delivered a speech through video. Cai Zixing and Wang Tingming of Hunan Province attended the launching ceremony.
At the launching ceremony, leaders from China and Laos as well as Xu Guowu, Chairman of Hunan Xuanye Ecological Agriculture Development Co., Ltd., jointly revealed the mysterious veil of Laotian rice. Xiong Fangping, Deputy Secretary General of Hunan Provincial People’s Government declared, ‘Laotian rice is officially exported to China and first launched in China today!’ This symbolizes the formal entrance of natural and pollution-free Laotian rice of original ecology into Chinese market and the beginning of global sales. Marketing channels include Laos Venue in Jinxia Bonded Area, COFCO Womai, COOP168 and so50.
As the exclusive official import and export dealer of Laotian rice in China, Xuanye Co., in the spirit of Hunan enterprises “going global”, established Xuanye (Laos) Co., Ltd. at the end of 2014 and built up a 2,000 hectare rice production base of demonstrative mode in Laos. On October 27, 2015, General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ) gave a notice approving Xuanye (Laos) Co., Ltd. to sell Laotian rice to Chinese market. On January 6, 2016, the first batch of 88 tons of Laotian rice arrived in China and will be officially sold after the launching ceremony today.
Laos is located in the golden ecological producing area in Southeast Asia, abounding in excellent rice of sweet and aromatic flavor. Rice here remains a growing method of original ecology, but with very low yields of only 150kg per mu (equivalent to around 666 m2). Therefore, Laotian rice is scarce. In particular, Laotian farmers have never used pesticides for crops so far (there is no pesticide producer within the territory of Laos), which ensure nutrition and safety of every grain of natural and pollution-free rice.
Due to traffic inconvenience plus personality of staying where they are, Laotian rice is unknown to the world. Hunan Xuanye introduced Laotian rice to China from a long distance by truck and by sea after doing various inspections, which symbolizes a deeper cooperation in economy and trade between China and Laos. It is also a great achievement of friendship between the two countries and execution of China’s Belt and Road in Laos.
