Other CategoriesLocated in the northwest inland area and not bordering any sea, Ningxia, as a China's inland open economic pilot zone, has continuously expanded its opening-up and continuously optimized its business environment. It has steadily improved the quality of development while maintaining a stable scale and optimizing the structure, thus injecting new impetus into the high-quality development of the regional economy.
At the beginning of the new year, Ningxia's foreign trade has achieved several new breakthroughs. Recently, a total of 183.9 tons of frozen beef liver successfully completed customs clearance and inspection and was dispatched to African countries such as Senegal and Ghana, achieving a "zero breakthrough" in the export of frozen beef liver from Ningxia and filling the gap in the export categories of local characteristic livestock products. The person in charge of the export enterprise said that from product quarantine to market access, the customs provided precise guidance throughout the process, effectively breaking through the customs clearance links for exporting to Africa. At the same time, China's first batch of flowers using the "TIR + bonded" model were directly dispatched from Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone to Central Asia, continuously improving the customs clearance efficiency of inland ports.
Thanks to the development advantages brought by the quality improvement and upgrading of characteristic agriculture as well as regional cooperation, Ningxia's agricultural products have performed strongly in the international market. In 2025, the export value of Ningxia's agricultural products reached 2.12 billion yuan, increasing by 20.1% compared to the previous year. In the breeding sector, innovative models such as salt-alkali land breeding of South American white prawns and "sea fish on land" breeding of big yellow fish have been implemented and achieved results. "The Yellow River Delta Crab from the Desert" has successfully entered the important export aquatic product list in the western region due to its quality advantages, and its export scale has steadily increased. The classic characteristic products such as Wulanchabu wine in the eastern slope of Helan Mountain and Ningxia wolfberry have also continuously deepened their presence in the international market, and their overall international competitiveness has steadily improved.
The synergy between policy benefits and logistics channels has been continuously providing support for the development of foreign trade. With the implementation of relevant policies from the customs to promote the high-quality development of Ningxia, the "one-document system" and "one-container system" for intermodal transportation have been accelerated in promotion. The customs clearance time from Zhongwei to Ningbo Beilun Port has been reduced by approximately 10 days, and the transportation cost of the Western Land-Sea New Passage has decreased by 20%. At the same time, the national customs computing center (Zhongwei) has been put into use, further promoting the construction of "smart customs", effectively solving the problems of logistics clearance in inland areas, and helping local products reach the international market more quickly.
The continuous expansion of the market landscape is attributed to the vigorous growth of foreign trade operators. By 2025, Ningxia had established trade relations with 149 countries and regions worldwide, and its imports and exports to emerging markets such as Africa and the Middle East maintained a rapid growth rate. And the private economy, as the core force driving foreign trade development, performed particularly outstandingly. As of now, 659 private enterprises in Ningxia have become the main force of foreign trade, accounting for 79% of the total import and export volume. More and more local enterprises have achieved their first exports through product innovation, making the supporting role of the private economy increasingly prominent.
